Loving this device

by The JuneBug from SC on 2010-07-03
Ok. Are you ready? - Cell phone - Navigation system (GPS) - Email - Web browser - mp3 player - video player and all the features in a SINGLE DEVICE. Oh sure, everyone has laughed at me because it took me SO LONG to get a GPS but this device has IT ALL!!!!!!! Be prepared to sign up for Google (no big deal). LOVE THE RAISED KEYBOARD. I was considering the Motorola droid but bought this one because it's lighter, rounded corners and raised keyboard to make keys easier to find and press. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!! I even used it on vacation to navigate to the beach, play youtube videos for my nephews, find restauraunts via voice and check my email. I want to know when this is going to evolve into a computer -- all they need is a larger hard drive and a monitor to plug it in to.

The best

by Suzysadie from on 2010-07-14
This is my first smart phone and am absolutely thrilled. I had intended to wait for the iphone to be available on another carrier but who knows how long that will be! Now that I've had my Ally for a few months, I don't think I will even get the a fore mentioned device. I love the external keyboard as well as the touch keypad.The touch is nicely responsive(not like the Apple products but still good). This phone does everything. GPS navigation, internet, phone, games, camera, etc. I have 2 complaints. First is the internal memory could be bigger. I'm limited with the apps I can add, but so often I find I wasn't using them anyhow. They're easily uninstalled in the manage apps section. I still have several apps on it. Secondly it won't play the videos that I transferred to it from my old phone. It plays the video but it has no audio. If anyone knows how to fix this, please post it. If you want a well rounded phone, this is the one. Easily connected with my blue-tooth and it comes with a 4gb sd card. The battery has held up well for me also. The first week it didn't but I was on it 24/7 playing with it. I still give it a 5 star even with my 2 complaints.

Best form/function in an Android

I've been an active user, including many apps, since purchasing this phone 3 weeks ago and had a Blackberry for 2 years prior. This phone is a bit thicker but lighter than Moto Droid which my wife owns. The LG Ally screen is a bit shorter and narrower than the Motorola but I find that a positive, giving the whole phone a smaller footprint and requiring a smaller belt pouch. Small but thicker size means less flex and less torque on the screen in response to external forces. I also prefer the LG Ally's smoother exterior contours over the sharp edges of the Motorola or the HTC. I've always found LG build quality to be superb. LG showed true genius in choosing physical (rather than virtual) buttons for Send, End, Homepage, Menu, Back & Search which are available 100% of the time regardless of screen content. As with all Droids, get a good Task-killer app (I use Advanced Task Killer) to shut down unnecessary running apps when turning off the phone; it saves a lot of battery power.

Simplistic Android Phone Yet!

This is kind of your basic Android phone, but that's not a bad thing by any means. It's awesome, because it's sooo much easier to use than the rest of the Android phones, because this phone doesn't have all the unnecessary apps, buttons, colors the rest of the phones have. Nuff said!

Turning off and openning dial pad,

I really like the ALLY; I'm having problems tuning it off, when I called about this they had me remove the battery to reboot it, but I'm still learning all the tricks about this phone. P.S. pick up the accessories on amazon or ebay
