The only device that maybe will make me replace my beloved Desire (or the HD2 I still use for biznez) will be the Nokia N8 if it delivers all the joys it has promised ; surely not this fuglysome LG contraption.
But since I'm still a bit bitter after the disappointment the N97 turned out to be, this time I guess I'll let someone else check out if Nokia blew it once again or not.
For the forseeable future my HTCs (desire & HD2) are all I need.
In any case LG has its job cut out if it wants to fend off the competition nowadays.]]>May 3rd 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/@Elranzer Make it the right price... and they have a deal!(too bad I'min contract till 2011...)]]>May 3rd 2010 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/

I love it. I hope it comes with a front camera...

I tried out the Droid Incredible at a Verizon store over the weekend and despite the ranting and raving... it feels just like a generic Android handset. Sure, it's got a nice set of specs but it's gotten quite bland when every phone looks alike and acts alike in its' feature set and capabilities.]]>May 3rd 2010 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/
Nothing is bland about Android OS on a super AAA hardware. There are a lot of Android options, oh well. That's good, not bad.]]>May 3rd 2010 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/
I think it's just you :D

Even so, you could always download a home replacement (home++ is one of my favs) or root your device, then theme it using Metamorph themes or custom roms/themes. Newer devices will have less options obviously (since they're new to the community), but devs are always working on new stuff. Android has a lot of customization options.

If you're talking about the actual hardware itself being bland, I guess you could wait out for the Motosplit :D]]>May 3rd 2010 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/I check it out this weekend too. I was blown away by it. It looked and felt slimmer than my 2g iphone, the screen was vibrant, and everything about the experience was snappy. No lag, no waiting. I even fired up skyfire and was able to watch flash videos online with it. If I wasn't waiting for the EVO, I would've bought it right then and there!]]>May 3rd 2010 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/May 3rd 2010 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/Ha! the two things iPhone OS currently can't do.

Well that's ok, I'm sure one of the 4,000 new Android phones released every month will remedy that.

To answer your question.  I understand that it is Android 2.1.  How long must you wait for LG to push out an update?  Please don’t get me wrong,  I love the idea of Android!!!  You have an open canvas, and each manufacture is tailoring it to their liking.  However, I would rather have the updates when they are released like the N1(not having to wait weeks or months).  There seems to be a new Android handset released every day.  I like seeing the current\future handsets in all sorts of flavors.  One question, “How long will the mfg support a Android handset?”  Say this new LG Ally is a major flop (not harping on LG)!!  Is there a guarantee that LG continue to push updates for a given number of months or years?  As of right now there is a risk in buying an Android device.]]>May 3rd 2010 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/May 3rd 2010 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/TheGM, Foolish me your right!!! It ships with Android 2.1, I must have forgotten that 2.1 is FINAL and ONLY release of Android. There will be no more updates the Android OS. There are no more worries of fragmentation, or mfg support of the device. ]]>May 3rd 2010 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/

The droid keyboard has never been a comfortable keyboard in general, but it is still very functional. This keyboard on the LG may be much better. But having the droid flipped upside down doesn't bother me or how I play games. I beat both mario 3 and mario world playing like this with very little comfort issues.]]>May 3rd 2010 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/May 3rd 2010 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/May 3rd 2010 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/I hear that]]>May 3rd 2010 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/agreed!]]>May 3rd 2010 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/+1]]>May 3rd 2010 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/May 3rd 2010 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/lg-confirms-android-powered-ally-coming-may-20th/
