Yes, of course, why would I even be on Engadget if I didn't think that.
For those that just want a phone, buy a phone, but if you want something that does more then I see no reason to buy something that isn't cutting edge, as long as it is affordable.]]>May 11th 2010 10:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/lg-ally-works-its-iron-man-cred-leaves-a-few-loose-ends-to-tie/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/lg-ally-works-its-iron-man-cred-leaves-a-few-loose-ends-to-tie/May 11th 2010 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/lg-ally-works-its-iron-man-cred-leaves-a-few-loose-ends-to-tie/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/lg-ally-works-its-iron-man-cred-leaves-a-few-loose-ends-to-tie/

Droid 2 is the next Moto slider]]>May 11th 2010 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/lg-ally-works-its-iron-man-cred-leaves-a-few-loose-ends-to-tie/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/lg-ally-works-its-iron-man-cred-leaves-a-few-loose-ends-to-tie/
Honestly in America if you are getting a smartphone and aren't getting the best one available you are getting ripped off.

With most U.S. carriers if you're getting a smartphone they make you get a full smartphone data plan. Even if you buy the phone off contract. So besides easily switching from carrier to carrier, traveling overseas, and just not wanting to get stuck in a contract you have to pay, there is no reason to not go on contract and get the phone subsidized. The price advantage is gone. Also subsidized smartphone prices have standardized to be about $99-$300 with only extreme standouts like the best iPhone going for $300. Most are $200 or less. This phone will not debut for less than $99. I can guarantee that. And you can get blockbuster,best in class phones for $99 to $150 if you go through places like Best Buy.

So why settle if you're going in under contract? And if you're not going in under contract I would consider it because it is no longer cheaper to go unsubsidized with an unlocked phone.

Not every Android phone has to be AAA.

There will be plenty of low, mid and high end Android phones. That's the whole point. Not all of them are meant to take our breath away and dethrone the Evo 4G. This, along with the Droid and myTouch Slide, are the minority for hardware keyboards. Since when does more options hurt?
