I want an EVO with a qwerty keyboard...]]>May 17th 2010 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/
Dude what's not to get! Evo has Snapdragon, more ROM/RAM, a bigger screen, front-facing camera...it's definitely a step up from the Droid.]]>May 17th 2010 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/
I own a Milestone (Droid) and I love it...but I was looking for something a bit more "punch" to it...that is also a slider...]]>May 17th 2010 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/
Yup, it is disappointing. I really wanted to recommend this phone to a friend if it held up in the review, but I/we will keep looking.]]>May 17th 2010 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/
OK...WTF? How many Droid users out of the 2-3 million owners do you think have rooted their devices and overclocked theirs? It is slightly risky, and many people don't see the benefit in it...

To add insult to injury, my Milestone is bootloader is signed, hardware locked, it is unrootable...and all of us Milestone users are stuck with the stock 550Mhz...Don't tell me there is no difference between Droid and Nexus One or EVO...There is a six/nine months difference in technology, and that is a whole generation of difference...]]>May 17th 2010 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/The Milestone's bootloader is locked but it still is rootable. You can not overclock it or flash unofficial ROMs, but you are able to install programs which require root access like WiFi tethering.]]>May 17th 2010 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/
It was to be expected, when was the last time LG ever made a desirable smart phone?]]>May 17th 2010 7:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/I saw the writing on the wall last week when I read that the Ally likely wouldn't handle flash and just went ahead and got the Moto Droid. I couldn't be happier, and this article confirms I made the right choice. Actually, with BOGO and two new contracts (switched from ATT), both I and my wife got a Droid for only $200! That's hard to beat and totally worth it. I was worried about how she would take it, as she uses a macbook for her main computer, but she has taken to the Droid and Android OS really well.]]>May 17th 2010 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 18th 2010 6:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://j.mp/ally-phone-from-lg]]>May 19th 2010 3:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/Jun 5th 2010 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/

+1

Maybe Sprint's excellent plans will start to be noticed and VZW's and AT&T's will be shown for what they really are: insanely expensive over the course of two years. The initial price of the phone is just a drop in the bucket before monthly bills start adding up along with any overage charges, taxes, fees, etc. ]]>May 17th 2010 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/The Droid, like the Ally, has a graphics chip, which lightens the load and makes it just as fast as the Nexus One, etc. And you can overclock it to 1.2 GHz!]]>May 17th 2010 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/Yeah, I would probably go that route too... the only reason I could think not to would be that this keyboard looks more usable. I tried using droid's keyboard for a while and basically ruled it out for that reason.]]>May 17th 2010 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/Anyway, Android is NOT JUST FOR GEEKS(aka, people like us who appreciate gadgets). YES, Engadget readers like high end phones. YES, we think all Android Phones should be that way, bigger and badder than the last. BUT IT'S NOT RIGHT. I mean, the world is not like us. They may not need all those features, let alone pay for it. This is a good handset for the average user. I would buy it, were I not locked in for another year.]]>May 17th 2010 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/Just because we "geeks" like high end hardware doesn't mean we don't appreciate the quality as well. Also, why would you buy a phone that does the same things worse and slower than another phone with roughly the same specs at the same price? The Droid and Ally have the nearly the same functions, and almost the same hardware, so your "may not need all those features" point is entirely moot.

Picking the better product here is a matter of common sense, not some sort of gadget lust we have.]]>May 17th 2010 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 18th 2010 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/
Oh, and please stop encouraging HTC's "chin" phones. The are far from "drop dead sexy".]]>May 17th 2010 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/
I'll disagree as well. The chin adds charachter. As long as the phone's chin doesn't get in the way (and it shouldn't since most android phones have some space below the screen for the home, back, and menu buttons) I'll encourage the chin every day.]]>May 17th 2010 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/+1 on the review. i will keep coming back for these]]>May 17th 2010 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/...if u r too stupid to improve the UI of ur OS, just use a ton of buttons! yeah!]]>May 17th 2010 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/
WWDC - JUNE 7TH - SOLVE ALL YOUR SMARTPHONE PROBLEMS]]>May 17th 2010 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/
I am not sure my "smartphone problems" will be solved with a 3.5inch screen, 256mb of ram, and a "walled garden" app ecosystem. Also, Rogers in Canada, and I'm sure AT&T in US, do not provide a very reliable 3G network...Telus does though, and their 21Mbps is quite nice...]]>May 17th 2010 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/Ditto with my unlocked nokia phone and a $10/m internet plan through t-mobile. $20/m extra for data equals $480 over two years. I'd rather have an Android phone, but not at that price - especially when the on contract price of the phone would cost me almost as much as my s60 phone unlocked.]]>May 17th 2010 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/lg-ally-review/May 17th 2010 3:48PM
