Usually there is a lot of testing by of the manufacturer and the carrier before updating a phone. Plus I don't think LG has ever even done an Android update for any of their other Android phones (at least over in the UK).]]>May 22nd 2010 4:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/May 22nd 2010 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/May 22nd 2010 1:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/May 22nd 2010 1:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/May 22nd 2010 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/

A usable keyboard.
All I ask for is a new phone with the power of the Incredible or EVO, but with a keyboard as nice as this Ally.

(and before you even bother, the Droid's keyboard is worthless)]]>May 22nd 2010 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/
The droids keyboard is great.
It makes no sense to me why people hate it.

Sure it's flat but it's still good. ]]>May 23rd 2010 12:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/May 22nd 2010 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/May 22nd 2010 2:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/May 22nd 2010 3:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/

The reviews for this phone have ranged from OK-to-lackluster, and while the hardware might be 1/2 a step behind the fastest hardware, many of us might still be willing to give up some speed for the luxury of a good keyboard.

If only some phonemaker - I'm looking at you HTC - would figure out that a fast phone with a good keyboard would sell like hotcakes.]]>May 22nd 2010 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/May 22nd 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/

I think you are reading a little too much into it. I don't think it's some kind of "conspiracy", but lack of knowledge and understanding of the market/demographic/user-base.

There is no such thing as a "perfect" phone because what is supposedly perfect today is outdated next week. Look at something like the EVO.... today it's the King of the Androids, but give it 6 or 12 months and it's going to be considered mid-range (or even low-end). That's already happening with the N1. There is absolutely no fear that a high-powered phone with a good keyboard will stop future sales because there will always be new features added to upcoming phones. ]]>May 22nd 2010 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/May 22nd 2010 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/Hoping for 2.2 on this thing is stupid, because N1 users haven't all gotten it yet, and they will be the first ones.]]>May 22nd 2010 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/May 22nd 2010 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/lg-ally-release-pushed-back-a-week-for-reasons-unknown/May 22nd 2010 1:01PM
