This is a great phone. It looks just like new. It has a lot of helpful apps and you can access the internet through Wi-Fi I wasn't expecting that. I love the sliding screen and awesome keyboard. YouTube videos look pretty good. Its a small phone with a lot of potential. Love it so far!

Unfortunately, times and technology change and because this is a older phone, it just isn't up to today's standards. Although it's an Android, I'm thinking it's one of the first generations so although you can access Google Play and all the aps, almost none of them are compatible with this phone which makes functionality tough. However, if you're OK with that, and can charge the phone every 2 hours or so, the call quality is good and I love the slide out qwerty keyboard.

This phone was a replacement for my Samsung Omnia Windows Mobile Phone. I was looking for a device that was more stable and had a keyboard. While it maybe a little slower then other Andriod phones, navigation between menus and screens are very easy. Ease of adding on widgets and short cuts are very nice. Since I had an account with Google and a Windows phone designed to sync information with the account, all I had to do is type in my username and password into my Android phone and all my contacts and calendar events were up and running in seconds. I also was able to find Widgets that matched the Today screen on my old Windows phone. The widgets are a lot easier to navigate without bumping the wrong thing on the screen. ThinkFree Office comes standard with the LG Ally, which was another selling point. It is a very stable Word & Excel viewer and editor. A couple things are minor dislikes. Built in memory is only about 100mb. However that can be resolved with a MicroSD card. Some of the navigation keys are a little too close on the slider keyboard, so it is easy to exit from what you were doing. Also, it seems certain phone setting are not available, for example, lock settings, or different sound profiles. I'm sure there is an app out there to fix that issue. The processor is only 600mhz, so if your looking for multimedia performance, then you might be disappointed. For me, it works GREAT for a work phone. There are a lot of organizing apps out there to match most the features I expect from a PDA/Smart Phone. I will never go back to a Windows phone again. LG makes a well rounded Android phone, and I hope they continue!Read full review
The reason I purchased this phone was because I had one and lost it. The phone I purchased is not the same quality as the first phone I had. Not sure if LG started to manufacture them differently, this one is just a lemon or if I just happened to purchase a knock off Lg phone. Battery life on initial phone was not great but lucky to get through a day with out phone battery dying now. If you use internet just plug it in because the battery will not stand up to internet use at all. Sometimes the screen will not conform from vertical to horizontal. A few times it has just frozen and I've had to take the battery out to reset. The charger I received with this phone was a joke. It lasted only 2 weeks before it died. Luckily I had the charger from the previous Ally I had and am currently using it. I love the larger screen and ease of the slide out texting keyboard. The way the buttons are raised and not totally flat help with quicker texting. I purchased a second LG Ally because I really liked the first one I had. Not sure why this one not up to par.Read full review
My wife wanted a slide-out keyboard. I would have liked a slightly smaller form-factor...but she keeps it in her purse, not pocket...so it isn't a big deal. Barely larger than her ENV3 it replaced. It DID run a little slow until I flashed Velocity 1.1 on it. Google it, it isn't that bad. -Rooted with super one click -Installed Clockwork Rom Manager -Flashed recovery -Put Velocity 1.1 on micro sd card (zip file) -Rebooted into recovery, cleared all user data + delvik cache -Flashed Velocity 1.1 ...this thing runs like a dream and the wifi seems to drain my battery way slower than my OG Droid. I did use the Velocity Toolkit to overclock a little (825mHz, from 600ish stock). Only con, can't seem to get Flash working on it. Still trying...has to do with the processor type (limitations), it seems. No huge deal, though.Read full review
