It's an alright phone. It has it's goods and bads, of course it also depends on your carrier. Good: -Nice design. -Easy to use. -Bluetooth Support. -Small and Compact. -Heat sensible main buttons. -Battery life pretty good. -Supports many features. Bad: -Speakers are very low, sound is much lower then most phones. -In winter it's hard to press the heat sensible buttons. -Limited computer connection. -No WiFi support. -No MicroSD support. So basically, if you're buying this phone for talking and texting then it's a great choice, however, if you wish to use its other features, it's not that easy. It's internal memory is limited to around 100MB which now it's almost nothing. The only files you can transfer to and from your phone are .mp3 files. You cannot transfer games or other files. Also, I'm using Bell and they limit Bluetooth very much. You cannot transfer music files, images, or other files through Bluetooth. The only real use for it would be to use for headsets but I have never tried it. Be careful with the default shortcuts. Because its head sensible, you may turn on the internet by accident while its in your pocket. This may cause you some high fees at the end of the month.Read full review
Like: Android OS with full QWERTY keyboard. Touchscreen front with convenience of keyboard for typing. Awesome free apps in Android Market. Size is good (not too big/heavy). Solid phone (doesn't feel like if I were to drop it once it would break) and I love having a few physical keys on the front (it's not all touchscreen). Dislike: Phone is somewhat slow (it takes a while to switch apps, for example). Opening camera is slow, so if you are someone who takes a lot of photos and wants the camera to open up super-fast to be ready for a photo any time, I would suggest spending more for a newer/faster phone. Also, I switched from a Blackberry where I had 6 different email accounts... and on Android the email is WAY different. I was able to get used to it pretty fast, but it was a big adjustment, so be prepared. Overall, I do really like the Ally and would recommend it!!Read full review
I have had this phone for six monthes now and have had the time to learn all of it's quarkes. First off let me start by saying I love this phones sleek styling and all of it's great features. I love Haveing music at my fingertips wherever I go and I love the Micro SD expansion port to hold more songs. I also love the ability to adjust the key control sensitivity so people with colder fingers (like me) can still use the phone. However recently I've begune having a few problems. My phone sometimes will just randomly dial somone off of my saved Numbers list for no reason. I have woken up at 3am several times to one of my friends cursing me out over the phone laying on my side table. Verison told me the phone just needed a software update and it spent an hour being downloaded and then it happened again two nights ago... also the screen scratches very easily and you have to constantly clean the phone as every finger print stands out and looks awful on such a beautiful phone... over all I like the phone and will probably replace it with anouther of the same phone and hope for the best... also verisons representatives and phone people suckRead full review
I got this phone because of the music capability. What better than to have your music with you without having to carry an extra piece of equipment. Considering that you have to carry your cell phone anyway, this is a great feature. It is a little difficult getting used to the touch pad because my last phone had the typical buttons that you mash down with full force, but after I changed the setting on the pad to low sensitivity I was ready to go. Memory on the phone itself is only about 64MB (8-10 full length songs), so if you plan on bringing a lot of music with you, you had better plan on investing in a SD memory card for the phone. I purchased a 256MB card for $19.99 after discount and the phone now holds about 50 songs. Perfect without too much additional expense. Software can be downloaded from the Verizon website but you still have to purchase a special USB cable to download music to your phone from your computer. If you plan on buying your music from Verizon and downloading it over the air, you won't need the cable, but the songs are $1.99 each. I got a get connected pack for about $25.00 and it included the USB cable, software, and a headset. It would be nice if additional equipment needed were included, but the expense is horrible. The phone is Bluetooth capable, but I haven't used that feature so I can't comment on the quality of the feature. SOUND- With the headphones, the music quality is very good. As good as any portable CD player I ever used. The speaker does not produce good quality music. PROGRAMS - The phone has all the usual, useful things that people expect phone including calculator, calender, contact lists, txt & pix, VM. The mobile web is great, only costs $5.00 per month on my plan; well worth it. MP3 - As stated above, you really need to buy a mini SD memory card to make the phone work as a music player, but I see no need to buy a $100.00, 1GB memory card. Songs are easily erased, removed and added using the Music Monitor software. V-CAST - I have not used this feature because it doesn't really have anything that I would need. DISPLAY - The display screen is very nice. Vibrant colors and large fonts make the display easy to see. CAMERA - The phone has a 1.3 megapixel camera/video recorder. The camera and camcorder work great, producing good quality images. Memory is an issue here as with music due to the size of the files; if you use the "send" feature to forward pix or videos to email, you can keep memory free. BATTERY - Probably my biggest complaint is the battery. It doesn't hold a charge as long as most phones, but this is due to the fact that it is being used as a music player and a cell phone so it is "on" more than a regular cell phone. Plan on charging every day. The standard battery is 800mAh, but a 1200mAh battery can be bought. ****** Update ****** After using the phone for several months, I wanted to add some things. The phone doesn't take a beating; every phone gets dropped now & then but this one is not sturdy. It is sensitive to any outdoor factors, and the screen scratches easily. If I could do it all over, I would probably skip this and go with something a little more sturdy. This one would be fine for normal conditions, but I work outside and the phone tends to become a problem with heat, cold, light, moisture, dust, pollen or any other outdoor factor. A decent phone, but only for in a indoor environment. Don't bother if you are outside a lot.Read full review
This is an awesome little device. All the functions you need in a phone and mp3 player. Especially for the price, compared to owning both seperatley. Although, like usual, there are few features that could be tweaked. For instance; when you use random on the mp3, it doesn't do a great job of remembering which ones you've heard. Some days you'll never hear the same ones, some days you hear a couple of songs a couple of times. But you can always hit next so that's not a huge deal. When I first recieved the phone I was immediatley reminded of the RAZR with it's size and style. And it basically is the same only upgraded exterior and speedier interfacing. I am disappointed in the toughness of the phone. It is a little flimsy, and if you left it open and stepped or sat or whatever, you would probably break it. But that's what insurance is for! I am also pretty hard on phones so this may not apply to you. I decided to buy the LG Choco 3 because of its dual pupose and my active lifestyle. Very convienent and more affordable than buying a new phone and a new IPOD plus song prices.Read full review
