LG Ally

The high-end LG Revolution is still a fresh face in Verizon’s lineup, but a couple of lower-end Android handsets from the manufacturer look to be making their exit from Big Red. You know the saying. Out with the old, in with the new. According to sources speaking with PhoneArena, VZW is clearing out stock on [...]

The LG Ally is about to receive an update to Android 2.2.2, according to a text message being sent to owners of the handset. While the update itself is mostly concerned with patching a few holes and squashing some bugs, the interesting thing to report is that in order to receive the update users will [...]

Just a friendly reminder that the rollout of Android 2.2 for the LG Ally has begun. The update not only includes the move to a new version of the Android OS, but also enhancements for screen rotation for app compatibility and more security options. The update is pushing over the air, so if you don’t [...]

“Your LG Ally Just Got Better,” says Verizon as they’re getting ready to push out a pretty tasty update for the LG Ally. Android 2.2 is on its way according to a leaked .PDF detailing the upgrade – one we expect to see on Verizon’s site soon enough. “VS740ZVD” is the name/number of this one, [...]

During what appears to have become “maintenance update” week in the Android world – with the Samsung EPIC 4G, Samsung Fascinate, Samsung Captivate, HTC Hero, HTC EVO 4G, and the Motorola DROID X all getting updates of some sort (Froyo or otherwise) – the LG Ally throws up its “me too” flag and will be [...]

Just as leaked documents suggested earlier in the week, Verizon has officially announced the arrival of pre-paid data plans for their 3G devices, including BlackBerry and Android smartphones. The new deal provides unlimited data at a contract-free rate of $30 per month. For feature phones they are also making available a $10/25 MB per month [...]

The LG Ally from Verizon has long been rooted, but a custom recovery – which is needed to flash custom unofficial ROMs – is now available via one of our code-toting members in the AndroidForums – drellisdee. While there are no ROMs to be had just yet, this should encourage the community to start cooking [...]

Fear not, LG Ally users: just because your device isn’t Verizon’s favorite doesn’t spell doom for your hopes on it receiving Android 2.2. To date, this is LG’s only major Android handset in the United States (if you’re speaking relatively) so it makes sense that they’d want to make a good first impression on us [...]

The LG Ally might be one of Verizon’s lesser-known phones at the moment, but it’s still a capable piece of hardware and there are people out there who love it. That being said, they’re set to receive some OTA love this weekend as Verizon’s rolling out an update to address several issues and provide some [...]

At long last, the LG Ally has been rooted. The device – which was released on Verizon late May – hasn’t had the most vocal fanbase (in terms of “power users”, anyway) but that doesn’t mean the development community isn’t there. After a shaky trial and error process, instructions are now up and you Ally [...]

If you pre-ordered the first LG Android to hit the United States or have been waiting patiently to head to your local VZW store and pick one up, today is your lucky day. The initial release was planned for last week but was then delayed when the phones didn’t show up. If you are considering [...]

In all of the excitement going on with Google I/O yesterday, we forgot to mention that the  LG Ally would be available in Verizon stores. Well, turns out we actually didn’t miss much because at least some of those who headed out to pick up the new Android handset from LG were met with disappointment. [...]

The LG Ally is by no means the Droid Incredible, but it is a solid phone from a great handset manufacturer that is sure to catch some attention from those who may be looking for a lower-priced phone. Verizon doesn’t want you to miss your chance to own one, and just like we thought, the [...]

While the LG Ally’s arrival wasn’t met with the loudest of fanfare, Verizon and LG are both pretty excited about the launch of LG’s first Android phone in the United States. MobileBurn got a review unit of the phone and they went in-depth with the phone’s unique features to give us an idea of what [...]

We heard that you’d be able to pre-order the LG Ally on May 13th, the other day, and LG and Verizon confirmed it at their event yesterday: you’ll be able to preorder the device for $99.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate (2-year contract required). The Ally will be available May 20th and ships with Android [...]

We knew Verizon will bring its 5th Android phone – the LG Ally – to consumers on May 20th, but we hadn’t heard of a pre-order date up until this point. A Verizon launch package for the LG Ally shows that we’ll be getting the chance to pre-order the device on May 13th, 2010. An [...]

Right as I was winding down for a relaxing weekend a leaked TV spot for the LG Ally hit the webz, showing off a pretty hefty promotional tie-in with the upcoming release of Iron Man 2. Today LG issued a press release giving us a few more details about the release schedule and functions of [...]

An LG tie-in with the upcoming Iron Man 2 leaked today, and it gives us our first official look at the phone that will undoubtedly be coming very, very soon: what was once known as the LG Aloha, and since has been dubbed the LG Ally. Aside from just the name change, it is looking [...]
