Full LG Ally Specs Released

[danDroid]

BGR is first to release the complete specs of Verizon's newest Android phone expected to hit stores May 20th. The Ally looks to be a mid-range contender with the Motorola Devour and HTC Eris but with some features that should put it on top. The phone will launch with Android 2.1, 600 MHz Processor, 3.2" TFT display, 3.2mp auto focus camera and a slide out full qwerty keyboard. Pricing has yet to be announced, but we would guess to see it in the $99-$149 range with a new contract. There has also been no mention of whether Verizon will include this in their Droid lineup as the Droid Ally or let it stand alone. Pre-orders are scheduled to begin May 13th, so stay tuned for more information!

That thing looks like a BB Storm with a physical keyboard.

Why does everyone compare it to the Eris/Devour and consider it low end?

• MSM7627, 600MHz processor
• Memory: ROM 512MB, RAM 256MB
• 3.2″ Touch Screen, 800 x 480 Pixels, 262K Color TFT
• 3.2 Megapixel with Autofocus and Flash; Dedicated Camera/Video Key
• Android 2.1 OS; Google Experience Device

This thing is seriously closer to the Droid than it is the two "baby" Androids. The ROM/RAM is the same as the Droid, the processor is 50mhz faster (comparing stock!), the camera has a flash, and it ships with 2.1 and no BLUR or Sense.

Given it probably isn't as heavy duty and doesn't have a second graphics chip like the Droid, I still think it is closer to a Droid specs-wise than it is to a Devour or Eris.

I can definitely say I'm jealous of that keyboard. At least from the looks of it, who knows how it will feel in person though.

i'm assuming this to be the entry Android phone for LG in the US... although it may be "closer" to the Moto Droid in terms of the cpu and the "google experience", its specs are outdated and certainly not cutting-edge.

i think LG dropped the ball with this one... the design itself is okay, but the internals fail to impress...

Because it is identical to the Devour as far as processor AND memory. Same processor, same ROM, same RAM. Damned near an identical phone except for the camera flash. Hell the Devour has a bigger screen.

Hmmmm.... wonder if my oldest daughter wants to dump her Storm for this? Based on the specs it's like an Eris on steroids.
