Frankly, we came away feeling like LG half-assed this phone at a time when it could've swooped in and established itself in the thick, meaty midsection of Verizon's smartphone lineup. The customizations feel as though they went through barely any quality control, the phone's slower...

The LG Ally has turned out to be an okay phone! Although when it was first purchased it, it was a challenge to operate. Definitely not a tech toy to learn while driving, so absolutely start voice command function as soon as it's activated, as that will save on a lot of Aspirin and possibly...
