Funny story... I left Sprint to get the iPhone 4 thru AT$T... that sucked so I sold the phone and cancelled my contract. I have to pay an ETF but the money from the sale of the iPhone should cover it. So then I went on my sister's Verizon family plan and was pleasantly surprised to see this decent phone LG Ally free through BestBuy. So I signed up and used the LG Ally for about 1 week. Then I rooted it and put Trident's amazing V2 on it... it's a completely different phone. But I kept feeling like I didn't want a last gen phone so I exchanged it after 3 weeks for the Motorola Droid 2.
I was so disappointed in the Droid 2 that I returned it after 4 days and got a new Ally. I had to pay $50 this time as the phone is no longer free, so I'm pissed at myself for doing that but I've already flashed my previous backup of V2 to it and I am much happier with this phone. The D2's keyboard is really bad, not to mention the major E-Mail oversight that won't allow Simple Password Authentication with private E-Mail (Not Gmail). And you don't realize how much you rely on the status light until it's gone / mono. The LG's light changes color dependent on what alert you have waiting. It's actually very useful once I got used to it.
Anyways, Thanks to Trident for making this phone much better and I'm shocked at Motorola for making such a low par device. It's good, not $200 good... Ally is great for free (or $50 if you're stuck like I was)
