lg ally

Well, I upgraded from a lg 8350 to the ally. It seems like a wonderful gadget. Nice heavy solid feel to it. All kinds of capabilities. Well, after the "aw-sum-ness" of it all got worn down a little I'm left wondering why anybody would really want a "smart" phone. It has widgets and gadgets galore. You can run all kinds of apps. It has the internet, GPS, Facebook, youtube. It can be your camera, video recorder, flashlight, music player, tv, calculator, calender, agenda, newspaper, weather forcaster ... ah, the list just goes on forever. One small drawback however. If you use all these wonderous things your battery will not last very long at all. It has a big battery that takes hours to charge. With all the gadgetry running at the same time it will run your battery dry in less than half an hour. So it doesn't take you long to learn that you have to keep all this extra stuff turned off unless you are actually using it. So now we're back to just a phone. Compared to the 8350 the ally is not very impressive as a phone. The ringer is not loud enough. The speaker phone is not very loud and not very easy to understand. The regular speaker is not loud enough and when you press the phone to your ear for a long time trying to hear and understand the person on the other end your ear will start to hurt. The 8350 beats the ally hands down as a phone. So I tried plugging a head set into the ally and listening to my music. The volume was so low I couldn't even hear the bass. The 8350 beats the ally as a music player. I tried the internet. Well, the page loads just fine, but it's so tiny on that little screen that the only way you can read it is to expand it. Then you have to move it back and forth trying to read the whole sentence. No, I'm sorry, the big screen on my home pc beats the ally for internet browsing hands down. Actually, many of the things you can do on the ally you can do on the 8350 as well. If you just love playing with fancy gadgets and having a phone that looks cool, the ally is for you. If you want something practical and usefull just get a phone. Make me an offer on my ally. I'm ready to park it back in it's box, turn off all this unlimited data nonsense and go back to the 8350.
