well the LG ally is a smart phone so it has more features. and verizon no longer sells the samsung rogue. which is a good phone if you were buying from ebay or something. i had the samsung rogue and i loved it. but i upgraded to the droid 2 because i wanted a smart phone. but definitely go on verizon's (or any other company you were looking at) web site and read reviews about phones to see what you will be getting.
