The Ally runs Android 2.1, and has five customizable home screens. It supports microSD cards up to 16GB. Verizon Wireless said the Ally will be available for pre-order starting May 13, and will arrive in Verizon retail stores on May 20. It will cost $100 after mail-in rebate with new agreement.

ok here's the thing...

i will admit i dislike verizon from experience. however, i feel big red needs to dump LG because all their phones are junk. Had a quite a few models and they all failed over and over.
