LG

Well I got my 3rd Ally yesterday. I have to say this one is a lot better than the previous 2. Much faster more responsive and it gives me a better experience than before. The battery life still sucks but I know thats an Android 2.1 thing. I really dont have much to compare this new phone to but I have to say this is a great little phone for the money. I just hate I had the problems out of the first 2 as I bout gave up on Android. Anyway in conclusion the Ally is a great phone once you get a working unit.

Let me know how this one does.

So far so good. Im really enjoying this phone now. The only problem so far and its really not a problem just an annoyance is I have to keep killing apps when I notice the phone getting sluggish.

If you do a little research you will find that you don't need a Task Killer app. When the avail RAM gets low the Android OS will auto kill unused apps and processes until it has the RAM it needs. Linux has much better memory management than Windows does. Task killers can actually cause slowing since apps use services from the phone and other apps. If you've killed that service then the OS has to reload that service and the app you are opening. This causes slowing and worse kills the battery faster.

Good advice.

Well I'm sorry to report that I replaced the Ally with the original Droid. I took a trip this past weekend and the phone rebooted at least 8 times over a 3 day time frame. And when I would charge the phone it would over heat and have a ? over the battery symbol and on the lock screen it says to connect the charger. I was on my 3rd phone so I deemed it an unacceptable phone and had to make a decision before the 30 day plus 2 week warranty. I hope you guys do get the 2.2 update and I hope it fixes the phone. I do miss the keyboard and the form factor but a more stable phone was needed.

Well unfortunately this is NOT for the Ally because I went there and it says update not available.  the LGVS750 is the Fathom.
