We were checking our release date calendar for
May and
June
already and realized that the Iron Man2 Android 2.1 smartphone the
LG Ally was supposed to go on sale today. We checked on the Verizon website and with our local store and the
LG Ally is still showing pre-order. It looks like the demand for Android smartphones at Verizon is slowing down the sale process.
The
Droid Incredible was selling out almost on the first day of sale. Then
Lowell McAdam reported that there was a shortage of parts for the Droid Incredible which would have out-sold the Droid if not for the shortage.
Brenda Raney spokeswoman for Verizon just informed us via email, that, Date of the LG Ally was moved to 5/27. Customers can order from any store or online.
The fun part of the LG Ally is all the Iron Man 2 freebies such as the comic books and virtual reality apps.
The LG Ally has a silver-and-black outer case
with 3.2" touchscreen (with tactile vibration) and slide-out QWERTY
