Brand new here, could use some thoughts.
I've been debating getting an LG Ally for months. This would be my first smartphone. I think it looks like it has the perfect keyboard, and I like the smaller size -- basically looks like what I'm looking for except that it's slower than the newer phones. I'm debating holding out for the HTC Merge, which apparently would be faster but doesn't have a number row on the keyboard ... but it's not even certain that Verizon is getting it. I've been out of contract for six months and my old LG Decoy doesn't even ring anymore. (OK, so that's another hesitation with getting an LG.) Would you go ahead and get the Ally this late in the game? Or wait some more?
I'm even considering buying one used on eBay so I don't have to use my upgrade credit now and can use it when something newer comes out. Does that make sense? I'd be paying out of pocket for something I could get free, to have the option of a lower price on something in the future.
