Verizon LG Ally site runs with limited information
Finally LG Ally revealed in site, but details are not exposed in there. Since LG is not heavily pushing the specs, this leads us to believe earlier rumor that the LG Ally is a mid-range Android phone.
LG Ally will feature Android 2.1, have a 3.2 inch touchscreen, and include a 3.2 megapixel camera. Even though the specs are average, we are curious about the renders which clearly show the new 3D launcher. The new launcher was said to require a faster processor, so we will have to wait and see what the Ally has under the hood.
There is no certain carrier, but it is spotted the Ally with the Verizon logo on LG’s site.
The FCC revealed with Samsung Moment 2
This week the FCC revealed a new Samsung phone with the model number SPH-M910. There is a rumor that this is the same device as the Sprint Moment 2 which leaked earlier this month. It also rumoring that the model number M910 follows that of original Samsung Moment (M900), the M910 was already spotted in a leaked 2010 Sprint roadmap, and the shape of the phone pictured in the FCC documents matches the earlier leaked pics.
Moment 2 is not much differ from its ancestor except model number and shape. The original Sprint Moment was Samsung’s best selling Android phone in the U.S. and users love keyboards, so it makes sense a follow-up is being planned. Rumors suggest the device will feature Android 2.x and Samsung’s latest TouchWiz 3.0 that we have seen on the Samsung Galaxy S.
4G feature may be added to the new model as Sprint has also long been rumored to be working on a 4G device with Samsung

“Old is gold” it is true for old Android
Google going to leake their hot Android 2.2, but Android 1.5 is still the most widely used firmware version for devices that access the Android Market. Google’s latest platform version breakdown comes only weeks after the latest report which was their first since the Droid received Android 2.1.
The newest firmware Android 2.1 jumps up to 32.4% of devices, while Android 1.6 dropped to 29.4%, and Android 1.5 was down to 37.2%. Even though Android 2.1 might not be the leader, it was the only version to increase while the others fell.
This report should look drastically different next month as many first generation phones upgrade to Android 2.1. It looks like Android 2.2 will be coming as well, so we might return to four major versions for a period of time.
