So is the ally going to start shipping today may 20th or will it be delayed like the incredible   and play the waiting game?  I preordered on may 14th. 

 

I saw on ebay today where they were showing preorders already for june 3!

 

Can anyone let me know what's going on with the ally?  The suspense of waiting is killing me

I have a feeling that there will be a wait list indeed.

well reviews of the phone didnt hit the net til like the 15th so hopefully i beat the rush.

 

my order status this morning still says we are awaiting phone availibilty, sad thing is my accessories will be arriving today  before my new phone!   

 

 

i think you may be right about that waiting list since there the price point on the phone at full retail is dirt cheap at 369.99 for a slider android phone

LG isnt being sued by Apple, probably doesnt use Samsung LCDs,  the floods in TN should be subsiding, first run orders shouldnt hit over 100k, and... let me see, did I miss any other excuses? ...Dont think so.

 

Yep, you should be good to go, I would order one. Good luck. However you may want to offer up something to the vaporware gods, you know, just in case......

I just got an e-mail stating that the pre-order period has been extended to the 26th, so I will receive on the 27th or later. A whole week (or more if more delays occur) that I have to wait for my phone :smileysad:.

Oh yeah I forgot about Apple trying to sue HTC. That's why there is a delay?

That was one of the excuses offered by VZW.  I believe its the critical shortage of LEDS more than anything. ( I provided a link to an online article exposing the shortage in a previous post,  its still up)

 

Then again, it could be that someone at VZW really did tick off the vaporware gods.....stay tuned.
