The full specifications for LG's first Android phone, the Ally, have leaked, and it appears to be headed to Verizon Wireless. This middling Android handset boasts a decent screen and plenty of radios, but the camera is a meager 3.2-megapixel shooter.Any Android handset debuting over at Verizon Wireless has its work cut out for it. Why? Because HTC's Droid Incredible reigns supreme over there with a commanding spec list and overall awesomeness. LG's first stab at an Android phone looks to be decent, though not an Incredible-killer.
According to leaked documents, the device will be available for pre-order starting May 13, and it will be available in Verizon Wireless retail shops by May 20. The stand-out features include the Android 2.1 operating system, an 800 x 480 pixel touch screen, and a fill slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Here are the rest of the specs.

Based on this spec list, it is on-par with the Motorola Droid. I am disappointed that the camera is only 3.2 megapixels. Bumping the camera up to 5 megapixels would give the Ally much better curb appeal if you ask me. The device was featured in the movie Iron Man, and will also be pre-loaded with a number of augmented reality applications. Pricing for the phone hasn't been disclosed.
