Well, as usual, once you&#8217;re willing to let words like that slip out of your mouth, you better be ready to eat them.&nbsp; <em>AndroidandMe<\/em> is now reporting that the phone once rumored to be the LG Aloha is now being called the Ally and might be making its way to Verizon this coming May.<\/p>\n<p>The Ally&#8217;s specs look to be a compilation of the reported features for the Aloha&#8217;s various rumored model numbers (C710, LG VS740, LU2300).&nbsp; Strangely enough, when the LG VS740 popped up in Verizon&#8217;s system two weeks ago as the third potential model number for the Aloha, we put a list together of the specs for all the devices just for fun.&nbsp; But now it appears we may not have been far off.&nbsp; Here are the rumored specs for the LG Ally:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3.5-inch AMOLED 800&times;480 touchscreen<\/li>\n<li>65,000 color display<\/li>\n<li>Wi-Fi 802.11b\/g\/n<\/li>\n<li>Android 2.1<\/li>\n<li>1 GHz Snapdragon processor<\/li>\n<li>Sliding 4-row QWERTY keyboard<\/li>\n<li>5.0-megapixel camera<\/li>\n<li>720p HD DivX compatible playback<\/li>\n<li>Wi-Fi, GPS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the rumors of the Ally coming to Verizon in May are accurate, Big Red will have a veritable monopoly on powerful Android smartphones.&nbsp; The crazy thing is that tomorrow is May, so I imagine VZW wouldn&#8217;t launch the device until at least the end of the month, since there&#8217;s no way they&#8217;d take all the attention away from the most sought after Android device to date (HTC DROID Incredible), not this early.<\/p>\n<p>Any VZW QWERTY-slider takers?&nbsp;
