Verizon Wireless and LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A. have launched the first U.S.-destined Android smartphone from LG, previously promoted with the movie & Iron Man 2.& The mid-range LG Ally offers a 3.2-inch touchscreen, slider QWERTY keyboard, 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, S-GPS, and a 3.2-megapixel camera, says Verizon.

Earlier this month, the LG Ally was briefly previewed in a marketing campaign with Marvel Studios for its movie “Iron Man 2,” although the carrier was not identified at that time. The marketing campaign promoted the fact that Ally users can download an exclusive Android 2.1 augmented reality app featured in the film. (See link at end of the story for the promo and interactive Flash application.)

Today, Verizon Wireless announced that the Ally is available for pre-order tomorrow, and will ship starting May 20. For now, LG and Verizon have left major holes in their published feature list, although several mobile phone sites, including PhoneArena have already posted much more complete “leaked” specs.
