Reviews of the LG Glimmer

CNET Review
The Good: The LG Glimmer is a stylish phone with a really smart concept, combining a touch-screen display plus a slider keypad. It has excellent features, including GPS navigation, EV-DO support, and a 2-megapixel camera.
The Bad: The LG Glimmer offers a lackluster Web-browsing experience, and we thought the EV-DO connection could've been a lot smoother.
The Bottom Line: The LG Glimmer combines the glamour of a touch screen, the convenience of a slider keypad, plus high-end features to produce a top-notch phone for Alltel customers.
