    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 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.

    Review Summary: The LG Glimmer is pretty, but it has a frustrating keypad and touch screen. Whether you're a fan or not will come down to whether or not you find the phone usable.

    Review Summary: LG has crafted a classy Saturday night phone with a touch screen interface. The Glimmer succeeds at being above average--but not superlative--at most tasks.
