The images of Glimmer's press release look pretty legit (links below), and the phone itself looks pretty sweet.  A 2.8" touch screen with haptic feedback, music player with stereo Bluetooth support and microSD memory card slot, two megapixel shooter with flash, and EVDO data access with Web and YouTube browsers all add up to a pretty nice looking piece of kit.

And several references to Alltel service scattered about the spec sheet mean this could be a rare coup for the carrier ... and a pretty sexy one at that.
