Video: LG Glimmer touchscreen phone Alltel - Hands on at CTIA '08

Wednesday, May 07, 2008I've had my Glimmer for a few weeks now. It's amazing! My cousin it saying she's going to get a Venus because she thinks it will be cooler than mine... there's no way! The touch is wonderful, and there's no need for a stylus if you have thumbs! Overall it's an amazing phone! I just wish I could use my own ringtones... oh well! I still love it!

6/30/2008 2:57:05 PMThis phone is great, i traded this in for the razr 2, the touch screen works great and no prblems so far, unlike the razr2!! And you can change faceplates this phone is awesome!!

6/30/2008 2:06:09 PMto be truthful, i don't like this phone, my best friend wants it but its to ughh!!

6/28/2008 10:21:49 AMthe touch screen is great its very responsive i like it

6/28/2008 10:20:56 AMyou can use the keypad on the phone or you can use the screen its your choice

6/27/2008 7:41:23 AMdoes the touch screen suck like the glydes or is it good? cuz i like the glyde but the touch screen blows so....

6/26/2008 4:34:11 PMgood for u and i mean that litterally. its an awesome phone, i would get it but i dont have the cache so i got the scoop

6/25/2008 10:33:09 PMu can use the screen to text, but u can't have it as a qwerty keyboard i think. getting mine soon! cant wait

6/24/2008 11:41:29 PMhaha thnk u~

6/22/2008 7:32:25 PMI'll feel like a big shot?! Fuck, sign me up for one!

6/18/2008 7:50:51 PMlol i send at least 100 messages a day i don't call as much, but i don't find it hard at all to text with this phone.

6/18/2008 3:42:22 PMSo do you need to use the actual number pad for texting or does it have a touch screen keypad??

6/17/2008 10:20:41 PMyes no no lol

6/17/2008 10:20:02 PMGlimmer does offer internet.....its just not as good as a black berry or soemthing like that

6/13/2008 6:30:41 PMcan u set ur own homescreen?? n.. does this rly hav a bad bluetooth?? o.. and.. can u make ur downloaded song as ur own ringtone?

6/12/2008 3:12:23 AMThis phone is like the baby of a LG Vu and an LG Shine!

6/11/2008 5:32:20 PMcan u use it like the vu and have the full keypad option

6/11/2008 5:30:16 PMthats not alltels first touch screen

6/9/2008 1:45:49 PMIt is just Alltel. All phones are blocked from setting .mp3 files as ringtones to keep corrupted files off the phone and of course, to make money. There are workarounds though...

6/8/2008 12:24:43 PMI'm trying to decide if I want a Glimmer or an HTC Touch. Which is the best to use with bluetooth because that is a requirement? Also, if internet is a necessity, then Glimmer does not offer it, right?

6/5/2008 7:32:31 PMim on my phone all the time and i do text all the time if you stay active on the phone it doesnt lock but if you dont use it it locks...i dont see how it gets old.....

6/5/2008 3:32:01 PMyeah it gets oldd

6/5/2008 3:31:20 PMyou obviously dont text or use your phone alot for that manner.

6/3/2008 9:36:42 PMThis is the best phone I have ever had, and it is very much worth the money, I had the razr2 and had to get three in about 3-4 months, and no I never dropped it, now that phone is not worth the money its $200 and their is NOTHING special about it. For any one thinking about getting this phone it is very much worth it.

6/1/2008 1:19:22 PMo and the locking thing isnt that annoying....to me it isnt....it only locks when you dont touch the screen as in pressing buttons after a certian amount of time o and it also has a "hold" button on the top left hand corner of the phone to unlock the phone instead of always hitting the screen....its got great picture and video quailty it looks like its on an actual camera....
