It also acts as the camera viewfinder. You can adjust the backlighting time, as well as the font size for the browser and the notepad. Like the Prada, the entire phone's navigation is done via the touch screen.
On the landing page, there are four icons along the bottom. From left to right, these icons access the main menu, activate the phone function, open the messaging menu, and open the contacts list. When the phone is closed, the phone function activates an onscreen dialpad; when the phone is open, it brings up a list of phone number shortcuts from Recent Calls, Speed Dial, Message In-box, and the Contacts list. Along with the four icons is a small arrow icon on the left.
This arrow leads directly to a customizable shortcuts menu--we suggest using it for frequently used applications such as the browser or the calendar. Using the touch screen is quite intuitive, and involves simple tapping and scrolling.
A slightly firm touch is required, plus there's a bit of a vibrating feedback when something is selected, which we like quite a bit. If you're having trouble with the sensitivity of the touch controls, you can reset the touch calibration in the Settings menu.
On select menu options, there's a right-hand scroll bar that we can swipe up and down to scroll through the page. We didn't like this too much, though, as the scroll bar is pretty skinny, and it takes a bit of maneuvering to avoid selecting an option by mistake.
The Web browser has onscreen arrow keys on the bottom to assist in scrolling, which we would've liked to have seen in all the applications. Along with using the slider keypad to text, you can also choose to text via the touch screen. It supports T9, so we're able to tap out words and phrases using the onscreen dialpad without a problem. We did wish there was a virtual QWERTY keyboard of some kind, though, as that would've made it easier to tap out messages.
Also, we wish there was a way to switch the screen orientation from portrait to landscape mode. Rounding out the exterior of the phone is a Hold button on the left spine, while the right spine is home to a dedicated camera key, a volume rocker, a charger jack, and a headset jack.
The microSD card slot is inconveniently located behind the battery cover. On the back of the phone is a camera lens with a flash and self-portrait mirror.
Slide the phone open and you'll find a slim keypad similar to that from the LG Shine as well as the Motorola Razr. Like most slider keypads, the keys are pretty flush to the surface, but thankfully LG had the forethought to have raised bumps in between each key.
Though we still wouldn't recommend dialing by feel, the raised keys do make it easier to dial and text. So why would one want a slider keypad if you could already dial and text via the phone's touch screen? The answer is simple: convenience. Not everyone likes using a touch screen to dial and type out messages, and for those people, the ease of using mechanical keys via the keypad is a huge boon.
For that alone, we think the Glimmer stands out from most touch-screen phones out there. Features Sure the design of the Glimmer is its star attraction, but its features aren't too shabby either. Featuring high-end multimedia capabilities as well as Alltel's broadband services, the Glimmer is a far cry from all style and no substance.
Starting off with the basics, the Glimmer supports a healthy 1,entry contacts list, with room in each entry for five phone numbers, an e-mail address, a home page address, and notes.
You can also assign each caller to a group, a photo for caller ID, plus one of 33 polyphonic ringtones. Other basics include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, an alarm clock, a calendar, a world clock, a tip calculator, a calculator, a notepad, and a unit converter. The Glimmer also has built-in GPS navigation. One of the defining features of the Glimmer is its EV-DO support and therefore access to Alltel's stable of broadband services. As for audio, you can opt for Axcess Radio, which streams live music, or if you have an existing XM account, there's also a XM Radio Mobile application you can download.
The one downside to the Web experience, however, is the Glimmer's dialed-down Web browser. Though this is common in most cell phones, we were expecting a little more from the Glimmer because of its large touch-screen display and EV-DO support that would be conducive to a better browsing experience. You can sort your music with playlists, as well as the typical album, artist, and genre categories. There's also a repeat and shuffle mode.
The Glimmer comes with MB of internal memory, which is alright for a short list of songs, but you should consider getting a microSD card for additional storage. We really like the Glimmer's camera. Not only is it a 2-megapixel camera with a variety of settings and options, but it also has a really nice user interface, all managed via the touch screen. You get a choice of four resolutions 1,x1,; 1,x; x; x , and you can choose from three quality settings.
