LG Glimmer Reviews
CNET reviews the LG Glimmer and writes, "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 (1,600x1,200; 1,280x960; 640x480; 320x240), and you can choose from three quality settings. Other features include a night mode, a self-timer, five color effects, an adjustable brightness and white balance setting, multishot, and shutter sounds. Photo quality was very good--images appeared sharp, with good lighting and accurate colors. They still appeared slightly hazy and smudgy, but it wasn't that bad. It suffered a little bit under low-light conditions, but the flash helped to make things brighter. There's also a built-in video recorder that shoots clips in two resolutions (320x240 and 176x144) and three quality settings. Record time varies from 15 seconds (which is typical for multimedia messages) to an hour, or as memory allows. Other settings include brightness, white balance, color effects, and cue sounds."
ComputerWorld reviews the LG Glimmer and writes, "The rest of the Glimmer's features are more impressive. It supports Bluetooth 2.0 and the high-speed EVDO network (though the Glimmer's Web browser itself is limited). The phone also includes GPS, but you'll need a $10-per-month subscription to one of Alltel's navigation services to take full advantage of it. The media player supports MP3, WMA and AAC files, and the 2-megapixel camera takes very good snapshots."
