  • You know a phones terrible when you have to use a stylus or pen cap.

  • I had this phone 3-4 years ago and I have an HTC Thunderbolt now. WOW phones have changed ALOT.

  • sounds like this guy is reading everything hes saying. i cant watch this shitt for 7min

  • i have had this phone for three years and it is one of the best phone i have ever had

    the touch screen is wonderfull and is very easy to use

    the pictures look amazing and i just love this phone

  • I'm trying to remember the name of my phone.

    I think it was the LG glimmer, but I noticed that the back button on my phone is just an arrow, not the word Back. But otherwise it looks absolutely identical. AHH I can't figure out what my phone is! It's from Bell, with a 2mp camera..everything same.

  • @goldenniche I figured it out. Its vantage! yay!!!

  • Comment removed

  • what LG penis?

  • I had this phone for a month with U.S. Cellular before they were screwing us over. I am a Droid owner now and would get this phone for cheap if I could. LG old school experiences just own. I already miss this phone.

  • do the phone come with a stylist?

  • Can you tell me how to transfer music from audio to music player on the lg glimmer???

  • please dear lord do NOT buy this phone. LG stands for Low Grade on this phone. touch screen is SHIT. i sent it in, only to have them tell me i needed to calibrate it. i did. still shit. i have to calibrate it every 5 minutes just so i can use it for a steady few minutes straight. this touch screen is light, and just kinda feels cheesey.

  • @WafflePwnsSnare wow, really? because, i've had this phone, for almost a year, and it still works fine. I like the touch screen, yeah, sometimes, it may be hard to use if you are used to a fucking shitpod touch or crap like that, that just means the screen wont break if you sit on it. >_>

  • @jess011494 this is just MY account of this phone, but i digress, this phone FOR ME was a piece of shit. but hey, different people, different experiences. maybe i just got a brick phone. maybe it's also a coincidence that every phone i've ever owned from LG was a piece of shit, and maybe it's also just a coincidence that i've had three Glimmer's, and all three had the same problem, and all three were shit, and all three broke. but hey, maybe i just have bad luck. just my opinion though. <_<

  • i hate it when phone stores stop selling certain cell phones just becuz of technology coming up with upgraded phones. i mean if someone wants a simple old fashioned cell phone then LET THEM! damnit!

  • @MzCloey16 oh god yes. But, certian stores, might have old phones, maybe not old, but styled like old flip phones.

  • definantly buying one tomoro

  • dont do it lol

  • should i get this phone?

  • its called ebay lol

  • oh yeah lol.

  • u talk weird.

  • yeah its better than not being able to hear him at all. its called speaking clearly. it shows profession with reviews.

  • I have this phone too it is crap im on my third one the first one sent me repeated messages and then the other two shut off randomly

  • whast the difference between the lg glimmer and the lg spyder cuz idk which one i have lol HELP!!!!!!

  • it depends on what service you have. glimmer is Altell. Spyder is Cellular South,US Cellular,Bluegrass Cellular..ect...ect..ect. they're all the same,they just have different names.

  • im getting one

  • For anybody that their LG Glimmer doesnt work well something is wrong with it. But the screen does get dirty, its a touch screen for god sakes your greasy fingers touch it all the time.

  • I OWN this phone...this phone is complete SHIT.

    1)the speaker is so quite you will never here it go off unless it is completely quite.

    2)touch screen is retarted and only works when it feels like it. it is not responsibe.

    3)also when usesing the CHAT feature the phone LAGS horribly

  • lol yea it was horrible, but i go the rumor 2 now, and there is a huge difference lol

  • lol i like it

  • i have this phone. i really dont like it. at first i loved it!! so much. but compared to other phones it is kinda lame. you basically have to break your finger to use the touch screen. haha jk. but it is not too great of a phone.

  • wow Good review!

  • This phone sucks. Touch screen is terrible and it shows fingerprints easily. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE!

  • well its not as bad as u say i mean if u had the iphone before the glimmer then ya ud think the touch screen is crap

  • Could you do a dogfight with the glimmer or rythm

  • This phone is really good. I have it and love it :)

  • i have it but it is a horrible phone. Its touch only works about half the time, don't waste your timw with this phone, get a different one

  • can somebody tell me how to 3 way call on this phone cuz i cant figure it out...i just got it. today.

  • so can you text with the touch screen or do you have to use the key pad thing

  • u can use the touch screen

  • This or lg dare or motorola krave?

  • DARE OR KRAVE

    JUS DONT GET THiS ONE

  • i want the phones they had about a 2 months ago, the phones now suck.

    i want the lg scoop or this. do they still sell any of em in the stores?

  • The scoop; while it is cool. It sucks. The speaker sucks and the QWERTY keyboard doesn't last more than seven months. I now have to text using the number pad. Stay away from it.

  • ^^ agreed the lg scoop sucks. had it for 8 months and now i have to text with the num pad too

  • I had to replace the last one I had. They swapped it out with a slightly used one. I've had this new one(Scoop) and the keyboard doesn't really respond that well, and if you hold the back button down for more than a second. Your whole message is deleted.

  • i have this phone but cant figure out how to put it in speaker, can someone please tell me how to put it in speaker?

  • when you call somebody there will be two icons on the top of the screen. touch the

    2nd one that has the horn. (the icon on the right of the two.) its hard to explain but i hope you find this helpful.

  • thanks so much i've been trying to figure that out since i bought it

  • where did you get it from

  • Great video i like how they showed the pros and cons. the guy sounded like he was reading a paper but all in all he did a good job giving the all around details on the phone. he did a good job displaying the phone. i could see the screen without any trouble. this is by far one of the best videos of its kind that ive seen

  • wow that guy's voice was boring.

    cool phone tho

  • Alltel is discontinuing this phone I just got the last one the store I go to had. I love the phone so far I just bought a snap on case on ebay.

  • i got this phone today and i love it. the touchscreen is great and its easy to use. i would recommend this phones to anybody

  • I absolutley LOVE this phone. I have been viewing it ever sence ir came out. Ive been saying i was going to get it. Its now been out about 7 months i belive. And i just now ordered one so it should be here next week. And i have been viewing ALL of your comments and when i recieve mine in a few days, I will make a video answering ALL of your questions i belive. and to 'wshelto6': About that accending ringing problem. They have fixed that problem. You just have to do the PHONE UPDATEto recieve it

  • Just got this phone, love every bit except two things. You can't assigned mp3s off a sd card as ringtones. I know for Motorola you can do a seem edit. Can you seem edit a LG phone? Also since there is only one speaker the ringer is soft for three seconds then goes loud, annoying. This was said to be, because if you dropped a call and someone called you right back it would blast you in the ear. But wait ive never dropped a call with Alltel after 10 years of service.

  • With my LG Spyder (same phone as Glimmer, different carrier), I can assign mp3's as my ringtone. It's just cuts off after 20 seconds or so. What I do is I search my iTunes playlist for a cool alternative rock song with a long guitar solo as (approx. 20 sec. or more) and then I put it on my phone. It's better than the LG ringtones they give you...

  • Ahaha blackberry curve 8330 phones are outdated now with the curve 8900 out now so sucks for you hahaha..

  • do you have to have the smart plan to get this phone

  • No you do not need a smart plan its not a smart phone

  • he is totally reading off a piece of paper haha

  • i cant dicide if i want the HTC 6900 or this phone anyone help me dicide? tell me if you know anything bad about either phones.

  • can someone tell me which i should go with please? the LG Glimmer or the Samsung Delve please message me on ur opinion cuz idk wat one to go with. thanks

  • i got the same problem. I cant decide!!!

  • i say you go with the lg glimmer becasue the delve requires an internet plan which will run you about 70 dolars a month

  • i have the glimmer and its the best phonne ever! they have fixed most of the problems and ive had it for 2 months and its great

  • Im going with the glimmer.

  • Delve requires a smart plan, Glimmer doesn't. That might make the decision for some people right there.

  • Yes.That does.But what i really like about the delve is they have a touchscreen keyboard and a handwriting message thing.And the smart plan is only $20 more,not to bad.

  • someone help me,im debating bewtween the Glimmer and the Delve,what would u recomend?

  • me two dude am so confused

  • stop calling it a fuckin smartphone you don gotta pay no additional charges normal phone with touch screen, shit man ur pissing me off damn youtube people who call this a smartphone lol >:D

  • i might get dis phone but i dont know how alltel is

  • They suck balls. I hope they go out of business.

  • my phone is due for an upgrade and i really like this phone but, is it a smartphone, are there any added charges like an internet charge or some kind of gps charge, thanks for any help

  • its not a smart phone.i am so excited to get this! ha.

  • @leeshy28 if its not a smart phone than its a stupid phone!!!LOL :)

    I hav that phone!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!

  • great review and way to get into detail thanks

    im getting it on ntelos

  • i can choose any phone i want on alltel hmm so many awesome phones

  • I have this phone now for about 2 weeks. I love this phone. It's great.

  • AWESOME phone!! I have it with US Cellular and its great!!

  • I have this phone with US Cellular and its AWESOME!!

  • super helpful review! what a great phone. thanks!!!!!!!!

  • should i get the lg glimmer or the samsung delve?

  • I'm stuck between those too!

    I like the look of the LG one better, but I don't know....what do you think?

  • I was going to get the delve but with us cellular you have to get internet (an additional $25 a month) and I was not about to do that So I got this one and I love it.

  • The Internet is required?

    I hate how neither of those phones have wifi

  • Yeah internet for the delve is required. I didn't find this out until I went to the store and the guy told me like 3 times after I told him I didn't believe him because I was so pissed

  • No way, seriously??

    That's RIDICULOUS

  • this is the glimmer..and of cousre internet is required for the delve..its a smartphone

  • yes...i know its the glimmer ...I own it ...as for smartphones REQUIRING internet ...now I know *sigh*

  • ya i really had my heart set on the Delve but then i realized i couldent keep the plan I have now really bummed me out, then i wanted the LG Dare but that was not with my company so then the glimmer caught my eye and i have nothing bad to say about it

  • if you are with Alltel, go with the glimmer if you want to keep your monthly bill lower, with the Delve it's a great phone but they are going to up your bill by about 10 bucks or so because of the unlimited tv and gps

  • im gettin dis fone next week!!!

  • nah..you can't turn the phone on the side

    to have that keypad. it sucks..but w/e the phone's still dope :)

  • Can you turn the phone on its side and type with a qwerty keyboard?

  • ya ive been wonderin y they dont do that us cellular is swizzz

  • I'm getting this phone, or so I hope. Its just amazing.

    Why don't you do reviews for phones on U.S. Cellular?

  • This phone looks tight!! i mean who wouldnt want a keypad slider along with a touch??? thats soo dope but...i have the samsung instinct n that is shhhweet lol?

  • I'm getting this phone!, i wanted the instinct but the monthly plan costed to much :/

  • hey what is t9? thanks!

  • t9 is predictive text

  • loved your review.  i want this phone.

  • how do u guys get all of these phones

  • how you put full song on it i have one and got a micro sd

  • I want to get this phone so bad.

    Its everything I want and you dont have to use the keypad.

    Its kinda like the iPhone in a way...but much more easyer to use.

  • i wanta make love to my glimmer.

  • ahhh! i cant listen to this voice!!!! its so annoying but im getting this phone when my contract ends so im so excited 2 more months!!1

  • I'm getting this phone tomorrow and I'm just wondering what all people don't like about it.

  • I wish there was a touch screen qwerty keyboard on it like most touch screen phones. And i don't like the slide out number pad because i never use it since there is one on the screen.

  • I forgot to mention i sold this phone because you get pretty sick and tired of rotating your thumb and using your fingernail to navigate.

  • I used a glimmer for 3 months. Its a great idea for a mobile device. The pros of this phone are the metal housing and the fact that it is a slider with an above average camera. Unfortunately, there is a lack of a d-pad for navigational purposes. This would be extremely handy for scrolling through your contacts. Please take my advice and hold off on purchasing this phone. You wont be sorry.

  • do u have to use t9?

  • i was wondering the same thing. i HATE t9

  • i have this phone, its really great. and to answer your question james28291 yes you can bluetooth, you can send and recieve songs but you can't set them as ringtones unfortunatly, but they will be under audio so you can still listen to them =]

  • i can get this if i get good grades :]

  • europe has a really cool lg slider touch screen you can't get in usa its awesome i want the glimmer so much too

    im probably going to get it next year or ill get the palm centro

  • I want this phone!! Please LG market it also in Europe!

  • I love this phone too, but my only two gripes is that the ringer sucks, and it has some weird ascending ring problem, but you can update it and it reduces the ascending time (why it didn't get all the way rid of it, I don't know), and that it has NO arrow keys, making scrolling through your contacts a pain in the ass.. They let you use the volume keys for a long text to scroll through it.. but not contacts for some reason.

  • I know that you can search for contacts by the way, but it seems like an extra unnecessary step. It gets to be annoying when you have like 20 people under one letter, and you have to type in alot of the name. I wish there was some way to scroll, I mean, the scroll bar on the side isn't very helpful unless I feel like pressing it and guessing where the contact I need might be out of 200+ people.

  • i think a touchscreen is cooler than a d-pad so i owuldnt care cause i would look cool

  • If you are depending on a phone to make you look cool.. Uh.. you have issues.

    But I figured out my problem, you can flick the screen to scroll up and down, just like an iPod touch or iPhone, I absolutely love this phone! Just took a while to get used to.

  • I have this phone. i love it

  • really? my dad is mailing me mine.. im super excited.. i have a question though brandophosho..

    can you bluetooth ringtones to your phone from other phones and set them as a ringtonw?

  • yeah, you will like it.

    it take great pictures also

    when you get it make sure to run the update so you can text chat style and the ascending ring tone problem will be fixed.

    yes you can blue tooth ringtones.

    this phone blocks ring tones that are made yourself or that are not purchased. the way to get around it is to send the ring tone you have made from your phone to your number. then just save it on to your phone. but you cant use a single ring tone. you have to use the shuffle mode.

  • how easy is the texting on it?

    is it better to use the touch screen or the keypad?

    and is it fast and simple?

    im thinking about getting it soon :)

  • does altell offer service in dayton?

  • i have the canadian version of this

    [ LG Vantage, it's good and everything,

    but the speaker SUCKS, and the ringer isn't that great either. but it's a good phone still.

  • is there really a difference between this and the lg shine?

  • Lg glimmer is kind of like a touch screen version of that. Although there are a few different features.

  • oh, okay. Well I ended up getting the samsung instinct anyway lol

    but thanks.

  • is it 3g

  • was actually a good review, one of the best reviews I've seen on you tube about a cell phone

  • I am saving up for this phone! Cuz my phone i have now is 1 1/2 years old and RAZRs only last like 2 years xD my contract isnt up yet.. but i still am getting it I only have 140 dollars though :'(

  • should i get this or the samsung instinct?

  • you should defenantly get the glimmer it is so much better

  • can u put picture you hav taken from this phone onto ur display? plz reply

  • I want this phone so bad! But I dont get an upgrade until September :'(

  • Need to improve sound. That would be great

  • AHHHHh this phone is flippin sweet! my mom is buying it for me this week. And to anyone who is wondering...alltel is actually a VERY good company... the service is as good as verizon...u will NOT b let down.

  • is it cdma or gsm?

  • Hell ya!! uscellular just took on this phone and im gonna buy it!

  • mee too!

  • sooooo would anybody recommend this phone b-cuz i want it but i dont know if alltel is a good company/phone service so write me back

  • YES they have the best coverage & gr8 axcess tv

  • y did alltel

    had to hav it

    alltel sucks

    they get no coverage

    and i wanted this phone

  • alltel has the best coverage of all

  • no it doesnt

  • shut up,it's my opinion not urs

  • well mine's a fact

  • wateva u probably don't own a phone period, so get a life u loser.

  • u shudnt be sayin stuff like that cuz you dnt even know me ok. and i have the lg vu and a life so dnt even reply cuz i wnt answer back

  • u can get this on us cellular now!

  • lin2log is a moron... the iphone is just a 'breakthrough phone'.. many companies are going to start making better looking, better functioning, and better quality phones over the next year. And an iphone is what $600? Whereas this and the htc touch (even more of an iphone killer) are like $130.. and don't look as boring (wow a flat rectangle..) apple sucks, no amount of lame commercials and fanboys are going to make that any different... the end

  • Yeah this is actually a pretty decent phone. I haved loved everything about it, the camera is awesome. i recommend this phone

  • Wow... you look at this steaming pile of technical horse-poo (I won't even go into the SO CALLED interface and/or graphic design... *hurl!*) and you suddenly see why Apple is having such an easy time at giving everyone a RIM-job (LOL) to the point where they'll be nothing more than another "remember that company that used to do phone's?" companies in less than two years... (at LEAST in the smart-phone segment)

    Frighteningly pathetic. They can't even do ME TOO products decently! Now THAT'S sad!

  • Not to be a jerk..

    But that was a total incomprehensible paragraph of nothing but Apple loving, dick riding review.

    Apple is just as crappy as LG and whether you want to admit it, neither have that great of a phone.

    It outweighs anything else on the market. But it doesnt beat what any teenager, or older person, (depending on who it is aimed at) could design.

    If you want to talk shit about a phone, be my guest Mention a worthy companies name if its going to be in your mouth all the time.

  • "of nothing but Apple loving"... LOL!! Yeah, gotcha. That's exactly what eeeeeeeevery other 12 year-old, sad ass-hat spouts. *yaaaaawn*. No real arguments or even a fuckin' CLUE on the subject? Hey, just yell FANBOI! works everytime!

    You pathetic fuktard... paaahahahahahaa. The sales and media coverage/reviews prove of course you're right... the iPhone sucks alright! Everyone loves THIS phone! ROTFLMAO

  • this phone seems identical to verizon's voyager.  i wish lg could somehow combine a qwerty keypad with a slider like this phone. if possible.. wow, that would be a good phone.

  • touch screen lg shine, and updated

  • which is better?

    LG glimmer or LG secret?

  • its just like an update of the LG shine!!
