LG Glimmer AX830 Reviews

PC World reviews the LG Glimmer AX830 and writes;

“The Glimmer is a great-looking slider phone with a generous 2.8-inch touch screen. When closed, it’s slightly smaller than an iPhone, but a bit thicker. It looks similar to the sleek LG Shine…Voice quality was good during calls. The Glimmer’s battery lasted only 5 hours, 8 minutes in our lab tests; that’s longer than the vendor-stated talk time of 3.5 hours”

“Voice quality was good during calls. The Glimmer’s battery lasted only five hours, eight minutes in our lab tests; that’s longer than the vendor-stated talk time of three and a half hours, but only fair compared with other phones we’ve recently tested. ”

PC World reviews the LG Glimmer AX830 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. ”

InfosyncWorld reviews the LG Glimmer AX830 and writes;

“Pros: Cool design, nice looking touch-based interface. 2-megapixel camera. Stereo Bluetooth. Cons: Won’t work in New York, Boston or Baltimore, among other cities. Heavy due to metal used in shell. ”
