  1. bob Says:

    phone offers nice features in small form.
    has great feel with the touch screen.

    Have not found a way to change incoming ring tones to constant level. Currently is low and increases as phone rings longer. Not sure if defect or the way it is. Can not find anything in manual or menus to change. Alltel doesn’t seem to offer much help, they say it shouldn’t be this way and LG say that is the way the phone is programed.
    Also notice some dropped calls where my previous phone (motorola V710)with external antenna would not drop calls.

  2. Kenson Says:

    Love LG Glimmer. It is awesome.

  3. Katie Says:

    Is there ANY way to get it for Bell or Telus?

  4. matius Says:

    It looks like LG Shine, don’t see any difference, maybe a few details on the display.

  5. m@ Says:

    bell has it as of this week, under the name LG Vantage.

  6. elephant Says:

    how do you get music on this phone

  7. Scorpion Says:

    is the lg glimmer and the lg vantage the same phone but different carriers?

  8. Scorpion Says:

    is the lg glimmer and lg vantage the same phone?

  9. Alicia Says:

    Yup, the glimmer and vantage are the same phone. I love it, getting mine next week!!

  10. derek Says:

    LG glimmer gets terrible reception. I have the E815 and live three miles from the Alltel Store. I get full bars with both phones at the store, I get no bars at home with the glimmer and 2 to 3 bars with the 815.

  11. dp Says:

    glimmer gets very poor reception.

  12. hnm Says:

    The phone is beautiful, I like the size as well. My only problem with it is the scroll function. It is awkward because it is placed on the far right of the touch screen.

  13. dave Says:

    the glimmer gets absolutely terrible reception!!!

  14. C Smith Says:

    Cool phone but TERRIBLE RECEPTION! Drops so many calls that people don’t want to talk to me any more b/c it is too frustrating.

  15. C Smith Says:

    Cool phone but TERRIBLE RECEPTION! Drops calls constantly.

  16. Slugger Says:

    People, people… PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD:

    While the LG Vantage and Glimmer use the same physical piece of hardware for the phone:

    The programming, menu options, functions and most importantly, the file structure ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!!!!!! The LOOK of the menus are similar, but they are NOT THE SAME.

  17. R2 Says:

    Yep…TERRRRRRIBLE reception and POOOOOOR battery life….

  18. paty Says:

    I can’t use cable usb. I don’t find any software for it.

  19. Big D Says:

    I’ve had the Glimmer for a couple of weeks and I’m not sure where these people say it has bad reception. I went side by side with my old Razor(which got great reception) and it pretty much went toe to toe. I love the phone and would recomend to anybody. I am very very picky also.

  20. RED Says:

    I have had the phone for a few weeks, my only complaint about the phone is you always have to unlock it…but with touch screen i guess that is good. I have great reception and love this phone! I am trying to get some games downloaded but have been able to get everything else that I wanted. I also have the memory card so i guess that makes getting songs and ringtones a bit easier.

  21. Bballgirl3 Says:

    I’m only 12 and i have been saving for this phone forever and i finally got it a few days ago. I like all the features, some of my favorites things about this phone are: you can expand the music memory with an sd card, there is also a keypad for txting on screen, and it’s a very durable sturdy phone. I love the whole look of the phone and all its features like the touchscreen. The only thing a dont like is that scrolling down is sometimes difficult on the touchscreen. I would rate it a 9.5 out of ten.

  22. Mac D Says:

    is it the same as the LG Spyder?
    just another name and carrier?

  23. ashley Says:

    hi, i was wondering if i could use one of your pictures for my school project? if you can get back to me asap that would be great!

    you can contact me by this email

  24. Kal-El Says:

    I have had my glimmer since July and I love this phone the only thing is I am looking for a way to unlock or change the software so that when you text the screen can be turned sideways like the LG Dare. If anyone out there knows how to do this please email and let me know thanx email me at kalel1016@gmail.com
