LG Glimmer Coming to Alltel Wireless

I came upon an exciting piece of wireless network news for Alltel subscribers. The interesting thing is that the source of this information is from Asia.

LG Korea has made it known that the Glimmer or the LG-AX830 will be made available on Alltel wireless. The fliers about the release of this mobile phone have started appear last month. But, the news was confirmed only a few days ago with the announcement made by LG Korea.

The LG Glimmer has not yet appeared on the wireless network's site but the press release indicate that subscribers can get the phone in the next few weeks. I know that Alltel subscribers will be delighted by these news and are excited to get their hands in this nice device.

The LG Glimmer may not be familiar to many mobile phone fans so let me offer a brief description of the phone and its features. The LG-AX830 is similar to the LG Shine in appearance but offers its own unique appeal. The device is in the form of a slider and is Bluetooth capable like the latest handsets. The device is powered by an 800 mAh battery that gives users up to 7 days of standby time and 3.5 hours of talk time.

For subscribers who want to take pictures, this phone is a good choice because it comes with a 2-megapixel camera. The wireless network's new device is also a good entertainment device because it has a media player that can cope with MP3, WMA, AAC and AAC+ audio files. Another neat thing about the LG Glimmer's media player is that when it is hooked up to a PC via USB, it shows up as a mass storage device.

The handset also features a 2.8" 262K color 240×400 touchscreen that gives it a unique appeal. It can accept 4GB microSD cards and user can use the speaker-independent voice control when they make calls or listen to music. Alltel subscribers will also like the fact that the Glimmer is compatible with the Access TV and Navigation subscription services of their wireless network.

The device is supported by EV-DO but a GSM version may become available in the following weeks or months. I hope this news can make Alltel subscribers and LG fans smile.
