Debunking its reputation for offering a bland handset selection, Alltel introduces the sleek and slim LG Glimmer AX830. Weighing only 4.5 ounces, it’s a unit you’d find pleasurable to use and carry. It offers a crisp 2.8-inch display capable of showing 262,000 colors that you can use even in direct sunlight. This proved to be very useful when used hand in hand with the GPS function of the AX830.The reviewer stated that the interface is so intuitive that there’s need to consult the manual for the basic functions. The AX830 can also double as a multimedia phone, offering music playback, over-the-air downloading, and TV access as well. The GPS function of the AX830 provided turn-by-turn directions which was quite accurate even on areas with detours. The reviewer noted that the voice quality of the AX830 was excellent, though it is marred by the lack of Alltel’s service. The battery performed as promised, providing power for 3 hours of surfing, calling and using the GPS. If you are in the market for a sleek looking phone, the LG Glimmer AX830 offers good value for your money.
