Worst-kept secret: LG Glimmer comes to Alltel

The rumors proved to be true: Last month an advertisement leaked for LG's Glimmer touchscreen/slider handset had a big "Alltel" brand across it; and today Alltel announced it will be exclusively offering the device beginning tomorrow.

Based upon LG's Shine, the Glimmer has a slightly larger display (2.8" 240 x 400) with capacitive touchscreen functions. This 1900/800 MHz dual band CDMA device has EVDO data connectivity and is GPS-ready. It has 128MB of onboard memory expandable via MicroSD, Bluetooth 1.2, and a 2 Megapixel camera as well.
