Overview
What's Good: Durable device with good call quality and strong battery life. What's Bad: No 3G; gold battery cover may be a bit of an overkill.
Introduction
What happened to candybar devices? We've seen twisting devices, sliding QWERTY keyboards, flip phones, and more, but the age-old bar phone seemed to fade into the sunset. Not so with the LG Glance, as the company has brought the form factor back, and breathed new life into it. Appealing to the entry-level wireless crowd, the Glance packs a reasonable amount of features into a compact design. We just wish it had 3G, and perhaps a more neutral battery cover.
Design & Features
The left side of the Glance houses the volume rocker, a 2.5mm headphone jack, a speakerphone button, while the right side sports a microUSB charging port and a camera key. The front of the device sports a joystick for navigational purposes, two touch sensitive buttons, a send key, clear/voice command key, end/power key, and a standard numeric... - read full review

Overview
What's good: the 3.7" AMOLED touch-screen at 360 x 640 pixels looks fantastic; the 8 MP cam is probably the best I've used on a phone - for still photos and video, which are easily shared; 3.5mm audio jack doubles as TV-out; comes with 8 or 16 GB of internal storage and supports microSD up to 32 GB; 1500 mAh battery and good sleep implementation mean it can go a very long while without recharging; TouchWiz makes Symbian much more usable.What's bad: Symbian problems turn up at unfortunate times; simple actions take far too many taps; keyboard leaves much to be desired; I wish it had a Xenon flash, but LED is O.K..
Introduction
This GSM unlocked quad-band device turned heads from its first hands-on appearances in tradeshow videos from Barcelona last winter. And it was all about the screen, up front.
