LG confirms Alltel LG Glimmer rumor

A few weeks ago, a leaked ad led to rumors of a new device heading to Alltel called the LG Glimmer. LG issued a press release today which confirms that the slider is on its way to Alltel. The LG Glimmer, or LG-AX830, is a new addition to the Black label Shine line of devices, though with a few welcomed changes.

The new Glitter adds 0.6″ of display, for a total of 2.8″ QVGA onto the original Shine device, now with touch capability as well. The device will offer dual-band CDMA (1900/800 MHz) connectivity, high-speed EVDO data speeds, as well as a 2 MP camera and 128 MB of internal storage, with MicroSD slot support. [Press Release]
