Ok, I don't change cell phones often so anything new would probably impress me, but so far after a month of the Glimmer, I'm very happy with it. The touch screen is a great feature. Everything is right at my fingertips. I believe it is very intuitive to set up and use. I like the option of having multiple numbers for one single contact. (Maybe that feature has been available for a while but for me coming from an older phone, this has been a huge plus to be able to just look up "Cindy" and choose which of the four numbers to call than to scroll through all the "Cindys" that I had before.)
The camera is sufficient for a cell phone. If I want great pics, that's what my digital camera is for, not the cell phone. Videos are also sufficient. Again, if I'm really doing video, I don't do that with my phone. The mp3 is good and extra memory card works well. I haven't tried any of the web connection options. I want to get away from the internet some of the time. If I did that on my phone, I'd be connected all the time.
I almost didn't get the Glimmer with all the reviews of the ringer being an issue. Frankly, I just don't find that to be a problem. I haven't missed a call yet. Maybe the next time I'm standing by the train track with a train going by I'll be cussing cause I missed an important phone call since my phone should be heard over a train!!! (just joking folks). Seriously, it hasn't been a problem for me and I'm glad I got the phone despite people's opinion on the ringer.
Also, the key pad has been handy when I was out in the sun and it was hard to see from the touch pad. Having the key pad allowed for me to put in the number. Even though I don't use it much, it's great to know that it is there.
This phone is miles above my old phone (I'd be too embarrassed to say what I had) so I am just tickled pink. And, since I'm content, it doesn't look like I'll be upgrading soon so the price it not out of line. Buy a cheap phone and that's what you will get. This one is rugged with a metal case. Get the screen protector or cover though. You'll be glad you did.

I love this phone. The features are so easy to use and very convenient. Some say the ringer is too soft, so I kept scrolling through the ring tones and chose the loudest one I could find, and that one is plenty loud. I used to have a different ring tone for each caller, and unfortunately, I won't be able to do that anymore. Other than that, this is the best phone I've ever owned, and I've had a cell phone since the "old days".
