The good: The LG Glance is a skinny yet stylish basic camera phone with decent photo and call quality.The bad: The LG Glance's woven metal back may seem a little cheesy, and the mobile e-mail application costs extra.The bottom line: The LG Glance is an affordable sleek and stylish entry-level camera...
