Slick interface with cool effects. Top-notch, full HTML Web browser rendered pages perfectly. Navigation was sharp; we like VZ Nav improvements.
Touchscreen didnt register our taps, wasnt responsive enough. Multimedia features need an overhaul to compete with iPhone / iTunes. Better camera lens, please.
The Samsung Glyde makes a much better competitor to the LG Voyager than the Apple iPhone. Against the Voyager, also on Verizon Wireless, the Glyde has much better Web browsing and GPS navigation. The menu setup is also better, with a slicker interfa...
Abstract: Ever since the iPhone, major manufacturers have been all over the touch screen. While none have really come close to the iPhones touch experience (Apple in fact uses different display hardware technology), weve seen haptics, or vibration feedback, o...
Touchscreen and Full QWERTY Keyboard in Compact Body; Clean Menus and “Croix” User Interface; 2MP Camera with Autofocus and Flash; GPS with VZ Navigator; Full HTML Browser; Good Sound Quality
Touchscreen Can Be Difficult to Use, Especially Around Edges and Using Web Browser; Slightly Thick Profile; No D-Pad
Samsung shrunk the F700 down to a cool, compact size in making the Glyde. The slide-out QWERTY board is handy and surprisingly comfortable given its small size, and the finger-friendly touchscreen is generally quite good (with a few consistently frust...

Abstract: I can’t even begin to tell you how long I’ve been waiting for this particular phone to reach the US. I was completely enamored with it, the F700, when I first saw the press release more than a year ago. This was back in February and then I finally got ...

Very compact, stylish, AF camera, good call audio
Touchscreen inaccurate at times, poor browser experience, oddball keyboard
Overall I still like the Samsung Glyde, even with its somewhat numerous faults. It is a good looking device, has a interesting user interface (even if it is imperfect), and has a good set of specs for a phone of its size. I give it a "Reco...
Abstract: If touch screens turn you on, but you find them lacking when it comes to composing messages, something like the Glyde will be right up your alley. It combines a slick touch-based user interface with the option of a physical keyboard. Throw in EVDO, a f...
Decent 2-MP camera, Comfortable full QWERTY keyboard, Bright 2.8-inch display, Good call quality
Clunky Web-browsing experience, Unreliable and sometimes confusing UI, Audio plays out of only one headphone when wired, Poor camcorder
The Glyde seems like a compelling touchscreen messaging phone with fun messaging capabilities, and we like the keyboard, but it has too many drawbacks to recommend. The interface is bland and needlessly difficult to customize, and the touchscreen doesn...
Narrow body. Full Web browser. Good QWERTY keyboard.
Somewhat quirky touch screen. No way to sync with PCs. Limited e-mail and IM.
This latest text-centric phone for Verizon is fine for those who prefer their keyboards sliding rather than flipping. Its touch screen could be more responsive, though....
