do some of you people realize this is not the same phone as the F700. it may be the same concept but it is completely different. sure the same look but it is acctually smaller, it has a downgraded camera to keep the price reasonable, and the interface was changed to the verizon UI, with leaving a bit of the croix interface to satify the people who do not like verizons. SO PEOPLE SETTLE DOWN ABOUT THE CAMERA! ITS ABOUT THE PHONE THE CAMERA IS AN ADDED FEATURE!
Can the Glyde play music and do other things at the same time?

ive seen a video showing the music player and its almost exactly like the voyager's (the icons when
the music is playing are moved and a different color) so i seriously doubt it. pretty sad the
chocolate allowed you to multitask but phones like this dont.
This phone looks better than the Voyager but it is hard to know until it is released. The only reason this would be better than the Voyager is the UI (from the pix ive seen), flash on the camera, and it is more stylish...possibly smaller to.
even thoooou u can only use one at a time touchhh screens r very fragile. if u happen to be unluckyyyyy enough to screwww it up by dropping it or squiching it your phone may still work at least u still have buttons and screen internally to see and if u dont have a friggin warranty on a 500 dollar phonee its a plusss noooooo.. all touchh is wackkkk one screen is ight two is better.
If you drop the phone or even "squich" it, i bet both screens, not jus the touch, are going to be messed up. And if offered, not sure if it is, people would be completely stupid not to have insurance on the phone so if a freak accident does happen you are covered for the most part.
I'm not here to impose my views or question anyone's inteligence. I am personally willing to pay for nicer features like a better camera because I use my phone as my camera. I think it is unfortunate that verizon uses inferior software because it may cost them customers... (I am now considering an iphone as well as other products) As for design it is basically an f700. Which is smart as there is no reason to reinvent the wheel. It costs a lot to develope new products... It is much cheaper to use a standard chasis and change small bits and pieces... As for comparing phones, it is all personal preference. Some would say the most basic phones are the best because they are pure phones that are true to function... it's all personal preference.. which brings me back to my point... my personal preference is taking me away from verizon and I am betting that people like me that arn't verizon customers yet are not willing to settle for what verizon gives them... We have a choice of providers, plans, and phones... I can deal with verizons tight control of their products as long as they give the best product or at least competative products... Existing customers seem to settle and be thankfull for what they are given... As for me, when this is released I will be shopping around and comparing it to everything out there... I am betting that the glyde would fair a lot better if they went with small changes to improve it and give it the edge over its competitors. It looks like a decent product and it may win me over yet...

Don't jump ship from Verizon -- be aware that for all the wonderful features of iPhone it has
connection times that are less than half the speed of Verizon's network due to the different
technology AT&T uses -- this is a major difference when using the phone for anything data related
and especially for html internet. Also... recent reliable press reports say that a) Verizon will be
opening its superior network to ANY compatible phone in the next year, AND B) that the huge swath
of bandwidth Verizon just bought is going to be used to create a next generation nationwide network
that will be beyond anything we have now, and compatible with the next generation network being
planned in Europe as well. Handsets across the board are going to be improving by leaps and bounds
in the next few years, and especially if other carriers follow Verizon's lead with opening their
networks to third party phones, prices for handsets are likely to fall precipitously as well. So...
remember that a handset is pretty useless without a good network behind it, and stick with Verizon,
any phone your heart desires will soon portable to the network of your choice.
