Yes you can special order the Glyde with whatever options you want. If you don't want to browser you don't have to get it. i ordering mine with 2 browsers in case I want to go online more than once.
Pay the money for the plan and stop being cheap!

So, I wonder what people's response will be to this question. Although not all of these phones are out, which is the best: LG Voyager, Samsung Glyde, or LG Dare? (Oh, and does anyone know if the Dare will have Mobile TV and a full HTML browser on it?)
how can anyone be excited about this crap phone when the iphone has been out for almost a year?! kid, this is a reimagined voyager (and i'd actually rather be using the voyager)
Actually this is a reimagined Samsung F700, which came out before the Voyager, so what the hell are you talking about? And how does the iPhone have anything to do with the Glyde? For whatever reason, people have developed this ridiculous idea that the iPhone was the first touchscreen phone ever to be release, which is was most definitely NOT. Please stop posting such crap when you clearly are oblivious to what's actually going on.
The Glyde won't be as good as the Voyager. The touch screen is a lot smaller so it will feel cramped. The keyboard is also smaller so obviously that is cramped too. And have fun playing games with no D-Pad except for those bottom row of letters.
Ummm... buddy, the Voyager and the Glyde have the same size screen. What are you talking about? And the directional keys on the keyboard can be used for games and such. Get your facts straight.
the screens are most definatly NOT the same size esquire. The glyde could fit the whole phone into the voyager's screen. Does that make it bad? no, but it is definatly a smaller phone, which some people will like.

Actualle vzwemap and CT the screen size is EXACTLY the same. Look it up yourself on either phonearena or verizon themselves. There both 2.8' You really should check the data before you make ignorant posts like this ESPECIALLY since you havent even seen the real phone yet.
Actually vzwemp, you're right. The Glyde's screen is smaller, but by an incredibly minuscule amount. The Glyde's screen is actually 2.75", whereas the Voyager's is 2.81". So yeah, the Glyde's screen is 0.06" smaller than the Voyager's. If you're not aware how ridiculously small and insignificant of a difference that makes, I suggest you take out a ruler and find the 0.06" mark and you'll notice that the difference is so minor that it's not even worth mentioning. Now the Glyde's screen is different dimensions (240x440), as opposed to the Voyager(240x400) so it may look much smaller because it is not as wide, but the difference in screen size is REALLY not that much. And how do I know this? Well, that would be because I own both and am currently looking at both. They are clearly not that different in size (almost unnoticeably so with the naked eye).

actually, after months of using my voyager i definatly notice the difference in screen size. when you are talkin such a small screen to begin with, any shrinkage is doubly noticable.

you are either psychic or incredibly stupid to make statements about who as seen it and who hasnt. We had em in a store for a good few days before release.

Actually I have both the dummy phones in my hand as i sit here at work and the screens are close but not the same. The voyager's screen it alittle wider but its not a huge difference. I like the Glyde because it isnt as large as the voyage, which when put side by side, makes the voyager seem very clunky. The keyboard is more crampt but not terrible. I think it will sell extremely well.
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY, WAIT FO @ 09 May, 2008 11:26:33 AM
Don't waste your money on this. Wait for the LG Dare. You'll be glad you waited 2 more months. Besides (IMO) they ruined the cosmetic aspect of this phone... A DUSTY LOOKING DARK BLUE HUE? WITH A GREY FACE?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I always thought a black or just a silver, OR black & silver color concept makes any phone look more sleek/stylish//sophisticated. Now the glyde just looks like an advanced designated vzw chaperone handset. Once again, verizon drops the ball on what could have potentially been an absolute show stopper. I mean, don't get me wrong, blue is my favorite color...I just don't want to see it painted all over my "ELECTRONICS"...But hey, I'm just one man and this is just one man's opinion. And btw, I'm 100% sure that AT LEAST half the poeple who buy this phone will have buyers remorse once the LG DARE drops. But we'll never know that because they probably won' admit it ;-)
PS~ ITS TOO BAD, BECAUSE I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS PHONE INITIALLY...BUT NOW I SEE THAT FEATURE WISE, ITS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS THE VOYAGER, WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS. I LIKE THE SLIDING QWERTY OVER THE VOYAGERS CLAMSHELL. BUT TO BE HONEST, SIDE BY SIDE, WITH BOTH THE DEVICES CLOSED, YOU GOTTA ADMIT THAT THE VOYAGER LOOKS MORE ATTRACTIVE. I'M INTO TECH-GADGETS AND WHAT NOT, BUT THE AESTHETICS OF THEM HAS JUST AS MUCH TO DO WITH HOW MUCH I'LL LIKE IT AS THE ACTUALLY TECHNOLOGY BEHIND IT.

The stock photo has the gray face, the real phone does not.

your right man. this phone really was a waste. im just gonna get the curve
Well if the Curve is what you needed to begin with, then you were wasting your time with the Glyde anyway. The Glyde is a dumbphone with a pretty set number of features (with the exception of what you can get from Get it Now), whereas the Curve is a smartphone which, by nature, is a more capable type of phone. The reason so many people are disappointed with the Glyde is because they go into it expecting smartphone functionality, when in fact it is really no different than the enV, Chocolate, Gleam, Voyager, etc. It just happens to have a touchscreen. In all honesty, the Glyde is by far one of the best dumbphones VZW carries, which is not really saying much considering all of VZW's phones are essentially identical, albeit in different shells. People just have to realize that the Glyde is NOT a smartphone, was never intended to be a smartphone, and will never compete with something like the Curve because it is not meant to appeal to the same market

Are they going to fix the browser so you can get rid of the icons at the bottom of the screen while browsing? You should be able to press a button to make it go a way while looking at web pages. They take up way too much space.
