wow....first off it is no where as good as i thought it was going to be....as always its "watered down" because of Verizon. Verizon finds new ways to make good Samsung phones into crap. It feels very very cheap, and feels like it'll break on you very quickly...as far as sound quality and features, its mediocre at best, nothing outstanding..

132. Love it or hate it?

All in all the glyde is alright!! I just got it last night. Good thing that Verizon has a 30 day test drive policy. I love everything about the phone except the softness of the audio. It doesn't come close to my voyager. When I first played with the phone, I guess the store was really quiet and the phone did sound pretty loud at the time. I left the store and loaded the phone up with custom ringtones. The audio is soooooo soft. Good thing the phone has vibe because I cant hear it when it rings. When watching a video I have to put the phone next to my ear to even hear whats going on... But all in all I really like the touch screen and all the features..Like the size of the phone. Its not too big n not too small..Easy to text and type on it.. Softness is killing me.. Maybe I just need a hearing aid...

its small and sleek. i wanted the enV last year, but this is 100x better. to the person who said no zoom. it does in fact have zoom. i opened it and loved the size. its so amazing. yes the touch may be a little unresponsive but nothing is perfect. other than that i suggest to people to get it. it is an amazing little thing.

i looked at this phone. $50 cheaper than the voyager- 100% worse than the voyager. buttons are really hard to click, and it's a bit small- i ordered a case for my un opened voyager, which was a leather one for $200, and since i sold my voyager, i thought the case would fit this phone and im wrong for opening it up. i have this phone, since i thought "it was the iphone killer", but nope. i should return it, but verizon only lets me in 3 months! i have to bare with this phone with a plastic keyboard and small options. i hate it. dont buy it.

This is definately a GREAT PHONE! How ever when I got th chance to actucally touch the phone it was a lot smaller than I thought. I thought it would be the same size as the XV6800. Other than the size of the phone I definately recommend this phone to anyone... Fyi I dont think people should buy it if you have big fingers!!!

136. Samsung Glyde Review

This little critter definitely has good potential. It's a sleek design and is really easy to get the hold of. The color display on the screen display a gorgeous contrast and are bright and vivid! The Glyde has that perfectly sized, slide down, qwerty keypad as promised and it really is perfect!. The Samsung Glyde has a beautiful display and is especially ergonomic overall. The front screen acts as a desktop/ screen saver, that you can actually influence by touch (Even play with a rubiks cube!). The Navigation through menus on the Glyde are/or seem to be much different than expected from Verizon. It's clean cut and perfectly geared for them high-tech junkies. Thus far everything is perfect. Where The Samsung Glyde falls short, is on programming. Sometimes navigating may be sticky or sluggish which defeats the purpose of the name Glyde (sorry, that was harsh). I was expecting more of a seamless navigation and the system to be a bit more fluid. The actual touch response sometimes is non-responsive based on your selection of target. The programming sometimes wont respond when you select your desired feature. You, sometimes, may need to try and select it multiple times before you even get a response, and thats regardless of sensitivity. This happens mostly during navigation online. The sound is fine, and the camera could use a zoom (unless i've overlooked that) Lastly, the features are pretty basic. For signal, Verizon is verizon so, trying to use Verizon's wireless mobile web and having "Server is not responding Please try again!" is a little annoying. The value is good for what the phone is meant for, but its definitely not at that point . All in all, the Samsung Glyde has the potential to get a perfect 10 on my list, but until some of those programming for the touch navigation and response time are fixed, id say this is one to hold off on... Samsung could have held off on the release of this bad boy a little bit longer and flatten those bumps!
