Samsung Glyde Review
The Glyde U940 is Samsung’s first touchscreen phone for Verizon and is in direct competition with the LG Voyager that was released almost 6 month earlier. It is based on the GSM Samsung F700, with similarities in style ...

i tried this phone out while getting my third and fourth dare in the same day but @ different stores. the glyde version 2 touchscreen was faster than the dares and was bigger than version 1. then the second had the first and it was slow and bad yet i really like the new one its bigger and new hardware and software which makes it better than the dare. i most likely will pay full price for the samsung glyde version 2. i used the phone for about 20 minutes at the store and i have used a friends and it was better than the dare
almost everythingthe full retail price

22. worst phone ever...

i researched this phone before i got it, and i thought it was perfect. it was touchscreen, with a qwerty keyboard. but the touchscreen is VERY bad, its not like how LG makes it, where you can even use your nails since the touchscreens they make are sensitive. samsung did not impress me with this phone, i always have to rub the screen because of the oil from touching it. the oil keeps the touch screen from working but its a touch screen, it shouldnt have problems like that. samsung needs to open their eyes and make a phone that isnt a piss off. as for verizon, i dont know why they're still selling them. the new software is good, but right after i got my phone updated with the new software it broke into two pieces. not only is the software not that great, but its breaks easily. i also know many other people with the same phone and theyve complained about it too and some of theirs broke like mine, into two pieces. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE YOU WILL REGRET IT LIKE I DID.
it has a nice design, and pretty good quality camera.the camera lags a lot when it takes pictures and the touch screen is of poor quality. getting to the menu or even opening a picture takes at least two seconds to load.

I got this thing in November of '08, along with the universal PDA pouch, 2GB memory card, car charger, and screen portectors. I like it, but I have to touch right where it wants me to in order to get the touchb screen to work right. It's small, fits in my pocket, is easy to use, and I hardly know its there. I have BIG fingers for a teen, and they fit right on the QWERTY keypad. In short, I love my phone, and would recommend it to anyone looking for an effective phone with LOTS of features! XD
Everything about it.None that I can think of, but we'll see in a year XD

26. Don't Buy This Phone

I was so excited when I got this phone, but it didn't take long to be disappointed. The main issue is the touch screen--it just simply doesn't work. As others have noted, often you touch one menu item and it takes to you to another, which means navigating is a complete pain because you keep having to go back to the home page and try again. You can set the phone so it vibrates when you touch a button on the screen (to give you a tactile response in absence of true buttons), but half the time you hit a button, it would vibrate, so you know you touched it with enough pressure, but the phone would not do anything. I would end up hitting a menu button five or six times to get it to open the menu. I ended up using the QWERTY keyboard 99 percent of the time. But even doing that couldn't help me avoid one of the most annoying problems with the touch screen--the speaker phone "button" on the touchscreen was in the upper right corner of the screen whenever you are on a call--which I quickly learned is the spot on the screen your cheek is MOST likely to brush against, resulting in many times being midcall when all of a sudden I had the effect of someone screaming in my ear because I'd accidentally turned on the speaker phone.
It's a shame the touch screen isn't better engineered, because the phone has a lot of nice features, it's nice and compact and would otherwise be a good phone. But that one huge flaw overwhelmed the rest. I took it back and had service put back on my trust old LG 8300 that is close to three years old, has been dropped a zillion times and still works with no problems. When I do try to upgrade again to something with more bells and whistles, it will be another LG this time.

I have had this phone since May of 2008. It is the worst phone I have ever used. As others have said, the touchscreen works about 10% of the time if your lucky. I have had so many dropped calls on this piece of crap that I can't even count that high. Texting is near impossible, trying to call someone is a joke. Dropping this phone will automatically open the back and spilling out the battery onto the floor. I cannot convince my parents to let me get a new one, even though I have intentionally tried to lose it. I am going to the store next week to switch back to my RAZR. Yeah, it's that bad.

28. Absolute Worst Phone I've Ever Used

When I originally saw the concept for the Samsung Glyde, I waas really excited. I received the phone in August, by November I had five of them. Every single one of them would shut down when receiving text messages. I was very disappointed in the quality of the hardware itself also. If dropped once, the phone would get little "dinks" in it, and with my LG Voyager, I dropped it many times and it never even looked scratched. The one positive thing I do have about this phone was the interactive wallpapers, they are an awesome concept, but the terrible touch screen basically ruined it. This phone is on no level compared to phones such as the LG Versa. Even the software ran slow, and it had a terrible design, for it had near 8 menus.
Interactive wallpapers
Pretty ColorTouch Screen
Music Player sounded horrible
Menu design
Texting on touch screen is glitchy
Texting on qwerty is too difficult
Phone was made of horrible plastic.

29. Phone Is good In theory, But needs tweaks.

I got this phone when it first came out and have had it for several months now. I origanally got this phone for all the cool features it has and I did'nt have to have the data plan on this one, but it has turned out to be a real pain. If it wernt for the side full quarty board I dont think I could use it. The problem with this phone is that the touch screen is absolutly awful, you touch one spot and it responds in a completly differant spot, that is if it even decides to repond at all. Like I said if it wernt for the keypad I couldnt use it. It can be so frustraighting at times. I still do like all the features on the phone so I guess in retrospect the phone still does everything I got it for I will just have to suffer through till I can upgrade sucks though I paid like almost 200 when I got it. I would sugest a differant phone until the touch screen issue is repaired. Other than the touch screen thing though its a great phone. The only other thing I would criticize is when your in the music player you cant exit to other applications on the phone and still have the music play. Also the callender limits you you can only imput so much before it blocks you from entering anymore even with a expantion card in. The Screen has a habit of scratching easily. Camera also is extremly slow and has no zoom. The Phone definatly has a learning curve to it and can be frustraighting that it has no send and end key.
