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 got the glyde back in May and have been regretting it ever since. the phone design is awesome, i love having the option of sliding out the keyboard when i have to type a long message but the software sucks!! i am constantly having to turn it off and back on again to reset it. the touch screen is okay some of the time, even with the sensitivity on High or Med High. it wil often "click" an option i am not trying to choose; for example, when answering an incoming call the options are Answer, Quiet and Ignore, in that order from left to right. many times when i try to touch Answer, it will choose Quiet or Ignore instead. or when typing a message with the touch screen, i've tried playing with the sensitivity but to no avail. Samsung needs to use whatever software LG is using and this phone would be the best!
slide out keyboard
camera is pretty good
the whole software!!!!
touch screen is very temperamental and tends to "click" a button next to the one you are trying to touch (or sometimes all the way on the other side of the screen!)
calendar can only store a certain amount of entries
Contact Groups can only store 10 contacts
stupid features like a Sketch message, which turns a real pic into a "sketch"...although it sucks and you would never be able to tell what the sketch was of.

If you have had the Glyde for more than a week and have turned the sensetivity up this phone is just as good as the voyager if not more responsive. Smaller and sexier to boot. It is also much better than the other phones price wise. I dare anyone to name two thing the Glyde can't do but the voyager can. Go ahead...I dare you...
Everythingthe screen only likes thumbs

horrid phone.
i went through 3 and they all had the same issues.
that dag on touch screen highly unresponsive and messes up at the wrong time. the screen would go white and the courser would go crazy while typing.
after my third glyde in 5 months i spoke to the manager at my verion store and he let me leave out with an lg dare i love that phone and is giving me no issues i only had to put up 50 dollars for my dare and it was worth every penny.
DO NOT GET A GLYDE!!!!
um...
keyboard?
it can play music?
forget it.
NOTHINGjust about the whole phone

I got this phone about a month ago and i am kinda ticked off with the touch screen. I have dropped it a couple times and the vibrate seems to be messed up. I havent exchanged it yet but hopefully it will screw up seriously and i can get the lg dare or something better. If somebody has had problems with their gldye and gotten an entirely new phone please contact me

Ya a lot of people really dont like this phone but me and a few of my friends have it and we love. we must be the lucky ones with the good phones i guess. the touch screen works perfect for me, the texting keys are set up just right for fast texting. the only problem i have with it is that it takes a few seconds to end a call but i dont mind it because im texting mostly so i dont have to worry about getting off of a call really fast. I like this phone a lot!
Good touch screen
Loud speakers for music
Amazing Camera with AUTOFOCUS!
Takes longer than usual to end a call

57. Samsung Glyde

I have purchased Samsung phones from verizon every since they started selling them and this Glyde is the "WORST" phone I have ever had. It is not worth a damn! I have taken it back to the store several times because of the freezing up, I touch one button and it goes to something else, I shake it or move it and it goes to another screen or something. I hate this phone I just want to slamm it to the floor. I have never been so displeased with Verizon and Samsung. I called Verizon everyday complaining and all they can do is send out another messed up Glyde, this type of crap makes me want to switch services and I would do that but I have been with them forever.

I got the Glyde the second week it came out. The first couple of weeks it was great. And then it happend, the screen stoped responding and it only did of a while and went back to normal. I only thought it would happen one in a while and i wouldnt get pist. Well I was wrong!!! After the first month i had it i did it messed up every day and it still does now, i droped it a couple of times so i thought that would be it. So i took it back to verizon and got a new one with the update but that wasn't it.
So now it glitches and the screen is all ways non-responsive and when im at the home screen it thinks im pressing the bottom bar when im not
I hate it and i want to throw it @ the wall
NONE!TOUCH SCREEN SUCKS

TEXT KEYS TOO SMALL

I dont know if the Glyde had preliminary problems, but I got mine about two weeks ago, and its working great! Sure, the back button in "My Music" may cause minor problems, but you can always 'glyde' open the keyboard (lol) and press the backspace, and you're good to go
