61. Worst phone I've every bought

31 Aug 2008 by wayne

56.7%5.7out of 10

This has got to be the worst phone I've every bought.  The touch screen is horrible.  The lower right portion for the touchscreen probably works 10 percent of the time.  I always have to close the keyboard to use that part of the screen.  The touchscreen is very unresponsive, scrolling is horrible.  Sometimes icons are select but I haven't even touched the screen.  Videos and pictures can not be transferred by usb cable or bluetooth.  What good is this phone if Verizon turns off all of it's features, greedy bastards.  I suggest you stay away from Verizon, their phones are horrible.  If I didn't get 20% off my monthly bill, I would jump ship.  There are no profiles, if you have to turn off the sound, you have to go to settings and turn off every alarm.  What a pain.  I would return this phone but I'm past that period.  Be warned!!!!!!!!

62. don't get it

62%6.2out of 10

I purchased this phone about 1 month ago. since then, I have checnged it 2 times. everytime i take it they tell me that the software has been updated, and even though the touch screen works better now, there are still many times that I click on something on the screen and nothing happens. many otehr times, when I press something, for example the browser, something else completely different lights up. the touch on this phone is horrible. the features on it are not bad. phone calls are easily made but again, I have trouble unlocking the phone using the screen. texting is pretty simple when using the querty key, but a bit dificult to send the text because guess what, the touch screen is not responsive. I am not happy at all and actually will take it back to teh store and trade it for a Dare.
over all, the phone is not bad, the touch is horrible.

63. worst phone i ever purchased

23 Aug 2008 by Shabalaba ding dong

if i were you i wouldn't buy this phone because it has the worst touch screen feedback ever. Go for the iPhone or LG dare, those are both "pressure" sensitive while the glyde is "heat" sensitive. It goes crazy sometimes by pressing everything by itself. I think the design is good but if they change it to "pressure" sensitive it would the MUCH better.

66. Glyde Causes Turmoil!

21 Aug 2008 by Frustrated with the Glyde

56%5.6out of 10

I purchased this phone back in June and loved it. The only thing that I had a problem with was the way the phone unlocks the screen. I find that too many times it unlocks in my pocket. At any rate, after about a month of use, the phone started acting up. Menus would scroll up and down by themselves, or when I would press a button at the top of the touchscreen, a button at the bottom would highlight and select that option. I've called numerous people from my pocket. Basically, the phone just started to errode away in quality. I swapped it out for another Glyde at the Verizon store about a month after initially purchasing it. I think they gave me a refurbed one because it did not come in the initial box. I was happy with that phone too, for about a month. Then all hell broke loose. The phone started doing all the old things that it did with my initial one. It even started turning off at random times. Bare in mind too that I am extremely careful with my phone. I have never dropped it, or ran it into something while it was in my pocket. Being a Palm Treo user in the past, the touchscreen was becoming unusable and unacceptable. When I went to Verizon to get the heralded software update, the gentleman at the entrance told me that the touchscreen phones are very fragile and that if I buy a belt clip, none of this would've happened. BULLS*!T. I never had a case for my Palm and for two years, that phone never effed up. So what they are telling me is that the phone is made so cheaply, that I need a belt clip to make this phone survive. After getting the software update, I thought, finally, all will be better. Unfortunately, less than 5 hours after I got the phone back from the Verison techs, the phone started acting up. I went back to the store AGAIN. I asked them to get me into another phone. They offered me a comparable touchscreen phone at the 1-year price. $350 or something. HELL NO! I demanded that they replace my phone, but since they did not have any Glyde's in the store (WTF????), they said they would ship me a replacement phone to my house. That was Monday August 18th. They also promised me that it would arrive by Wednesday August 20th with FedEx 2 day. Yesterday, I had not received my phone. I called Verizon's customer support line and laid everything out again for the person on the line. They tracked my package for me, politely gave me a $10 credit for my troubles with the package not arriving on time, and said that they would mark my file with a comment that says that if this Glyde acts up, to have the people at the store get me into a comparable phone. I checked FedEx and the phone arrived today. We'll see how everything goes when I get home from work... Stay tuned

67. Glyde is JUNK

15 Aug 2008 by JimmyL Seattle

OK, I finally purchased a Samsung Glyde. WHAT A PIECE OF GARBAGE! I hope that most americans do not experience this touch screen travesty. I also own an Ipod Touch and there is no comparison to even that touch system. I am glad that VZW has the worry free program so i can return it and wait for something better. Again with Verizon that will be a while until they embrace the open access phones.

Glyde update available from Verizon Wireless stores! Improves touchscreen!'
Yes we all know the touch screen is ignorant sometimes but its a beautiful little phone and its just great all around. The touchscreen has been improved with the firmware update so now the fone is virtually perfect. Iphone and voyager are both overated. Well the iphone does have its outstanding feastures but ud take this little baby over it.
NEW FIRMWARE HAS YOUTUBE SUPPORT

69. Samsung Glyde

12 Aug 2008 by Mike

So today i bought the glyde with the new updated software and i must say it is spectacular. I rarely have to touch things twice for them to work the kepboard is great, screen is bright, ui is not bad, call quality is fine to good, speaker phone is very good and battery life is good. So if the reviews saying the touch screen were bad was making you not get this phone try it out with the new software then make your decision.
