Samsung Glyde Reviews

1. The Object of My Frustration

8 Sep 2009 by Chris Burgess

30%3out of 10

This phone is literally a piece of garbage. The touchscreen feature is a joke. I spent tons of time trying to get it to work. Many times I could not respond to text messages or listen to my voice mail because it would not work.  Sometimes the phone would be doing things on its own - while not even being touched. You may try to activate something at the top of the screen and the phone would activate something at the bottom instead or would not even work at all. I took them (my partner had one as well) in to  Verizon to have software upgrades which tells you they knew there was a problem. The software upgrade for the touchscreen feature did not help. The problem only got worse. Verizon would do nothing for me even though they sold me these 2 pieces of junk. I just last week went and and upgraded our phones early at extra cost to myself because I could not take it anymore. I am thirlled with our new phones and was also thrilled to sit in my garage wlth both Glyde phones and a hammer and relieve all that pent up anger they and Verizon caused me! They are now Samsung confetti!

Pros

I got rid of it!

Cons

To many ways to describe how horrifically awful this phone was!!!

2. My Abusive Relationship

 I feel as if I am constantly in an abusive relationship. I have constant arguments with my touch screen about everything! It is almost as if it has a mind of it's own. It will go from the menu to the home screen continuously when no one is touching it. Sometimes it randomly cancels my text messages.

Pros

display backlight settings, durability, flash

Cons

media player, touch screen, user friendliness, unresponsive

3. Don't bother there are better slides

I liked the way this looked and I have small fingers. BAD MOVE. I'm on my third one in a year. The touch screen froze up, wouldn't respond unless I rebooted and even then not always. Played with itself all the time, when charging and even when not charging. Software update didn't help. Now the latest one doesn't do this but the screen pixellates fairly frequently and last night it when to a white screen when I got two texts at once. Had to remove the battery to turn it off. If you are sending a text and receiving one at the same time it will reboot itself - sometimes losing the text you just sent.

All in all this phone is awful. If I didn't love the QWERTY so much I'd throw it out. But even the EnV2 which my daughter has is awful. I might have to change carriers, Verizon's phones aren't all that great.

Pros

QWERTY keyboard, slider is solid

Cons

Everything else

4. I thought I'd like it, but I don't

I have had my Glyde for almost a year now. Just last month I got a replacement phone because mine froze up and the dial pad was not working. I got a new one for free, but I still don't like the Glyde. First, while playing music, you can't text or do anything else. I had a VX8550 Chocolate prior to the Glyde and you could. Also, the touch screen sometimes doesn't respond the first time. I wish it also had a better camera. I really can't wait until I get a new phone, as the Glyde isn't the phone for me.

Pros

Good keyboard size, good signal strength, pretty much everything

Cons

Touchscreen doesn't always work on the first try, can't do anything else while playing music, locks up when you are making a call

5. Samsung Glyde

I have had the samsung glyde since may of 2009. I have had 4 replacement ones due to the fact that the phone continually froze up. The design on this phone was fairly cool, but the features and touch screen were horrific. In my experiences with samsung touch screen phones, they are a lower quality then say; lg.

6. If this phone was a person, I would punch it in the face.

SAmsung, i have to admit, this phone looks pretty decent on paper, but the quality SUCKS!!! the screen clicks itself and calls people by itself constantly. It usually takes me around an hour to send a message because i have to  reset the phone until it works (at least 20 times daily). After it finally works i can usually send one text message. It will be just as useful when i deactivate it ASAP.

Pros

good paperweight

Cons

everything

7. Ewww

I really really WOULD NOT recommend this phone. Maybe to a 3 year old. I just got it, thinking all the reviews were because of people that had bigger hands. HA I was wrong. Almost everyday I get a white screen that makes me have to take the battery out of my phone? When I press something on one side of the screen, it says I pressed something on the other side. It has a mind of it's own. It's poopy, and I feel sorry for everyone who wasted their money on it, like I did.

Pros

Uh, I guess the "drag and drop".

Cons

Just about everything.
