New spy photos of the Glyde show a few menus similar to those of the Voyager and full HTML browser, instead of WAP one ...

This phone looks awsome and much better than the Voyager (unless you like Mobile TV...don't know anyone who uses it). BUT DARNET! I upgraded to the red Flipshot, and while I am still really happy about it, i didn't know about this phone! I should have waited like 1-2 more months! Oh well, I'll get it in June 2009 when my contract expires.

just so you know mike you can actually throw a fit and force verizon to switch out your flip shot i just did. I have a red one too. In case you havent noticed yet the calendar is not functioning andything you enter that is not daily will change to the first name if you enter more than one. For instance go in and enter everyones birthday you know and for alert set it to yearly and you will see all the birthday names will change to the very first one you enter.....if the first birthday you entered is johns birthday for example, then jane, kathy etc you go back and check it they will all say johns birthday. It is a defect I have been waiting since december for a software upgrade from samsung and nothing yet so I just raised hell and also there is a cell phone lemon law. So yeah when both the addreess book and calendar doesnt function right I would change my phone out!!!! I am getting the glyde, so we will see, but as for samsung phones my last 3 phones have been samsung and I loved them!!!! good luck

you are either on a really old plan or a liar. There is no difference between the AC and the NW plans on price or minutes. The ONLY way that you can have any difference in minutes is by having an old plan. Don't try to confuse people for no reason. The only difference between the AC and NW plans are the data. The only reason these phones need to be on the NW plans is because of the full HTML browser. They take 1000's more kb than a wap2 browser. You can still get unlimited data/internet/vid downloads for 15 bux, just like you could before, it just becomes more important now. If there wasnt this change in how they bill, the phones would bog down the networks and make it bad for everyone. The extra $$ goes to building all those towers that keep us the most reliable network in the US, even with the increased data usage. We could keep it the same, but then we would end up being as reliable as Nextel.

I hope this has the drag and drop widgets developed for the latest version of croix. I have to say verizon's interfaces looks pretty hideous. I'm about to switch to verizon and I am hoping that their sotware doesn't ruin what looks to be an awesome phone.

Damn it, what the hell is the hold up with releasing this phone? I mean look at Alltel and their release of the LG Glimmer. Damn it, if Verizon would stop riding on the coat tails of this whole Voyager thing, we the public, would have the Glyde in our hands now. I bought the Voyager and while it's an amazing phone, the speaker volume is low as hell and the ring tone volume when you purchase ringtones off Get It Now, it's worse. Samsung phones? I've never owned one. I sent the Voyager back, hoping that this Glyde will be my savior. Lets hope so. I can't wait for this phone to be released. I think that it will be the same as the Voyager but improved and the volume will be better than the Voyager. The only debate is the design you have to contend with of whether you want a side open clamshell or a slide slider. Either ways, COME ON VERIZON, DAMN IT!

in all the pictures the EVDO signal was really low. i hope the final product is better.

the weak signal could easily be because... it was inside a building!!! that happends, even on verizon sometimes. if they are real spy photos, then maybe they are inside a warehouse or factory and 007 is taking the photos from some secret phone vault, which obviously would reduce its signal strength a bit!! ooooh yea!

@vxzwemp: If you refeering to #12 being on an old plan or a liar, he is probably on an old plan. there are some older plans that are a better bargain then current plans. I'm sure if you are an actually a real vzw employee, you already knew that.

This phone looks raw and better than the voyager! But one thing i don't get.........why before did they say it was going to have a 3.5mm headphone jack and now 2.5mm. Having a 3.5mm would have had already one thing over the voyager and if at one time it had it, why would it get changed? Nonetheless, im hyped fo sho about this phone and i wanna know when it comes out so i can cop it.........dat and da other features that havent been revealed to the public yet!

The better question is why they decided to go with a 2 megapixel camera instead of the 3.15 that the F700 has? Are they watering it down for the american market? Why doesn't Verizon use the croix/touchwiz operating system? Is their need for control causing them to use an inferior operating system? I like this phone, but I will need to really test it out before I commit to buying it.

Phone looks very cool... Hopefully it will come out sometime soon. Big seller

the official story over the camera is that having phones with a 5mp camera on the network would bog down the network when someone would try to message the picture to someone else. The other aspect I have heard is that most of the lower end phones couldn't handle the resolution of a 5mp pic on their screen so they don't offer the higher end cameras to save then the time of telling every pissed of customer who can't recieve a picture sent to them by their friends "you have too crappy a phone to view that picture" This is just what i have seen and heard from other forums, geeky friends, and a guy i talked to at a store. DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER

#11 has nothing to do with verizons stupid cell phone plans. verizon is trying to get more money of the people that uses its stupid network.
