Spy photos of the Samsung Glyde 2 for Verizon
The FCC profile of a Samsung handset, dubbed the U960, emerged back in April. We believed this one was actually the Samsung Glyde 2, sporting a full touch-sensitive screen and a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard. However, there hasn’t been any new info about it until earlier today, when a tipster of ours directed our attention to a post at HowardForums, where a user had shared images that seem to reveal the Glyde 2 for Verizon. There isn’t any other information about its hardware - we can only see that the screen is large and the keyboard is a four-row one. The interface is, certainly, Samsung’s own TouchWiz with homescreen widgets. Enjoy the pics!

I wonder if this one will be any better than the last one? Then again how could it not be as bad as the touch screen was and as chimproves there smart phone selection and eap as the hardware felt. I still think the env touch will be better than this on vz. Ill be glad when the make there smart phone selection better. Verizon and Sprint are the only coverages around here soi hope verizon does something because sprint has very bad customer service and it savesbyou money when everyone you know has vz.

Sprint's customer service has improved SOOOO much, I never have a problem with them

Reminds me of the Omnia Pro!

The Glyde 2 is based off the flagship Omnia Pro, as the Glyde was off the f700.

TouchWiz on a Verizon phone!! *GASP!*

thats like only the second time.....barely

Why would they keep the Glyde name? The Glyde was a HORRIBLE phone and I'm sure it has left more than just a bad taste in consumers (and even agents)'s mouths.

Yeah, I work for an indirect store and every one of my customers had problems with the Glyde. I don't intend on carrying a Glyde 2 until it's been out a few months and I can see that nobody's bringing them into my store for tech support.

Spiffy!

I've completely lost faith in any Samsung phone that gets released for VZW. Them seem to have the GSM side locked down as far as good phones, but the CDMA team cant seem to get ANYTHING right.... GSM Samsung = WIN! CDMA Samsung = EPIC FAILURE!

13. Phonefreak112 posted on 03 Jul 2009, 14:58

Totally agree, look at the OMNIAPRO B7610 looks like a winner!!!

10. kiki3931 posted on 03 Jul 2009, 13:21

Wasnt the 1st one a piece of sh!t?

11. markemark posted on 03 Jul 2009, 13:31

Yes.

Well if history can teach us something, look at the "Impression" (ATT), very similar. Although this will be on Big Red, the user interface seems a lil bit updated and I wouldn't be surprised to see this phone turn out to be the next big beautiful AMOLED touchscreen that couldn't. In todays world of mobile apps, selling me a phone with carrier/manufacturer based U/I is like talking a dog off a meat truck. Don't compare it to the first one... Big Red and Samsung should have put Win 6.5 on this.... I'm still waiting for BB to introduce this form factor.. In the end the Glyde2 will give teenie boppers something new to brag about...

Well I can tell you guys that this phone has very little in common with its older sister the Glyde. The UI is very different, resolution, and touch screen are far better than before. I can also say that the phone will not be the Glyde 2 but is currently named SCHU960 and or "Rogue" (names change quite frequently in testing so this may change 10 more times before launch. If anyone has questions about any new phones or testing related questions please ask away!

If you really are a Verizon Tester here's my questions... When is the Pre coming to Verizon? Have you tested it? Any inside scoop on a Verizon iPhone in 2010? Let's see how good you are.

18. vzw fanman posted on 04 Jul 2009, 09:39

the pre sucks....when are we getting the storm 2 :-)

24. behold--me posted on 05 Jul 2009, 01:27
