really?? Funny you say that when they're ranked the highest in JD Power & Associates and Consumer Reports. although... they're being recently being won over by Alltel--in the areas that Alltel and VZW co-exist! So... I was wondering, was this just a personal gripe with VZW or were you actually going off quantifiable facts that actually mean something?

Clearly this is Samsung's version of the Voyager. I will keep my trust with LG since they are a reputable phone maker. Samsung has really slacked in the cell phone market of late (except for the Gleam and Juke). The Alias? Horrible !!! The i760? Decent !!! I hope the Glyde lives up to the hype.

Clearly you are poorly informed. This phone has been out for a while in a GSM variant. There is NO way this is a Clone of the Voyager. VZW is just trying to diversify its product line and give consumers a choice of touchscreen, QWERTY phones.

The interface of the GSM F700 has nothing in common with that of the Glyde - see the preview of the F700 and the pictures of the Glyde in the site.

37. Esquire0399 posted on 30 Apr 2008, 16:25

Actually the Glyde's interface is somewhat influenced by the F700's Croix UI.

40. DeeMan (unregistered) posted on 30 Apr 2008, 20:13

Clearly I AM well informed. The UI and touchscreen is slightly different than the f700. With all the specs that it has ( including the HTML browser ), this will VZW's next fully touch screen non- smartphone. The only divesrity in that is that it is a different phone manufacturer. Keep in mind, the Voyager is really a variant of the Prada, so it too was out for a while before LG released the Voyager to VZW.... and the Prada and f700 had a lot in common.
