What is the link to infomanager?? If Verizon doesn't deliver here I;m switching to the VU with AT&T

There is no link to InfoManager that you can get to. InfoManager is Verizon's intranet for employees.

Also you should know that the LG Dare vx9700 is Verizon's Version of the Prada. An all touch-screen phone. It is scheduled to come out in July. It's listed under upcoming on the Verizon page on this site

So for once and for all... Which phone will be better? The Dare or the Glyde... I can wait two months for the dare if need be

Or you can get this in a month and try the dare and see which YOU prefer and think is BEST for YOU!!!

You might be right... I like how this one has the full slide out qwerty. Ive played with the iphone and im not a fan of their touch screen qwerty

No one knows yet. You'll have to wait until both are released. But from what I can tell, each phone will be better for certain people than the other. It depends on what YOU are looking for in a phone.

It doesnt need a nav key due to the fact that the screen is touch even while the qwerty keypad is slid down.

There are directional key on the glyde they are just intertwined with the rest of the keys and yes it will have full html browser. If i really wanted i could get the voyager but i dont really like the clamshell and VZ is just giving people a little variety.......As far as the mobile tv goes............who really uses it often? My homie has one and was hyped about it AT FIRST but now he doesn't really use it. I could understand if you don't have cable but if you already have cable its not gunna make a whole lot of a difference..........and mobile tv doesnt define a phone anyway so who cares. If people are so focused on tv than get the voyager and spend more money to watch it me on the other hand i got alot more channels at home then what VZ can offer and this phone will just save me a little money in my pocket. Im a fan of sliders and i think this phone would possiblely be the best fit for me.

i use tv on my voyager all the time .. at work :D I do use it in downtime, and on trips as i have the windshield attachment, which also makes for great speaker phone and nav. this phone is going to be great, since it has no TV it will be cheaper by a smidge and great for people who want it a hair slimmer. the 9700 is the same, but without the keyboard. so, then it comes down to... touch/ html w/tv = voyager.. touch/ html/ w/ keyboard= glyde... touch/html alone.. lg 9700 im just not ready to give up my keyboard yet... as cool as it looks.

I have been a loyal LG customer as their phones have never let me down but, let me say that Samsung is good too. I am disappointed with the Voyger because as a handset, it's the best out there now. However, as far as the ringtone and speakerphone volume is concerned, it sucks beyond any redemption. I must honestly say that I think the Glyde will be better because I think that Samsung probably did it's homework and observed LG's good and bad. Needless to say, I am predicting a knockout punch or kick for Samsung.

Umm... thanks for that completely useless and unnecessary contribution. To each, their own. For me, a physical keyboard is pretty much a necessity. The Instinct does not have a physical keyboard. The Glyde does. So for me the Glyde is better.

number 49, what did you say when you asked if you could order the phone, did you say the u940 or the samsung glyde? I just called and the lady had no clue what I was talking about when I said the samsung glyde.
