Glyde Refresh is said to fix your touchscreen problems

Remember the Samsung Glyde that came out almost a year ago? Most people, including us, had issues with the capacitive touchscreen. Some people tried to resolve the issue themselves, and the device was even pulled from the Verizon shelves for a few weeks last November. Now it appears there is a Refresh version of the Glyde that uses a resistive pressure sensitive touchscreen, similar to the LG Dare and Versa, instead of the capacitive. Reports over on HowardForums from people who have the newer model say that the screen issues are gone and it works much better. So if you happen to have one of the original Glydes and are sick of the touchscreen problems, you might want to see about replacing it with the newer version. The UPC on the box is: 6-35753-47680-4. What we find interesting is that no Announcement came from Verizon or Samsung.
