Samsung Glyde Professional Reviews:

• PCWorld has reviewed the Samsung Glydeand given out”The Glyde’s QWERTY keyboard slides out to the left from the underside of the phone; it simply glides open with ease. The keyboard is one of the best I’ve used; the square keys are wide and roomy, and easy to press.”

• infosyncworld has reviewed the Samsung Glydeand given out”Pros: Slick interface with cool effects. Top-notch, full HTML Web browser rendered pages perfectly. Navigation was sharp; we like VZ Nav improvements. Cons: Touchscreen didn’t register our taps, wasn’t responsive enough. Multimedia features need an overhaul to compete with iPhone / iTunes. Better camera lens, please.”

• phonemag has reviewed the Samsung Glydeand given out”The Verizon Glyde isn’t a bad cellphone, but it’s outshone by its rivals. If it had been released back in January at the same time as the F700v appeared, it would have stolen the march on Sprint’s Instinct and all the other touchscreen handsets. However, users are spoilt for choice at the moment, and we would likely recommend other devices before Verizon’s Glyde.”

• phonearena has reviewed the Samsung Glydeand given out”Despite the numerous features and sleek appearance offered by the Glyde, we find it difficult to recommend the device based upon the countless problems we encountered while using the touchscreen interface. At this point, we honestly cannot see the Glyde used as someone’s primary phone, not only due to those issues, but also due to its poor signal reception. If you are in the market for a touchscreen Verizon phone, than the Voyager is a better choice at this time, as it is possible that a future firmware upgrade may alleviate the problems that we experienced. However, if you do not require a touchscreen, but still want the convenience of a QWERTY keyboard, then the enV2 may be your ticket.”

• laptopmag has reviewed the Samsung Glydeand given out”The Glyde seems like a compelling touchscreen messaging phone with fun messaging capabilities, and we like the keyboard, but it has too many drawbacks to recommend. The interface is bland and needlessly difficult to customize, and the touchscreen doesn’t always act on each finger press. We say either spend the $50 to get the V CAST Mobile TV–sporting Voyager or—if you can do without a touchscreen—pick up the $129 LG enV2.”
