env2 or Glyde : Noah Picks the Best New VCAST Messaging Phone
For the past two weeks it's been the same question everywhere I go: enV2 or Glyde?  enV2 or Glyde?  Which should I get, enV2 or Glyde?The honest answer is I can't answer that for you.  You've got to go try both phones for yourself and decide which you like better.  They're so similar in terms of features but different enough in terms of how they look, feel, and work that you really have to play with 'em both in order to decide.  But, hey, I'm the expert (I guess), so...

Samsung Glyde At a Glance
What’s Good: Touchscreen and Full QWERTY Keyboard in Compact Body; Clean Menus and “Croix” User Interface; 2MP Camera with Autofocus and Flash; GPS with VZ Navigator; Full HTML Browser; Good Sound Quality What’s Not Good: Touchscreen Can Be Difficult to Use, Especially Around Edges and Using Web Browser; Slightly Thick Profile; No D-Pad Bottom Line: Samsung shrunk the F700 down to a cool, compact size in making the Glyde. The slide-out QWERTY board is handy and surprisingly comfortable...

Glyde: Verizon announces Samsung Glyde VCAST messaging phone
One whole day earlier than I expected, Verizon Wireless dropped the Samsung Glyde upon us.  This touchscreen and QWERTY-board handset packs a boatload of features into a relatively small Blue body that's a slightly shrunken down take on Sammy's F700 Ultra Smart.  Glyde gives you a 2.8" touchscreen with haptic feedback, side-sliding QWERTY, 2MP camera with auto-focus, flash, and video capture, GPS with VZ Navigator (location based services), and full HTML browser.  Wait,...
