PROS
CONS
SUMMARY
Appearently there is a new version of the glyde i must hav the old one cuz mine is the back of horse stable material ive already had it replaced 2 times! im goin to verizon again and i am gonna ask about the new version and mine is strangely blue not black =( dont no y but it has different setting and it doesnt hav that blue square in the middle of the home screen. they use a different sort of touch screen the old 1 is electricty i think and the new one is different so that might make a difference. do your research cuz mine is the worst phone EVER!!!!

USER REVIEW: Seems good but in the end ..........................

PROSeverything seems good in the beginning but it turns crappy after a month or 2
I reallyyy like the rubiks cube wallpaper
and the shooting star wallpaper :D
CONS
everything after a while

keys start breaking
touch screen is demented
battery gets wicked short
home button starts to not work
keys stick
just turns off for no reason when batterys full
SUMMARY
okay the glyde is the WORST phone ever!!! Worse than flip phone or just plain old phones that are like walk-e-talkees!!!At first this phone seems great the touch screen is working the keyboard is so great and the cool wallpapers and stuff. well after a few months (like 2) the phone starts breaking!The screen goes white at any random moment and you hav to turn it off and then back on!It blacks out and then it wont turn off so you hav to rip out the battery and then turn it on again.the touch screen gets really messed up if you touch something on the top of the screen it says you touched something at the bottom of the screen! i hav had my phone replaced once and after the replacement that same day it did all of these things AGAIN! im returning this phone and getting the env touch DONT GET THIS PHONE !!!! NO MATTER HOW MANY GOOD REVIEWS THERE ARE!!!

Get the refreshed version of the Glyde, just take it in to Verizon and they should give the new refreshed one without the buggy touchscreen.

"Anyone who has nice things to say about this phone must be getting paid!"

Comments such as the one above fill the reviews section at Phone Scoop, making it evident that the Glyde is considered less than desirable by some. Despite its problems, the company appears to be trying again, as an insider at Howard Forums has surfaced with photos of the Samsung Glyde 2. Specifications are unknown, though the TouchWiz user interface and a larger keyboard can be seen from the shot. Combine that with a large Verizon logo on the top, and it brings it full-circle.

More pictures can be found in the original thread on Howard Forums. Launch dates and availability are far from being known, but that doesn't mean that we can't get excited (double negative and all). Any Glyde owners jumping up and down right now?

PROSgreat style. nice qwerty keyboard. Great internet browser. small and easy to carry around.
CONS
bad touch screen. not the best battery life. screen gets lose a little after little use.
SUMMARY
I use my samsung glyde a lot and i have to say its a good cheap touch screen cell phone now $79. The samsung glyde is a great phone for someone who's never used touch screen cell phone.

yes, watching this and looking around has really made me choose this over the voyager.. just as long as i get the refreshed one.
so i think Noah should do a review on the new one! =]

PROSQWERTY
CONS
speakers only on top
SUMMARY
i had the old version of the glyde and i almost chucked it out a window. i went and got it exchanged for a new version. everything is the same but the touch screen. the old screen uses electricty from your fingers so if it gets dirty you are doomed. samsung revamoed it and put in a pressure sensitive screen and a calibriation screen so now it works much better. also the old one could only be used by your finger but the new version can use a stylus, a pluss in my book seeing as i have large hands.

my phone isnt working right anymore...it never pushes the right buttons. i've had it since december, and i dont think it should be THIS messed up already ? sometimes it wont send txt...like it'll say it's sent but then never go to a checkmark like it does when they have verizon ? do i need to update my phone? and if so how? plus i dont have the warranty anymore, so can i fix my phone at all ?
