Jumping into the haptic touchscreen phone bandwagon, Samsung released the Glyde for Verizon Wireless. The Glyde offers a lot of multimedia and messaging capabilities. The 2.8-inch display is bright and colorful and provides a 440 x 240 resolution. Navigating the Glyde can be done through the touchscreen, though the reviewer noted that it has too many menus which sometimes lag. The reviewer also noted that the phone froze during testing, ignoring any finger presses. The sliding keyboard offered solid functionality with the keys having good punch and bounce. The Glyde offers several IM clients, though your options are limited. It also offers built-in e-mail support and the feature to set up your own IMAP or POP3 e-mail account. The reviewer noted that the GPS performance was solid and the audio was sufficiently loud, even in a moving vehicle. Call quality overall is average, though the volume isn’t loud enough and the voice sounding muffled. Battery life in overall is good, with half a charge left after a day of heavy use. Though it may look good in paper, the reviewer stated that the Glyde had too many quirks to warrant a recommendation.
