We think the Glyde could be a solid phone if it had a more reliable touchscreen and a better Web browser...
Introduction
The Samsung Glyde has a lot of potential, with a smooth-sliding full-size QWERTY keyboard and a 2.8-inch touchscreen, as well as extras like assisted GPS, Bluetooth, haptic feedback, and a 2-megapixel camera. It even looks like a smaller version of one of its main competitors, the LG Voyager, though it lacks the former's mobile TV capability. Unfortunately, the Glyde's main input method - the touchscreen - doesn't work well enough for us to recommend the phone. If Samsung fixes this issue via a firmware update, we'd consider changing our tune.
