The Glyde U940 is Samsung’s first touchscreen phone for Verizon and is in direct competition with the LG Voyager that was released almost 6 month earlier. It is based on the GSM Samsung F700, with similarities in style and form, yet the feature-set has changed. The Glyde is targeted to consumers that are looking for a touchscreen device, with a smaller footprint than the Voyager, while maintaining a mechanical QWERTY keyboard.

Sprint’s new LG Rumor phone looks a lot like an upgrade to the LG enV but with a more favorable screen and interface (nothing special though). The slide-out qwerty keys are easy to use but the phone cant keep up with a mediocre text speed. So i can see those teen texters getting frustrated. The pros of the phone are its solid build quality, colorful screen and GPS that was surprisingly good for such a small, inexpensive phone. The cons were the lack of some calling features like voice dialing, etc., slow keyboard typing speed, poor web browser, lack of 3g services and no advanced multimedia features. The good thing is it has a great speakerphone and good value, the Rumor is only $50 with a contract agreement.
