Ever since we first played with the Samsung F700
last year at CTIA, we've been waiting for it to come to America. And
starting today, it finally has arrived on our shores--at least in a way.
The new Samsung Glyde SCH-U940 for Verizon Wireless
offers the same slider design that attracted us to the original F700,
but in making the transition to CDMA, the phone has been thoroughly
revamped to a Verizon device. The weighty feature set includes
Bluetooth, a full HTML browser, GPS navigation, a 2.0-megapixel camera,
and 3G. You can also bang out messages quickly on the full QWERTY
keyboard. It's a powerful and well-performing handset by most accounts,
but the display is too small to do the touch-interface justice. As such,
we prefer the LG Voyager VX1000 and even AT&T's iPhone. The Glyde is $249 with service.
