Home Samsung Phones Samsung Glyde. PhoneArena Score Review. User Score User reviews. Battery mAh. In our office we usually get 2 bars of EV and the Glyde got one, and as a result V Cast downloads were slower than average.

V Cast video playback was good once the clip downloaded. We saw relatively good audio sync by V Cast standards generally.

The phone's music player sounded very good through the built-in speaker and likewise through A2DP Bluetooth stereo headsets and headphones like the Samsung SBH The phone uses Samsung's blade connector so you won't be able to use 3. The Glyde supports all the usual Get it Now applications and downloads including music downloads, games and add-on applications. The Get it Now apps all support the touch screen so you can let your fingers do the walking through music purchases, video downloads and more.

None of the games we downloaded support the touch screen, and there's no d-pad which can make gaming less than ergonomic. We tested The Simpsons game which looked great and filled the entire high res display and Castlevania which ran smoothly and also looked great. It's Netfront 3. Web pages have a desktop layout and finger scrolling works well, and you can turn off the touch screen using the screen lock button on the phone's side if you prefer navigating using the keyboard's arrow keys.

It's a bit hard to select links on web pages using a fingertip since the links are quite small remember, you can't switch to a stylus or fingernail as those don't work with the touch screen. But the browser's zoom feature makes this easier-- and zoom using the volume side keys is extremely fast.

Should you hate side scrolling, use the "smart fit" option which re-flows the page to fit the pixel wide display. There's no avoiding lots of up and down scrolling since the screen is only pixels tall the browser operates only in landscape mode. This is the new version of Navigator that adds traffic information, local movie and event info, gas finder, weather and 3D map views. If you're in need of mapping and directions, VZ Nav is well worth the fee as it offers good route planning, clear voice prompts for turn-by-turn directions and fast map data downloads over EVDO.

The Glyde worked well with the service, getting a fix quickly and offering accurate location information. The loud and clear speakerphone is audible in-car unless you drive a Lamborghini perhaps , and the screen is viewable as long as you keep it out of direct sunlight.

The 2 megapixel camera with autofocus lens sounds exciting on paper-- autofocus usually means sharper, clearer photos. Alas, the Samsung Glyde's photos instead are murky, lacking detail and generally feel ever so slightly out of focus. The exposure is somewhat dark, adding to that sense of murk, though indoor photos are exposed somewhat better than outdoor shots that's rare.

The camera can take photos at a maximum x resolution and video up to QVGA x of any length as well as short duration MMS video at lower resolution. The phone uses the entire display as the viewfinder and like most everything else on the phone, has touch controls.

There's an on-screen shutter button but we recommend using the dedicated camera button on the phone's side to avoid camera shake. Samsung makes excellent phones with a wide variety of features and capabilities. Unfortunately, the Samsung Glyde needs a little work before we can recommend it heartily. The small size combined with a haptic touch screen and QWERTY keyboard is great, and the screen is easy to read despite the high resolution squeezed into a 2.

But the touch factor itself is the problem, and it doesn't work as well as we'd like-- there's too much lag, missed touches and occasional odd behavior that we haven't experienced with the Voyager , LG Venus , LG Vu, iPhone or PDA phones. Maybe a firmware update will fix these issues, but the first release version found us looking for ways to use the keyboard instead of the screen at times. Our other nits are with call quality, which isn't that great on the outgoing end, and the camera which takes mediocre photos despite the autofocus lens.

The music player and speaker are very good and battery life is better than average for a well-featured EVDO phone. Pro: Very small and light. Hardware keyboard, though small, is convenient for IM and email. Good HTML web browser. IM and email support are perfect companions to the hardware keyboard.
