"The Samsung Glyde was one of the most hyped phones on an American carrier in recent memory leading up to its launch, and there's one small problem with that: it's hard to live up to the fanfare, no matter how good (or bad) the phone might be. A common early complaint coming out of the gate seems to be the lack of support for Verizon's MediaFLO-based VCAST TV service, a service that the Glyde's main competition, the Voyager, supports. The UI's also getting panned for being a little more confusing that it needs to be; compounding matters is the fact that Phone Scoop describes it as a \"push UI\" on account of a fiddly touchscreen. For what it's worth, it seems that the keyboard is at least quite good -- so if you can put up with the negatives, the Glyde might still have a place in your pocket. Otherwise, the Voyager's still looking awfully good, isn't it?Read - LAPTOP Magazine (2.5 / 5 stars, \"...limited by a poor UI and unreliable performance\")Read - Phone Scoop (\"The Glyde pairs a few of the best things from the physical and touch worlds\")Read - PHONE Magazine (\"The Verizon Glyde isn't a bad cellphone, but it's outshone by its rivals\")"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
