CNET Review
The Good: The Samsung Glyde offers great call quality, a broad selection of features, and a full alphabetic keyboard.
The Bad: The Samsung Glyde's display is too small to do its touch interface justice. Also, the photo quality is poor, and the e-mail support isn't easy to use.
The Bottom Line: The Samsung Glyde is a powerful cell phone with decent performance, but its touch-screen design and controls don't complement its features.
