More details (and pics) of Verizon’s Samsung Glyde U940

Posted by Will on Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 at 3:05 pm under Verizon, Samsung, Devices

Verizon’s iPhone-fighting Samsung F700 Croix handset has already passed through the FCC as the US-friendly Samsung U940 on its way to pull duty as the Croix interface-toting, (pseudo)haptic feedback using, CDMA qwerty-slider with a touchscreen display. And we’ve got more details and pics on the highly anticipated touchscreen device from Samsung.

Verizon should be picking up the Samsung U940 as the Samsung Glyde, and we’re seeing that it will thankfully be rocking a true-blue web browser with full HTML support. The 5 megapixel camera that we saw in the Samsung F700 Croix will probably make it to the Samsung Glyde, but only time will tell if that’s on point.

With Verizon already offering the LG Voyager as an attempt to lure potential iPhone buyers to the CDMA-side of things, the Samsung Glyde could give LG Voyager owners a bit of buyer’s remorse. The Samsung Glyde definitely looks sleeker than the LG Voyager - sorry, Voyager owners.

I’ve had my hands on a Samsung F700 Croix and the Samsung F490 with the Croix interface, and both handsets are amazing. The Samsung F700 (the Samsung U940 is the US version of the F700) sports a great display (even if it is pressure-sensitive) and comfortable qwerty keyboard. Unfortunately, that annoying pseudo-haptic feedback is annoying. I don’t want to entire device to vibrate every time I touch the screen.

      I was trying to figure our a new phone, since my plan was up on May 8th, I hated all of them… Then I spotted the Glyde and I had to have it! I ordered it today. Can’t wait. Feels so much better then the Voyager, much small and easier to handle.
