Samsung SCH U940 Glyde (Verizon Wireless)

I read a lot of reviews about the glyde before I bought it, and some of them weren't very good. As far as I am concerned, it is a great phone. The buttons are easy to operate, the size is great, and the phone is very well made. Keyboard is great for texing. I would strongly recommend it.

broke in pocket when i was jogging not worth the price and if you do get one dont go running with it

I have personally owned this phone and the iPhone. While I like the iPhone more than the glyde, it is also a lot more expensive then it as well. The glyde is a smaller phone and I like texting on it more then on the iPhone. The touch screen is nice and it vibrated when you touch icons which is nice. The V cast is nice on the phone and it has all the features you could ever need. Dialing numbers is also a breeze with this phone so I would highly recommend it to anyone with Verizon.

17 year old son loves it....and I think it's pretty cool too. easy to use and has all the bells and whistles.

Most of the negative reviews for this phone are a result of the faulty original software. Taking a phone to a Verizon store and presenting it to the tech support desk will get you a free software upgrade, which took 35 minutes for me.

The new software addresses many touch screen issues and improves some features of the user interface.

Cons: Not many ring tones are included. Sometimes the touch interface can be confusing, but I got the hang of it in about a day. It cannot load some pages, but I have a computer for that. The built in speaker is OK for conversations, but is tinny and distorts music or dialogue in videos. The headphone jack is the smaller 2.5mm that cell headsets use, so headphones with this size jack or an (relatively bulky, available at Radio Shack) adapter is needed. Sometimes it can be hard to tap a link without zooming or use of arrow keys. Keyboard has small keys. I found that I am fast enough at typing, but using the keys as directional arrows or "ok" and other functions in games is a bit cumbersome and requires some practice. Does not seem very durable. Accessing the battery/memory card compartment can be tricky (use light pressure in the middle and slide the cover down). The automatic screen lock can be frustrating, and it takes a few touches to access commonly used features, but with practice it becomes second nature. It takes some practice to search through contacts.

Pros: Played 45 minutes of video without stopping and with minimal artifacting, with audio understandable in a quiet room. Plays YouTube mobile problem free saving time-outs (Verizon network lag). Played all of my mp3s without fail in a Verizon app which is nearly the same on all phones. tWorked with my 1gb microSD card without problems (place mp3s in the media folder). Built in "smart view" of web pages, adjustable zoom modes, arrow key link navigation, switchable java, clearable cache, user/pass saving, cookies, adjustable time-out delays and more made web browsing nice between classes and on break at work. Most (all I have found) games do not use the touch screen but all of them work better than on other handsets. The screen is bright and readable in your own shadow in bright sun. Battery life is better than expected. Looking forward to testing the GPS function, which is integrated and even advertised in the menu. The touch screen stopped working for about 45 seconds while a complex page was loading, but the browser recovered and it let me use the page without issue once it was done loading. A shortcut menu puts 9 features, including downloaded content, two taps away.

There have been many poor reviews of this handset. I think many of these revolve around failures from moderate abuse, or from dissatisfaction with the original software. I am happy with my purchase and would recommend this device for people who are technically inclined and careful with their phones who do not want to pay for a Touch or Blackberry, or for heavy texters who want some tech to show off.

The only things I would improve are sound clarity, durability and qwerty key size. Get some earbuds, be careful with it and get used to the keyboard and you're going to like this phone.

If you are looking for a small, lightweight, and easy to use very versatile touch screen phone with a qwerty keyboard then congratulations you've found it. If you are looking for a phone that feels substantial in your hand and is very easy to navigate for someone with larger hands- keep looking. Bottom line- this phone is great, but not for men most likely.

Amazing phone. love the touch screen and the full keyboard! very small and portable, great camera, works amazing!

Ilike the way it looks and the way it works. Is in great shape. very impressed with the fact that the seller sent it right a way to me. Would but from the buyer again.

like the touch screen, keyboard, slide option on the phone. touch screen sensitivity does not always work accurately. All in All I like the phone

I bought this phone reading every review on it, the good the bad and the ugly I can only say I hate this phone. It’s the worst phone I have ever had. I thought yay touch screen but in the end it was its downfall fall. Every time I try to hit any button sometimes it will act like it’s posed and bring up a different screen and close out of it will do this about 5 or more times. Don’t get me wrong if you are the lucky one to get a working decent phone yay for you but I wouldn’t take the chances.

This was my 1st time buying on ebay and very happy to say it was a great experience. This seller was great to deal with, shipped my package promptly. The merchandise was exactly how it described it to be, works great. I bought this for my son for Christmas and am sure he will be very excited.

bought this phone for my daughter. she has told me it is "the bomb". she loves the easy to use keyboard. she also tells me the phone is "sexy". very easy to use phone.

I love this phone, touch screen is easy to use and navigate! I like how it has a full keyboard if you don't want to use the touch screen to text. I would recommend this phone to anyone!

This phone is Samsung's version of a touch phone with all the features that you can also find in an IPhone. Aside from calling and texting, there is an internet access, camera/camcorder with good resolution, GPS navigator, music and games upload capability, and tons of other minor features (like currency converter and tip computation). The problem with this phone is that it is sometimes difficult to make a quick phone call if you're using the touchphone features. You still have to slide it in order to get to the right menu because even after adjusting the sensitivity, there would always be problems. Browsing through the internet is a pain, too! It takes too much time to get adjusted to the touch features. The icons are too small. Sometimes when you touch the button you want, it selects another... on the other side of the screen. If you're for the features and the appearance, plus you are patient to learn how to work the phone faster, then this phone would be great for you!

Just the phone i was looking for and also the cheapest i could find i am very happy with my purchase.

Thanks.Phone is great and has no scratches. It seems to be an excellent buy. I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

The tiny screen makes it hard to navigate. You often end up trying to correct yourself because you've touched a wrong button or you thought you were touching one thing and something else comes up. The keyboard is a wonderful feature, but it can't do all the navigation. It's no iPhone.

Cell phone came in brand new condition. No sign of use, scratches, etc.

Saved significant $$ by purchasing via eBay from this seller. LOVE the item and the seller was extremely communicative and accommodating.

This phone Looks brand new, It was shipped fast and it was exactly what he said it would be.

I would buy from this buyer agian =]

Over all its very stylish and ergonomic, however, the touch screen isn't the best. The screen is also smaller than its competition, but I like the compact look so it's good for me.
