The new Samsung Glyde SCH-U940 for Verizon Wireless offers the same slider design that attracted us to the original F700, but in making the transition to CDMA, the phone has been thoroughly revamped to a Verizon device. This device is equipped with GPS-module, Bluetooth, 2 megapixel camera, 57 MB of internal memory, expansion slots for memory cards microSD up to 8 GB and 1000 mAh battery that provides 3.5 hours of talk and 250 hours in standby mode. You can also bang out messages quickly on the full QWERTY keyboard. It's a powerful and well-performing handset by most accounts, but the display is too small to do the touch-interface justice. This multimedia device comes equipped with a full lineup of Verizon Wireless' hottest services including V CAST Music and Video. With V CAST Music, customers have access to more than 3 million songs from well-known and independent artists that can be purchased and downloaded directly over-the-air to the Glyde.The main menu shows the new Verizon design that uses icons instead of the confusing tabs seen on other Verizon handsets. Unfortunately, the convoluted organizational system remains. We still don't get why the camera is under the "Get it Now" menu. On the other hand, we like that on the main menu page, intersecting blue bars show where you're pressing.
