Samsung Glyde Reviews

MobileBurn reviews the Samsung Glyde and writes, "The camera on the Samsung SCH-u940 Glyde is a 2 megapixel unit with both auto-focus and an LED flash. The user interface on the phone is reasonable in theory, but status icons for functions like the flash can not be pressed on-screen, instead requiring use of the menu. The on-screen controls for digital zoom and exposure control are generally hard to use due to what seem to be accuracy issues with the touchscreen. Also poor is the quality of the light generated by the flash; it is poorly dispersed and overall very harsh. One thing that works well, though, is being able to switch between camera and camcorder modes by long-pressing the camera's shutter button."

CrunchGear reviews the Samsung Glyde and writes, "If you’ve seen the F700 in person, then you would have immediately noticed that the Glyde is much smaller than its GSM counterpart. It also lacks the front camera and the 5-megapixel camera has been downgraded to 2-megapixel, but it’s still retains the AF function, so I can overlook that. I’m not in love with the keyboard, but that’s only because I’ve grown accustomed to the keyboard on my Curve and I still need some more time with this one. My first impression was that it was too flush and that the keys weren’t distinctive enough, but, again, it’s something you get used to. It’s an otherwise solid keyboard that’s easy to peck away at and the spring assisted slide mechanism is very nice."
