Samsung Wants To Glyde Right Into Your Tight Pants

Samsung slides into the PDA-like devices with the Glyde, exclusively for Verizon.

There isn't much about the Glyde that separates it from the rest of the slide-out keyboard smartphones on the market ... except the unique (to me) design of its keyboard. I really, really like that keyboard; it resembles that of an actual computer, with a fat space bar and a lack of extraneous buttons.

Because the Glyde looks so much like the AT&T Tilt (the phone I purchased for myself), I compared the specs to see if I got ripped off.

• Both have 2.8" touch screens
• Tilt: 6oz. Glyde: 4.13oz
• You can talk for 240 minutes on the Tilt and 210 minutes on the Glyde ... though I never trust those specs, as they're nearly always wrong
• Tilt has a 3 megapixel camera with 10x zoom; Glyde has a 2 megapixel camera with "flash and zoom," whatever that means

And a bunch of other crap—check the Glyde out here, and the Tilt out here. They're so close to one another, it really comes down to whether you subscribe to AT&T or Verizon, and whether, like me, you're second-guessing your decision not to buy an iPhone (goddamn it).
