This phone's flaws make it immensely frustrating to use. The touchscreen will not register touches correctly depending on temperature, moisture level of your fingertip, and God knows what else. Often, when the screen is acting up, your touches will all be registered in the bottom right...
Read the full review →Fail phone is Fail. It looks so good online and in the store! You slide it open and close a couple times, it has a satisfying weight to it, and it even has a keyboard! It happens to be hundreds of dollars cheaper than the slew of other phones. But as always in the gdgt world, you get what you pay...
Read the full review →I bought this phone right around its release and had the pleasure of paying the early adopters tax with my patience.

Read the full review →The phone worked well at first, but it's performance quickly degraded until it became unusable. I lost all control over it.

I know...
Read the full review →Samsung Glyde is a pretty cool concept. Except it's very poorly executed. The screen practically NEVER works. It's very frustrating especially in emergencies. Keyboard is too flush for my taste. Now for the screen: I pretty much never use my phone, cause it never works, or it...
Read the full review →With all the bad reviews I decided I had to put in my 2 cents because I don't think the phone is that bad. It's not an iPhone for sure and the touch screen does fail every once in a while. But otherwise it's a solid phone with a great camera with a good keyboard. Don't count...
