Leaked photos of a Verizon-branded Glyde 2 (aka U960) smartphone show it has a streamlined design, a fourth row added to the keyboard, and now uses Samsung’s TouchWiz interface. It all sounds promising, but what about that sluggish touchscreen?
?
When our very own Matt Buchanan conducted last year’s iPhone Clone Battlemodo, his verdict on the first generation Glyde was as succinct as it was scathing:
“The Glyde is just a truly terrible phone. Most clay bricks are more responsive than its touchscreen, especially around the edges, and the crappy, sluggish Verizon software doesn’t help. And its keyboard ain’t much better.”
I do like the idea of a competitive haptic touchscreen rival to the iPhone. So here’s hoping that Samsung and Verizon have lifted their game. It’s early days, so no word yet on pricing or availability. [HowardForums via Electronista]
