Very good

7.3

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 7.3 out of 10
Reviewed by Kent German
Review date: 5/8/08
Release date: 5/8/08

The good: The Samsung Glyde offers great call quality, a broad selection of features, and a full alphabetic keyboard.

The bad: The Samsung Glyde's display is too small to do its touch interface justice. Also, the photo quality is poor, and the e-mail support isn't easy to use.

The bottom line: The Samsung Glyde is a powerful cell phone with decent performance, but its touch-screen design and controls don't complement its features.
