Samsung F700 reduced to a cool and compact size in making the Glyde. The slide-out QWERTY board is very practical and comfortable is surprising given its small size, and finger-friendly touch screen is generally quite good (with some peculiarities constantly frustrating). Glyde provides much of the Voyager a flash smallest, simplest device, and is a new option for fun in messaging Verizon phone lines.
