Samsung Slyde (Glyde)

The Samsung Slyde/Glyde is possibly the worst 'advanced' cell phone on the market.I purchased this phone in May of 2009.

Let me tell you about some of the features on it.It has Blue tooth capabilities, (which don't work).It has a built-in MP3 player, (which doesn't work). It has a camera, as most cell phones do nowadays, (which has horrible picture quality).

The quality of the calls, are less than stellar.There is a lot of'dead air'.Call drops happen quite frequently.Now, I understand that may be because of the cell carrier, but after all, I'm on one of the best carriers in Canada, Telus.However, that's not saying much, as a GOOD cell carrier in Canada doesn't exist.

The Samsung Slyde/Glyde does have one good feature:It supports micro SD cards.So, I expanded my storage up to 4 GB.Which, is rather futile, because I couldn't play any of my MP3s.I could however store the countless numbers of low quality pictures I'd taken.

The only really good feature of this phone is the slide out QWERTY keyboard, for texting.Sending a text message isn't a problem, though receiving one isn't always as fast as one would like it.

I guess the only real positive thing about this phone, is that it only cost me $39.00 on a one year plan.It didn't take me too long to figure out why it was such a great price.Clearly no one is buying it.I suppose the word got out about this phone....I just didn't hear about it until it was too late.So, take my advice, and steer clear of this substandard phone.The Samsung Slyde/Glyde is a waste of money.
