The month of May sure is shaping up to be an exciting month indeed. To help kick off the summer season, Verizon is apparently planning to launch the much-anticipated Samsung Glyde on May 9.
As you’ll probably recall, the Samsung U940 Glyde features a full-body, pressure sensitive touchscreen and sliding QWERTY keyboard. We’ve been waiting to get a crack at the Samsung Glyde. The full-HTML browser should make quick work of browsing the web with the Samsung Glyde’s 3G radio. Of course, the pseudo-haptic feedback that I have lamented time and time again will also make its way to the Samsung Glyde U940. It’s useless to have the entire device vibrate upon a touchscreen input, whereas having a localized vibration in the area of touchscreen input would provide far more tactile feedback. Still, some feedback is better than no feedback – especially if it’s done in an intuitive and gradated method.
Word has it that the Samsung U940 Glyde will launch on May 9 with a $200 price tag on 2-year contract. A one-year contract gets you the Glyde for a still-manageable $370, while the outright purchase price will hit $420.
