Some time ago, we talked about Verizon Glyde’s problems with the touchscreen. Apparently, software update wasn’t able to fix all the issues, hence Samsung decided to change the screen. As a result, capacitive touchscreen is dumped for the resistive one, meaning you won’t be able to read the screen’s contents on a sunny day, but the phone should work properly. Speaking of that, I never realized the Glyde used a capacitive touchscreen like the iPhone and HTC Dream/Magic do.
Anyway, according to some people from HowardForums a new Glyde Refresh is available and it works perfectly. The UPC on the box is 6-35753-47680-4, so if you’re into Glyde make sure to remember / write down that number and look for it prior to pouring out any cash/cards from your wallet. Hopefully, we’ll hear something official from either Samsung or Verizon in the meantime.
