This is mighty curious. According to this very legit-looking image distributed to a Verizon customer service call centre, Verizon either briefly stopped or planned/plans to stop sales of the Samsung Glyde because of “an issue.” Whether or not they actually went through with pulling the phones is a mite unclear, though the vagueness about the problem is what’s disconcerting to us. Anyone having problems with their Glyde (besides it sucking horribly) or Verizon peoples out there that might clue us in as to what is/was up here? Update: Apparently it was a Midwest-only issue, though they are selling it now.[Engadget Mobile]

If you have this phone and its sucking for you as much as it did for me, return it and demand a different phone!

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 1:44 AMI had to return my Glyde a few months ago because of the same issues others have experienced. I was given another (upgraded)Glyde and have had no issues since. In fact I love the phone. No problems with the newer upgraded model.
