Reviews on the latest and best mobile phones on the market.
Verizon plans to launch the Samsung SCH-U940 Glyde at the end of April.
Similar to the LG Voyager, minus the V Cast Mobile TV support, the Glyde is a horizontal slider with a large external touch screen dispay in a widescreen aspect ratio. It features a 2.0MP camera with video capability, microSD expansion, Bluetooth with stereo audio support and HTML browser.
The Glyde will otherwise feature the exact same user interface as the Voyager.

First leaked in end 2007, it looks like Samsung Glyde U940 is finally reaching the Verizon Wireless.

New Samsung Glyde press photos have surfaced. The Samsung Glyde is a new handset coming to Verizon. The new cell phone will, as it’s name suggests, have a slide-out Qwerty keyboard. The phone will also feature: CDMA / EV-DO, Bluetooth, 2 megapixel camera and memory card slot.
The Samsung Glyde will also be capable of full HTML browsers! This means, you will be able to view website just as if you were at your computer - with the exception of having a miniature screen. So, if you’re in the market for a new Verizon phone, the Samsung Glyde is definitely worth checking out, it’s quite attractive and feature-packed.
PhoneArena reviews the Samsung Ace: “The Samsung Ace is a very strong entry from Sprint, but the exclusion of Office Mobile is very curious and it loses some points for the keyboard design. Other than that the Ace stacks up well with other Windows Mobile 6 Standard devices. Being a world phone is a major bonus, with even more points for an unlocked SIM slot. As we have come to expect from Samsung the build quality is top notch. While we did not care for the keyboard, those with small hands and fingers may appreciate the narrowness. For those looking for a Windows Mobile world phone the Samsung Ace is a good bet, though we don’t expect it will steal many sales from the BlackBerry 8830.”

Featured in the most recent Springwise newsletter is the miCoach, an Adidas-branded Samsung music phone. On the surface it looks like your typical slider, but inside the miCoach you’ll find a load of personal training goodies for the fitness crowd.
With one click, users can connect to the fitness features and begin a workout. On their first use, the system assesses their fitness level and places them in one of three categories. Users can then set their own goals, or let the system’s personal coach—backed by more than 200 workout plans—guide them. Either way, miCoach provides instruction to encourage and motivate users along the way, such as advising runners to “speed up to power zone” or telling them that “15 minutes is completed.”
Tapping the slider phone twice produces instant updates on the workout, and the 2-inch LCD shows a real-time visual display of time, heart rate, distance, speed and calories burned. Users can arrange workout music on the phone according to tempo or motivational value, while a 2-megapixel camera and 1GB memory capacity let them capture their workout milestones.
Normally I wouldn’t go for this kind of stuff but I must admit, the miCoach looks pretty darn cool. ...
