Verizon launches the Samsung Glyde
Written by JOJY on May 9, 2008 – 4:59 pm -
One of the worst-kept secrets in Verizon’s stable is finally getting official today; that’s right, ladies and gentlemen, meet the Glyde from Samsung. Wearing CDMA guts underneath its F700 clothing, the fashion-friendly QWERTY slider offers a 2 megapixel cam with flash and autofocus, GPS, the full range of Bluetooth profiles, microSD slot, and a true HTML browser. Unlike its crosstown competition — the LG Voyager — the Glyde doesn’t offer support for Verizon’s VCAST TV service, but we imagine most folks will consider that a minor (read: nonexistent) inconvenience. Look for the phone to start circulating into retail channels this week for a princely $249.99 on contract after $50 rebate.

Sprint’s BlackBerry Curve
Written by JOJY on May 9, 2008 – 2:57 pm -
After the April slip-up — which we’re hearing might be more RIM’s fault than anything else, a thought validated by the fact that Sprint, Verizon, and Verizon have all slipped — it looks like Sprint customers and would-be customers might finally be able to get their hands on some sweet, sweet Curve lovin’ tomorrow. Boy Genius Report has netted what appears to be a page out of Sprint’s internal Playbook, showing “direct ship” availability as of May 9 for a mere $179.99 on contract after the full menu of rebates has been applied. Not bad, all things considered (the price, that is, not the delay we’ve been suffering through).

Just like we suspected, after a short delay, the succulent and delightful Motorola Q9c is now available from Verizon. Bonus shot — instead of the $249.99 price tag we expected it to sport, it’s actually bumped down to $199.99 with a two-year contract and online discount.
