Those who had purchased this Samsung Glyde, had problems with the touch screen, please listen up. I felt the same way when I had experienced a major problem with the touch screen only and it has been a pain-in-the-rear. icon_twisted.gif It made me so mad I wanted to pitch it in the trash and get a different phone instead of getting another new samsung glyde! icon_mad.gif But unfortunately I took the glyde to the verizon place and got it fixed and resolved. They've fixed my phone and added the calibration in the touch settings. And since they took care of my problems with the glyde, I ain't NEVER had no touch screen problem no more. It's now working properly! They won't charge you for that. No hassles and no more complaints about my phone. I say again, if you are having problems with your touch screen, take it to the verizon place and have them to fix the problem with your glyde and they'll add the calibration on your phone. After that you won't have to worry about your touch screen acting up all the time.

I was so glad I had gotten rid of my Motorola RAZR V3m and got another bbetter phone----Samsung Glyde! icon_biggrin.gif I like the touchscreen and the colored screen on the phone. The keyboard is small but it doesn't matter. It's still a better phone without the complaints. I like the ringtones and they sound real hot! icon_cool.gif I like the spectrum keypad sound too! icon_biggrin.gif I wouldn't trade this phone for another one. If you like Samsung, then hey, check out the Glyde! Thanks, Verizon, for creating the Samsung Glyde. icon_smile.gif
