Samsung Glyde 2: Image Leak Boogaloo

Topic:

The Samsung Glyde 2 probably won't come out for the Verizon network for a few more months. Until very recently we had absolutely no info about this new smartphone at all. Thankfully, the friend of a Verizon employee snapped a photo of his buddy's handset and sent it over to Boy Genius, who promptly spread it to the world.

I've got to say, the Glyde 2 is one of the best looking Samsung phones I've ever seen. It's got a nice, big touchscreen (I'd say 3.5-4”) that looks like it's OLED or AMOLED. It also has a sliding four row keyboard, which is almost enough to make me consider cheating on Android for this baby. Sources also indicated that it has a TouchWiz UI and a built-in accelerometer, plus an on-screen QWERTY keyboard as well.
