the samsung glyde sucks

my phone presses buttons even though no one is pressing its buttons

yes, that is my phone. when i got this phone in may of 2008, i was pretty happy. i had been waiting for this phone since november the previous year. why? well, all the other phones on verizon's line up sucked so i figured that i should at least wait for a decent phone. after looking up some upcoming phones, i found that the glyde was issued to come in a bit so i waited. 

it is the must unusual bugger. when it is in my pocket, it constantly vibrates due to the electrosensitive nature of its screen. when someone calls, i press receive but instead it disconnects the call. it take 2 minutes to get to a contact and call it, but that doesn't even guarantee that the call will go through: when i put the phone up to my cheek, again, the raging hormones that course through this phone disconnect the call. when messages arrive i cannot read them because instead of responding to my "read now" tap, it assumes that i, for some reason, would rather read 160 characters later rather than now. 

of course there are some good things about the phone such as that it's an appropriate shape to bludgeon someone with in the jugular. or that it collects fingerprints quite well on it's greasy surface for crime scene investigations. or that the utilitarian appealing back cover opens up easily enough for one to take out the battery when the phone freezes, or that the sporadic screen twitching goes well with travis barker's rendition of crank dat soulja boy. 

in anycase, this phone sucks. and verizon pulled it from their inventory. so us glyde owners are double screwed. yay for verizon.
