The name "Glyde" is in reference to the keyboard that "glides" open and closed.  How does that not make 100 times more sense than "Q-Ball," which relates to this phone's form factor in no way what so ever?  "Glyde" is a MUCH better and much more sensible name.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 25th 2008 4:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon wisely renames the Samsung U940 to "Glyde"]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/25/verizon-wisely-renames-the-samsung-u940-to-glyde/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/25/verizon-wisely-renames-the-samsung-u940-to-glyde/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Sean - sure, but every other phone these days is a slider phone. "Glyde" says almost nothing about what makes this phone unique. It's a finger-touch phone with a QWERTY keyboard - that's a big deal. A sensible name would have alluded to that. Marketing the slider mechanism as the star attraction is - these days - like saying "HEY LOOK, it's a phone you can TALK on! Wow!"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rich]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 25th 2008 8:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon wisely renames the Samsung U940 to "Glyde"]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/25/verizon-wisely-renames-the-samsung-u940-to-glyde/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/25/verizon-wisely-renames-the-samsung-u940-to-glyde/</guid><description><![CDATA[I completely agree that it's not the best name for this phone, but it definitely makes sense.  What else could they have named it that related more to the design itself?  The Touch?  Taken.  The Croix?  Chances are that UI won't be there.  The Black[insert rest of name here]?  RIM sues people for names like that.  Face it, the "Glyde" is the best they could do with what was still available as far as I'm concerned.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 25th 2008 11:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon wisely renames the Samsung U940 to "Glyde"]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/25/verizon-wisely-renames-the-samsung-u940-to-glyde/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/25/verizon-wisely-renames-the-samsung-u940-to-glyde/</guid><description><![CDATA[Who cares about the name, seriously?

Rumors abound on this handset.  Whether or not it will run the famed Samsung Croix OS, or the same ol' Verizon OS.  Or if it will use a Verizon OS that mimicks to some degree the Croix UI.  <br><br>Then there is the browser issue.  Many people are leaning toward a WAP browser based on OLD photos of a phone that was being beta tested some months back.  Most are pulling for HTML support.  <br><br>This is even one unsubstantiated rumor that has been "confirmed" (by the poster himself) that the phone will be released on 3/25 and will retail for $249 w/ a 2 year contract.  Again, there has been nothing at all to legitimize this claim, but it is out there.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[xB Owner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 25th 2008 7:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon wisely renames the Samsung U940 to "Glyde"]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/25/verizon-wisely-renames-the-samsung-u940-to-glyde/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/25/verizon-wisely-renames-the-samsung-u940-to-glyde/</guid><description><![CDATA[That didn't take long... there's already a fan site at <a href="http://samsungglide.com" rel="nofollow">http://samsungglide.com</a><br><br>It may not be as good as the voyager but it will also be less expensive I'm guessing. Also, there are a lot of faithful samsung fans... people who have had samsungs in the past and just lovem. This phone gets them to stick around instead of trying out an LG. Just one man's opinion.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[trigatch4]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 27th 2008 3:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon wisely renames the Samsung U940 to "Glyde"]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/25/verizon-wisely-renames-the-samsung-u940-to-glyde/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/25/verizon-wisely-renames-the-samsung-u940-to-glyde/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'd rather have the enV2 than this phone.
