Review: Samsung Glyde

May 8th, 2008

I can’t even begin to tell you how long I’ve been waiting for this particular phone to reach the US. I was completely enamored with it, the F700, when I first saw the press release more than a year ago. This was back in February and then I finally got a chance to play with [...]

It’s official. Review coming shortly. I hate when embargoes get broken. Quick spec list after the jump.

You remember that one, right? We told you it’d be coming. Motorola will also be offering a couple new handsets with [...]

Samsung u940 passes through FCC

December 20th, 2007

Look who showed up on the FCC. If it isn’t the CDMA version of the F700, the u940. You remember this little guy, right? We were the first to tell you it was coming and now it’s one step closer to being realized. Could there be an official announcement at CES? Maybe.
