Q-Ball was a terrible name, but I'm not sure "Glyde" is any better. It doesn't sound good, doesn't make sense, and isn't that a brand of dental floss or something?
It makes a lot of sense. 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.
@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!"
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.
Who cares about the name, seriously? All I care about is the phone itself, its not like a "bad" name is going to ruin its quality.
