If this were a smart phone, I'd totally agree. Put a 2.0MP camera on the next iPhone (okay, I get it, its smart phone status is controversial), the next iteration of the BlackJack line and there'd be a problem. But this, this seems to be okay.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 1:39PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/Apr 22nd 2008 2:28PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/
OMG, Where do I start?? I was waiting for someone to tell me to go and get a digital camera, how predictable. I already own a point and shoot as well as a DSLR, but I can't wait for the day when I can finally put aside the point and shoot. While nothing can replace my nice Nikon D300, who wants to carry around a non DSLR camera when you can have it in your celly? My cell phone camera has really come in handy in all kinds of situations. Obviously you don't expect much from your gadgets but I sure as hell do. Why have just a cell phone when you can have a smartphone, camera, and mp3 player all in one?

As for your typing, spelling and atrocious ALL CAPS, well...

Besides a 5MP phone will cost more then a 2MP phone, and not a lot of people will shell out more dollars because it has a "nice camera", plus it most cost samsung more money to put a higher megapixel camera on a phone, and thats money they don't want to spend if they don't have too.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 3:41PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/
Don't get me wrong, I'm with you on the situation. I hate seeing phones with 2MP as a standard. Give me some 3.2MPs or something. But you gotta think about their target audience.

If you're gonna go buy a Samsung G810, you bought it for it's 5MP camera with 3X optical zoom, WiFi, GPS, etc.

You can't just expect every phone to come in blazing high-end features because majority of the population wouldn't use a 5MP camera on their phone as much as you or I would. ]]>Apr 22nd 2008 11:00PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/Apr 22nd 2008 10:20AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/Apr 22nd 2008 10:29AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/Apr 22nd 2008 11:26AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/Apr 22nd 2008 12:59PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/Apr 22nd 2008 1:12PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/
However, with all of the new devices being released by the end of the year I think I would prefer to wait it out. Vu, 3G iPhone, Dare (VX9700), Android devices, etc. Too many other good phones coming out for me to jump on the Glyde when it is finally released.

my current phone is starting to crap out on me and I really want to wait for the glyde...

Does any have a list that compares the 2 phones in terms of features, etc...]]>Apr 22nd 2008 4:48PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/Apr 22nd 2008 5:28PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/but, at least it's beginning to improve!
Oh, why can't this phone just come out already...]]>Apr 22nd 2008 9:32PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/It's going to be a few years before camera phones can actually take photos that are print worthy, unless you have no eye for photos and would want to print what you shoot from your camera now. If that's the case, enjoy. ]]>Apr 23rd 2008 8:20AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/Jun 6th 2008 7:54PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/Apr 23rd 2008 7:34PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/Apr 28th 2008 7:40PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/22/shortage-of-samsung-glyde-eye-candy-solved/
Sick of waiting for the Glyde, I'm currently testing out the Voyager - the biggest issue I have with the Voyager is that they *stupidly* put the space 'bar' as buttons on the side of the keyboard! WTF?

Can anybody who uses any of these Verizon gadgets say if there is *any* way to truly multitask and hotswitch between, say, IM and email? Or hey, even a way to leave email running when you go to another app? (The lack of push email, coupled with it quitting whenever you switch away, is *really* an issue.)
