Well, there is really only one exception: You prefer T9 or the Numberpad...
Anyway, what really turns me off about the Glyde is that there is no 5 way directional toggle? There seems to be that one button on the front of the phone only.
How am I supposed to play games like Tetris or Call of Duty 4?!?!
-_- My gag reflexes are kicking in.
there will probably be touch keys at the bottom of the screen?

I guess i would just have to try it which is obvious, but i just thought I could get a sense how much easier it is. Cause ultimately its between the Glyde or Iphone.
Last time he posted the pics, I think it was really late or really early in the morning. Haha
Maybe Woshi is taking 15-20 pics and a video review. Haha I dont think so.

It's definitely easier. I've heard some people say it's awkward, but I never thought so. If I were you, I'd try it first just in case you're one of those people who doesn't like it.

I was pessimistic at the first set of pics that came out (months ago). I thought it didn't look anywhere near as good as its GSM counterpart. But now I'm pleasantly surprised to see that they polished the Glyde up very nicely and its beginning to look like a great phone.
Darn, I was all set on getting the Curve when it drops, but now its looking more and more like I might have to check this bad boy out. Thank you for all the pics Woshi, they're greatly appreciated.
BTW, have you gotten any word on the new firmware update? What seems to be problematic with the phone that requires it?
One more: It looks like a high gloss shiny phone, does it fit well in the hand? Is it a fingerprint magnet? Does it slip from the hand easily?
