Verizon is kicking off the summer fun by planning to launch the much-anticipated Samsung Glyde on May 9, following on HTC’s expected handset announcement on May 6. The Samsung U940 Glyde is the US variant of the Samsung F700 Croix with that full-body, pressure sensitive touchscreen and sliding QWERTY keyboard. Ever since it passed through the FCC, we’ve been waiting to get a crack at the Samsung Glyde. The full-HTML browser should make quick work of browsing the web with the Samsung Glyde’s 3G radio. Also word has it that the Samsung U940 Glyde will launch on May 9 with a $200 price tag on 2-year contract. A one-year contract gets you the Glyde for a still-manageable $370, while the outright purchase price will hit $420. Dont forget to make sure to get your wallet ready for that hefty price.
