Samsung Rogue Glyde2 Pictures

Images and details of Samsung's replacement to the Verizon Glyde, the Samsung Rogue U960, have leaked out, with the touchscreen QWERTY slider expected to see a release on August 15th. First spotted in the wild earlier this month, the handset runs Samsung's TouchWiz 2.0 OS.

Full specifications for the phone are unconfirmed, but there's definitely a 3-megapixel camera with flash on the back, together with a microSD card slot on the side. It looks to be a reasonably thick device, though that's perhaps to be expected what with the keyboard-slide mechanism to accommodate.

There's also a 3.5mm headphones socket - on the side, though, rather than in our preferred position on the top or bottom - and widget-filled desktop. No word on pricing, though we'd expect to hear all the details in a couple of weeks time.

Samsung Rogue U960 just got pictured next to Glyde, as you can see below, just 2 weeks before its official launch on Verizon (August 15th).

The specs list is rounded up by geo-tagging, Bluetooth connectivity and an MP3 player, which are pretty basic features, but we're waiting for more official details before judging this device.

Samsung expects to launch the Samsung Rogue U960, as known as Verizon Glyde 2 via Verizon Wireless, is an advanced slide phone with full QWERTY keyboard capability. Samsung Rogue U960 features a sleek touchscreen. It supports CDMA 800/1900. Other features include a 3 megapixels camera, Bluetooth, GPS and a built-in MP3 player.

The new Samsung Rogue cell phone which replaces the Glyde, I hope the Verizon Samsung Rogue is much more reliable than the Glyde. New Samsung Phones - Samsung Rogue has Qwerty and TouchWiz, very nice to see a presentation of a touchwiz phone, TouchWiz interface responsive, carefully thought-out, superb QWERTY, Qwerty keyboard is my favorite feature! I'm interested in is the WiFi and the Flash UI.

What happens when you take the Samsung OmniaPro, improve its keyboard and the general look of the device, then strip it of its smartphone OS? You get the Verizon Rogue.

For those looking for the smartphone package without the smarts, it's a nice piece of kit. That QWERTY keyboard looks downright delicious, it's got a nicely sized AMOLED screen, and the autofocus on that 3 megapixel camera should make your on-the-go shots slightly less craptastic.

Oh well - if you're not the sort of person to get hung up on an OS, PhoneArena says you ought to be able to grab this guy come August 15th.

The latest mobile phone from Samsung Electronics is practically the same height as the Glyde although a bit thicker.
