The Captivate Glide from Samsung adds a slide-out QWERTY keyboard to the familiar look of Samsung’s Galaxy phones. It is fast, svelte, and has a great display.

Think of the Samsung Captivate Glide as a Captivate — or an Infuse 4G — with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It has the same rectangular loo, the same slippery plastics, and about the same footprint when held in the hand. It feels light — and cheap — in the hand, but isn’t egregiously thick. The materials used in Samsung’s Galaxy class devices continue to leave me unimpressed.
