The month of May sure is shaping up to be an exciting month indeed. To help kick off the summer season, Verizon is apparently planning to launch the much-anticipated Samsung Glyde on May 9, following on HTC's expected handset announcement on May 6.

I have a sad news to report to all the touchscreen device fans. In case you’ve wanted to grab the U.S. version of the Samsung F700 this Christmas, you’ll have to wait a little longer.

In addition, the user interface is also bit changed, but still relies solely on a finger rather than on stylus. The screen size and the full slide-out QWERTY keyboard remain unchanged, though. We don’t know the exact release date, but I guess Verizon will release it sooner rather than later… ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Samsung F700 coming to Verizon?Orange preparing the colorful collection for ChristmasSony Ericsson PlayStation phone coming by Christmas?Asus P550 coming to Vodafone as v1520Skype for Symbian is coming before Christmas!?
