Samsung’s u960 Rogue for Verizon has best name ever; looks alright, too

Filed under: Handsets , Samsung , Verizon Wireless , EV-DO , CDMA The word “Rogue” conjures images of awesome X-Men characters, small Nissan SUVs, and badasses who don’t take crap from nobody — but QWERTY sliders on Verizon? We’ll admit, we didn’t see that one coming. The would-be Glyde replacement is apparently lined up for a release date around the 15th of August, and we’re seeing it now for the first time in pristine press shots following some in-the-wild action early in the month. We can tell already that it’s going to be a better-looking phone than its predecessor, and the word on the street is that it works as good as it looks; if anything, it’s a shame they didn’t just go ahead and slap WinMo on here and call it an Omnia Pro . Can’t win ‘em all, we suppose. Samsung’s u960 Rogue for Verizon has best name ever; looks alright, too originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Fri, 31 Jul 2009 08:19:00 EST.

Verizon-branded Samsung Glyde 2 becomes star in Blurrycam photoshoot

Filed under: Handsets , Samsung , Verizon Wireless Samsung’s launch of the Glyde was, well, far less than stellar — but hey, second time’s a charm, right? Shots have surfaced from HowardForums of what’s apparently the Glyde 2 / u960. Looks like we’ve got a more expansive keyboard that makes better use of space on the bottom slide out, some TouchWiz action on the screen, and unsurprisingly a nice, big Verizon logo just above the screen. Nope, we don’t have a release date or official confirmation of any sorts, so for now just hang tight on the farthest edge of your seat and feel free to browse the other shots of the device in the gallery below.
