    I purchased the Glyde the day it came out (May 9th) for $299 – $50 Mail-in rebate. Now that the price has lowered to $249 – $50 Mail-in rebate, I took my receipt back to the Verizon store that I purchased it from and they would not do anything about it! Eventually after the manager came out and I let him have it, he gave me a $50 credit on my bill. I wanted the credit back on my credit card, but at least I got something. Good luck to others trying this.

    I have the Glyde & I really like it.
    It’s a great texting phone but it is kinda weird when it takes pictures..yu take one with a touch button and it is kinda hard. Other than that I like it a lot.
