Expert say that the addition of the Samsung Glyde to Verizon's portfolio is targeted towards AT&T Mobility and its iPhone subscriber magnet. Verizon Wireless hopes that by providing consumers with affordable, large-screen alternatives to the iPhone, AT&T Mobility’s most popular device's drawing power may be decreased. the wireless network may be attempting to use the Samsung Glyde's tactile feedback on the touchscreen and a physical QWERTY keypad to overcome the weaknesses of Apple's hit mobile phone.
