Rogers alone gets 4-inch, QWERTY slider phone
A previous report has now been confirmed, as Rogers confirmed getting the Samsung Galaxy S Glide on Thursday. The Canadian provider's Android 2.3-powered smartphone is a local exclusive and centers on a four-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen with a 480x800 resolution and its namesake sliding QWERTY keyboard. The phone also connects to Rogers' HSPA+ network at a faster 21Mbps.
The phone uses a 1GHz, dual-core Tegra 2 processor and has 4GB of built-in storage, though a microSD memory card slot allows for expansion. There is just one camera, on the rear, offering eight megapixels and video recording.
The Galaxy S Glide is now shipping for $150 CAD (about $146) on certain three-year voice and data contracts. It's currently shipping sooner than its US equivalent, the Captivate Glide for AT&T, which doesn't arrive until November 20.
