It was back in July when we first saw images of a Samsung phone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Fast forward 3 months and Samsung released it as the Captivate Glide. Priced at $149.99 on AT&T, this is a really nice deal. It comes with 4-inch (800 x 480) Super AMOLED display, A 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, 1GB RAM, 8MP rear camera that can record video up to 720p, 1.3MP front camera, 8GB internal storage, 1650mAh battery, 4G at 21.1Mbit/s and Android 2.3.5. It's priced the same as the Stratosphere on Verizon Wireless, but this offers a lot more for the money. I will do a more detailed review soon, but for now checkout my initial hands on review.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.

That is not a 5 row keyboard. There are only 4 rows… the numbers are accessed by holding the fn key (I assume) and re-using the top row.
