Hello everyone！
I'm new here and I'm not living in the US.
Glyde really arrested my eyes but I've no idea of how to get one.
What's more, I've been concerned about the price, cuz the price showed on Verizon.com is $199.99, and Amazon.com shows $140, while someone said $479 without
Well, is anyone here who could help me or just gimme some suggestion? Anything will be fine.
Thanks a lot!

1) Where do you live?
2) It'll cost $400+ without a 2 year contract
3) This phone is CDMA and you won't be able to use it on a carrier other than Verizon anyway... so I'm not sure what you plan on doing with it?

[labrador]

Well, first of all, thanks a lot!
I live in China, and I'm wondering that if Glyde could be sent here and decoded by some skilled-hand, so it will be able to be used here, just like what they did with iphone.
And, what if I ask some friend in the US to take this contract and then send Glyde to me? Does this work? If this works, how much will that be?
Thanks again!

Well, what if i take this 2 yr contact?
I mean, how much does it cost in all, with the contact?

Is Glyde a smartphone?

[Rob]

Its not a smartphone. Its $199 with 2 year contract I believe... but then you either have to pay monthly service or a hefty cancellation fee.

I just saw this, and I'm really confused.

If I take the 2-yr-contact for Glyde, and then give up the contact (maybe "break"). How much should I pay for the penalty？

It is usually a $175 to $275 cancellation fee.

You need to read the fine print......
