What’s black, red, wears a Verizon badge, and looks just like the Samsung Glyde? The Samsung Glyde 2, of course!

Presumably in hopes of losing a friend or getting someone fired, HowardForums user StandardsDT waited for his in-the-know buddy to leave the room before going camera crazy.

Here’s what we know so far:

• It has a physical QWERTY keyboard, and the poster believes it has a touchscreen keyboard as well. The physical keyboard looks a good bit more cramped than that of the original Glyde.
• TouchWiz UI
• It has an accelerometer, but “it only works with certain applications like web.”
