I've typed on my dad's Galaxy SII before and I really suck badly at it, so I'm thinking about going with a slider phone.
Obviously, the SIII has better hardware (1.5Ghz instead of 1GHz, 2GB RAM instead of 1GB, 16GB flash vs. 8GB, 720p screen resolution vs. 480p, 1080p video vs. 720p, slower camera) but I think all of these can be absorbed by the $150 saved by going with the Captive Glide.
On the other hand, I live in an area that supports 4G LTE and I've seen reports that its much faster (around an order of magnitude) than the slower 4G standard that the Glide supports. My friend told me, though, that he turns off 4G anyway to preserve battery life.
I've also seen a lot of reports on the web that the Glide battery life is short.
The real decision factors are battery life, typing comfort and Internet speed IMO.
I've never had a smartphone. Given these criteria can you please tell me which one of the phones you recommend?
Thanks
