Samsung Glyde U940 Verizon / Page Plus CDMA, Factory Refurbished
Factory Refurbished under its -RB SKU, this listing is the Samsung Glyde U940, the 3G 2-megapixel Touchscreen Qwerty Keyboard phone for Verizon and Page PLUS CDMA service. Collectors and prop houses buy the Glyde as a working example of a 2008 Verizon touchscreen slider; it cannot be activated on any US carrier today.
The Samsung Glyde, SCH-U940, is a 2008 Verizon touchscreen messaging phone: a 2.8-inch 240 x 440 touch display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 2 MP camera, microSD expansion up to 8 GB, Bluetooth for headsets and stereo audio, and GPS for VZ Navigator. It ran on Verizon's CDMA network with EV-DO data for V Cast music and video, and it was sold through Verizon and later on Page Plus. It has no LTE and no GSM radio. TG Wireless sells the Glyde to collectors of pre-smartphone touch devices, prop houses dressing a late-2000s scene, and parts buyers, not to activation dealers.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The Glyde U940 is a CDMA and EV-DO phone for Verizon and Page Plus with no LTE, no VoLTE, and no GSM radio, so it has had no network since Verizon retired CDMA on December 31, 2022; see the network status line in the table. It cannot be activated on any US carrier today, and it has no GSM mode for export. Realistic uses are collectors of early touchscreen phones, film and TV props set in the late 2000s, display units, and parts.
Resale fit
- Collectors of pre-smartphone touchscreen and QWERTY slider phones.
- Film, TV, and stage prop houses dressing a 2008 to 2012 scene with a working-looking Verizon phone.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and retail displays.
