I know, you're already in line to buy an enV2 at your local VZW store, and just killing time reading my blog until it's your turn at the register.  I'm not saying you shouldn't pull the trigger on that purchase, but I am saying if you're on the fence between LG's new messaging handset and something a little more powerful, you might want to hold off another week or so.

A few outlets are reporting that VZW is all set to launch the Samsung Glyde U940 in May, and Engadget Mobile's going so far as to pinpoint an exact date: Next Friday, May 9.

EM didn't say anything about pricing, but Unwired View is claiming Glyde will sell for $299 with a two-year contract and $429 without.  That sounds about right even though a few other things in their post seem a bit askew (like they were cribbed from the GSM F700's spec sheet, perhaps?).

You can get much more on the touchscreen and slide-out QWERTY Glyde in this blog post from last week.
