Images and details of Samsung's replacement to the Verizon Glyde, the Samsung Rogue U960, have leaked out, with the touchscreen QWERTY slider expected to see a release on August 15th. First spotted in the wild earlier this month, the handset runs Samsung's TouchWiz 2.0 OS.

Full specifications for the phone are unconfirmed, but there's definitely a 3-megapixel camera with flash on the back, together with a microSD card slot on the side. It looks to be a reasonably thick device, though that's perhaps to be expected what with the keyboard-slide mechanism to accommodate.

There's also a 3.5mm headphones socket - on the side, though, rather than in our preferred position on the top or bottom - and widget-filled desktop. No word on pricing, though we'd expect to hear all the details in a couple of weeks time.

Both devices are about the same height, while Rogue is a tad wider and thinner.

We remind you that Rogue is Glyde's replacement and this QWERTY slider also packs a touchscreen display, TouchWiz 2.0 and a 3 megapixel camera with Flash at the back.

Samsung Rogue U960 features a sleek touchscreen. It supports CDMA 800/1900. Other features include a 3 megapixels camera, Bluetooth, GPS and a built-in MP3 player.

The new Samsung Rogue cell phone which replaces the Glyde, I hope the Verizon Samsung Rogue is much more reliable than the Glyde. New Samsung Phones - Samsung Rogue has Qwerty and TouchWiz, very nice to see a presentation of a touchwiz phone, TouchWiz interface responsive, carefully thought-out, superb QWERTY, Qwerty keyboard is my favorite feature! I'm interested in is the WiFi and the Flash UI.

What happens when you take the Samsung OmniaPro, improve its keyboard and the general look of the device, then strip it of its smartphone OS? You get the Verizon Rogue.

For those looking for the smartphone package without the smarts, it's a nice piece of kit. That QWERTY keyboard looks downright delicious, it's got a nicely sized AMOLED screen, and the autofocus on that 3 megapixel camera should make your on-the-go shots slightly less craptastic.

Oh well - if you're not the sort of person to get hung up on an OS, PhoneArena says you ought to be able to grab this guy come August 15th.

Can you use a Samsung Rant cell phone on the Verizon network even though its normally a sprint phone?

Just curious... I am having a hell of a time with my Samsung Verizon Glyde phone and it looks like the Rant fixes most of my Glyde complaints.

No, Verizon unfortunatly doesn't work off sim cards, so its impossible to unlock phones and make them Verizon if they aren't.
