subject: Great Phones - The Samsung Corby [print this page] People from all walks of life use the cell phone today. Therefore, there are several mobiles that cater to the needs of requirements of a varied market. Some might need their cell phones to a portable entertainment device, while others might require it to be a portable internet connectivity device, and yet others might require the best of both worlds. Then, there are some cell phones that come up with features and services that actually make up a market. For example, Sony came up with the Walkman series, which proved that there was a market for the media playing cellphone, while Nokia came up with the N Series, which was basically tuned towards the market that wanted everything. Another cell phone that has created a market is the Samsung Corby.
The Corby is Samsung's endeavor to tap the young adult and young professional market. It has a number of features and services that make it one of the best phones available. It was launched by Samsung when the fad of touch phones had just become a bit hot. At the price range that it was available for, the Corby made a good buy for those who were looking for style, portable music player, and social connections like Facebook and Twitter apps inbuilt. It also has some unique apps that make it stand out amongst the others, like the zoom image feature. The zoom image feature does just what it is named for - zooming images. Also, the phone comes with some spare back covers, so the user can change them according to their choice - something else that really sets fire to the young adult market - customization.
The original Samsung Corby is a touch phone and is one of the cheap touch phones that are available today. The phone is a candy bar styled, with some bold notches on the sides, giving it the unique look, which is now being touted as the 'Corby' look.The phone also has a 2 MP camera and does give a good enough photo quality. However, there is no flash available with the camera, which might cause a problem for those who want to click photographs in bad weather conditions or during night time.
With the success of Corby, Samsung released quite a few models under the Corby brand name. These phones cater to almost all the needs and requirements that one might have from a cellular phone.
