my Samsung Corby Pro

Samsung Corby Pro B5310 also known as Samsung Genio Slide is a beautiful slider mobile phone with full QWERTY keyboard. It is a perfect Social Networking and Internet phone as it lets you access e mail services, social networks, IM clients, and other Internet activities.

I recently purchased a  Samsung Corby Pro (B5310) for 12,500 ($285). All I can say is: it’s one of the best phones I’ve ever owned! It isn’t a hi-end phone like the iPhone, or the Omnia 2 but it does deliver on the commonly used features people look for in a mobile device at an affordable price point… Something other mobile manufacturers have miserably failed at.

Samsung Corby Pro incorporates 2.8 inch QVGA touch screen display screen and together with full QWERTY keyboard, this Samsung phone is some real worth. It features 3.2 Megapixel camera with Video Recording, making it a decent substitution for camcorder. It offers you with robust music capabilities, with 16GB of expandable memory making it a mean machine for music.
Samsung Corby Pro B5310 offers you with powerful connectivity options which include Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE, WAP, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g , 3G HSDPA. It features A-GPS technology which makes it a complete Smartphone package with a price tag of 12,500 ($285) in India.
