Samsung Corby S3650 Mobile Phone

Samsung has accustomed us to target mobile phone users closer to their concerns, and the Corby S3650, or simply Corby (the TXT Corby and Corby Pro coming soon) are no exception to the rule. The mobile primarily comes with a touch screen for teenagers demand and is compatible with most community sites. All in a deliberately young dress. It is clearly seen. But the device responds to the expectations?

To strike hard at the outset, the builder has put it in a pretty box almost three cubic shell color. We had, for this test, the trio yellow, yellow and black silk screen, but Samsung promises more colors later. Black model is just too good. Black model is the one who deserves a generous pinch of imagination.

Anyway, the object is quite nice and fits comfortably in hand. In back, there is a camera without flash, while the volume buttons and the shutter sit on the sides, like a push lock. But no headphone jack, Samsung sticking to one of its proprietary connectors to do everything charging, audio and USB.

A touch screen like the iPhone

Just insert a SIM card. We also discover, under the microSD slot, the support for up to 8 GB of additional memory where you can store a lot of clips and photos. After startup, it falls on the office menu of Samsung, with sidebars containing the widgets.

In fact, a study on three pages, pages that are plucking of some fingers, and although Samsung does not promote the screen of Corby is sensitive and need to support enough contacts. This type of screen, unlike the touch screen on which you must press (possibly with good old pen) makes all the difference if one really wants to use his phone on his finger.

In short, the Corby has a screen of similar technology as that of the iPhone, although its operating system does not support the motion with two fingers (multitouch). It is not found then never be in doubt for having determined his action: the contact is recorded and, if nothing is found then the Corby is not always highly reactive.

The recreational uses of honor

Moving quickly on the functions essential but conventional dormant under the hood of this little mobile. First, the data link. No 3G, it will simply Edge (less than 200 Kb/s really). Adequate for mail activities, including community applications, but not for Web or YouTube. Warning: as long as your operator does not cover your area so that it provides 3G, you "fall" in GPRS (40 Kb/s).

There is also a camera of 2 MP, to develop fixed and without flash, but with smile detection. The quality is not brilliant but it is obviously not what Samsung was looking for. To treat his young audience, the manufacturer has, in fact, provided a series of treatments and deformation of the image to be applied after shot. Giggles guaranteed! In addition to these recreational uses FM radio and MP3 music playback, the latter being decorated with a submit button, Bluetooth, listen to the song.
