Overview
Mobile phones are the most popular high-tech device, and the Samsung Genio Touch mobile phone is a colourful choice for those who want to connect in style. The Samsung Corby S3650 is a touch screen phone aimed at fans of micro social networking sites, such as Twitter or Facebook. Based around a 2.8in, 320 x 240 touchscreen the Corby will allow regular tweeters to update their status on the move. The phone is aimed squarely at the cheaper end of the market targeting younger phone users. Advertising has been focused on colour and style more so than functionality.
The phone is available in an array of rather bright and curiously named colours such as:
- Jamaican Yellow
- Cupid Pink
- Minimal White
- Festival Orange
The Genio Touch allows the trend-conscious to change the bi-colour Fashion Jackets according to their mood at the time. And this phone is equipped with a Cartoon User Interface to make talking, texting, and accessing the internet a fun experience. Not only is the Genio Touch stylish, but it is specially designed for a firm grip so you don’t drop your phone while having fun.
Samsung includes some easy-to-use widgets that allow you to login to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other social networking sites with ease. The Pop-up SNS newsfeed keeps you continuously aware of what your friends are doing in real time. And you can just as easily send your updates to Facebook, Twitter and other microblogging sites. You can also upload content to seven popular social media websites – Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, Friendster and Photobucket.
Features
To keep your phone secure, Samsung equipped the Genio Touch with a Smart Unlock feature. You can easily unlock your phone in three different ways – a regular unlock, an unlock with speed dial, and an unlock that runs an application.
The advanced TouchWiz screen actually touches you back with programmed vibrations that react to your actions when using the touch screen. There are 27 widgets included with the Genio Touch and you can download an additional 75 widgets to use with the touch screen.
One great feature of this mobile phone is that you can quickly zoom the screen image to 2x with a simple touch.
Genio Touch’s 2 MP camera has Smile Detection that only snaps the shot when the subjects are smiling. The camera is also equipped with digital zoom for close-ups, and Panorama Shot for wide scenic views. With 50 MB of memory and an optional 8 GB microSD expansion card there is plenty of room for high-definition photos.
The phone’s memory also allows you to store a wide selection of your favourite music files. The Find Music feature lets you find and fetch songs in seconds from a remote server. The music finder only needs a few seconds of a song to identify the artist, album, genre and track.
A Bluetooth v2.1 headset allows you to speak via a wireless connection to your phone and to listen to your audio files or to digital radio without the need of an earphone wire. You can also access your PC and printer wirelessly and securely.
If you ever need to spell a word or to get a definition, the Genio Touch comes equipped with a mobile dictionary with support in eight languages – English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Ukrainian and Portuguese. The actual availability of language support though will depend on which country you live in.
You can find the Samsung Genio Touch at Samsung electronics retailers across the UK, and you can also purchase it online at the official Samsung Shop.
The phone is a stylish handset with special appeal for young people and with features focused on enabling the user to access social media. At the time of writing. The Samsung website offers the handset free with a 24 month contract on the O2 network with 600 minutes per month and unlimited texting for £25.00 line rental per month.
