The Samsung Corby, which we got a brief look at last week, has been officially announced and slated for a mid-September launch. Few of the rumoured specs were confirmed, but here they are, for posterity:
- Quad-band GSM connectivity with GPRS and EDGE
- 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen display
- Access to YouTube, MySpace and Facebook
- Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP
- MP3 player
- FM radio
- 2MP camera
- MicroSD card support
- 103 x 57 x 13 mm
- 92 grams
Facebook, MySpace and Twitter integration are all big parts of Samsung’s pitch, so this could easily find its way into the mid-range youth market, although it might take more than a few colourful battery doors and sexy curves to win over the iPhone loyalists. You’ll be able to pick up the Corby S3650 for 150 Euros when it’s available in a few weeks across Europe.
