Improved Social Networking with new SAMSUNG Corby II

Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation had just announced the arrival of the Corby II handset with an improved access to social networking sites and an enhanced touch screen display.

“We are building on the success of Samsung’s first Corby device with a colorful design, enhanced social networking capability, and an intuitive touch screen interface” said Glenn Glinoga, Director of Samsung’s Mobile Communications Business, SEPCO . He added: “The Corby II is designed perfectly for consumers looking to express their personality and stay connected.”

Samsung Corby II follows the spirit of the original Samsung Corby on colors. Available with a range of bold colors (Festival Yellow, Candy Pink and Chic White), the handset is an extension of the user’s lifestyle. The stylish design is slim at 11.7mm, equipped with a 3.14" display that provides the ideal viewing experience for staying connected. It is a functional and fashionable handset that allows users to express themselves in color.

Mobile users who are always on-the-go don’t have to sacrifice their social lives; instead, they can use the device’s integrated Social Hub to stay in touch with friends via SMS messaging, email or social networking services. The device also has mFluent built-in, allowing for instant messaging via a variety of platforms – including Facebook chat, Yahoo Messenger and Gtalk.

Aside from that, Facebook and Twitter platforms are preloaded on the device and other widgets can be easily downloaded. E-mail is also easy to set up and manage, while the platform synchronizes to ensure that the user’s most recent updates are on the device. Wi-Fi provides an always-on connection and fast data transfer for easy information sharing on-the-go.

Samsung Corby II’s enhanced touch interface will deliver a new, intuitive experience to Corby II users. TouchWiz enables multiple home screens and a smooth, easy-to-use menu that’s seamless to navigate. The device is a feature phone but it will feel like it has a smartphone interface since it allows users to read and reply to text messages without needing to quit a current task. The QuickType by t9 Trace is two to three times faster than standard typing and supports more than 75 languages, delivering a more convenient typing experience while reducing input error.

The Corby II handset will be available in mid April at all Authorized Samsung Mobile Dealers nationwide at very affordable price.
