Samsung has announced the launch of two new "Corby" branded devices in India. The phones in question are the Corby Plus B3410 and Corby Pro B5310.
The Corby Plus is known simply as the Corby B3410 in other markets. In India, Samsung seems to have decided on the "Corby" brand name for the phone, thanks to its popularity.
The first "Corby" branded phone, the S3650, has seen a decent amount of sales in the country, so far.
The Corby Plus and the Corby Pro, both, boast of slide-out QWERTY keypads and seems to be targeted at the young audience who would like to be in constant touch with their friends through various means. Both the devices come with Facebook, Twitter and MySpace widgets in the TouchWiz sidebar.
On the features front, the slightly higher end Corby Pro boasts of GPS, Wi-Fi, a decent 3.2 megapixel camera and double the amount of memory than in the "original" Corby - 100MB. A 3.5 mm jack too finds its way in. The Corby Pro is priced at Rs. 13,900.
As for the Corby Plus, it's slightly down the price ladder and comes sans GPS and Wi-Fi. The camera too has been scaled down to 'just' a 2 megapixel unit. The 3.5mm jack, however, still remains. The Corby plus will set you back by Rs. 10,500.
actually Kishan Kamat it rocks but the touch screen dies quickly so u need a hard grab + full time care but its dope in my opinion ( note : im using this cell for almost 6 months and still but u need to take a very good care of it... )
Corby Plus B3410's PARLINGO application is very nice.
In one application all mail/ chat [yahoo, gtalk, orkut, facebook, and aol and many more] can be possible..
Vary easy and fast to reply the chating using QWERT keyboad and wide screen.
this corby is very vest mobile and screen also not comfortable i took this handset before six mounth and now its not working and servise also very vest.

Hi Ajit, Myself Rajesh from Rajkot. I am planning to buy a samsung i780. do you use this model. if yes, then can you please advice about its features and drawbacks if any.
hi this is anuj
i m a retail outlet in jabalpur (M.P)
i want to knw tha what is the message capacity of corby pro
b'coz most of my customers wants large msg capacity
even though this cell is stylish but there no 3G facility as well as no wlan in this model and pixel is only 2 mp ..
update this configuration sir please........
Late on techtre.. Though its good news for indian consumers.. corby pro is the phone i am eagerly waiting after iphone.. Its really a feature rich phone.. price 14k is also reasonable but young executives can buy more than the college goers.
dude use both nokia and samsung for 1 year and then talk...nokia's symbian gets all virus infected and is damn slow as compared to samsung's OS..no virus , super fast
the best ones are finally out...fully equiped with wifi
samsug rox!!
the pries are just the MRPs and surely u can get a discount of upto rs. 1500 if u go for bargain
