Introduction and design:
Less than a year ago low-entry cell phones equipped with touch-sensitive screens used to be scarcer than chicken teeth, but a number of cheap models like the Samsung Corby S3650 and LG Pop GD510 coming with said hardware feature are out for grabs now. Actually, the Samsung Genoa C3510 (also known as the Corby Pop) that has appeared on the market recently, was until now at the price bottom of the affordable range of handsets with touch screens.
Frankly, being the youngest and smallest member of a family is not always a great thing really (despite all the fairy tales that say the opposite). It´s quite obvious the manufacturer has made certain hardware compromises with the Samsung Corby 3G S3370 in order to decrease the production unit cost per unit, so true fans of high-tech gadgets would probably look down their noses at the 2.6-inch resistive screen with QVGA resolution of the phone. We have to admit, however, that the sensitivity of our prototype is quite good indeed, while at the same the small display size equates to a truly compact body.
The Samsung Corby 3G S3370 features a standard set of buttons. There is a microUSB port for charging and connecting the handset to a computer, but sadly, the 3.5mm headphone jack is conspicuous in its absence.
You shouldn’t expect a stunning build quality, of course. It´s not that the materials the phone is made from are bad really, but they make it feel cheap in your hand. We do like the slightly rugged pattern on its back that is, probably, merely ornamental.
