Like every maker out there, Samsung are keen to keep users coming back for more. But serving, inspiring and entertaining todays crowd is not enough it seems. So the next step is raising future Samsung users. The S3650 Corby is tech-savvy and fresh - j...

It can be rather difficult for a handset maker to produce something that appeals to young people. Do it wrong, as most companies do, and it all looks incredibly patronising and uncool.Samsung, fortunately, seems to be pretty good at appealing to everyo...

At the low-end of the market, LG and Samsung are battling it out with a range of small, sexy and pretty well featured touchscreen devices. Samsung has come up with the Genio Touch (a Genio Qwerty offers up a more traditional phone experience with a key...

With touchscreens ten-a-penny, you’d be forgiven for overlooking this budget blower. The Samsung Genio Touch is cheap, feels tackier than a hen weekend in Blackpool, and lacks the specs of even its most downmarket finger-friendly rival. But to do so wo...

It's pretty evident from the three swappable covers included in the box and the social networking widgets loaded on the phone that Samsung is targeting the 'yoof' market with the Genio Touch. As the name suggests this handset is designed to be driven alm...

The Samsung Genio Touch is by no means perfect. It's disappointing that a phone that's targeted at social network users lacks 3G and it's maddening that Samsung hasn't include an onscreen QWERTY keyboard. In other areas, however, it puts in a good showing...

for Samsung Genio Bear in mind that the Samsung Genio is an entry-level phone, and therefore cannot be judged alongside higher-spec, more expensive phones. So we overlooked the fact that there's no 3G data speeds, and the very basic camera and focused...

The Corby is a hip, entry-level touch-screen phone aimed squarely at urban youth. It has a nice range of multi-media and social-networking functions but falls short on a few fundamentals. The 2.8-inch touch-screen is a great feature. It has haptic feed...

Design The Corby may not be the sharpest looking tool in the shed, but don't forget its low price tag. For your AU$180 you get a solidly built plastic handset with a 2.8-inch capacitive touchscreen. The screen has a QVGA resolution, meaning it will lo...

The Corby is excellent value, matching a very usable touchscreen mobile with a bargain bin price tag. If you're spending under AU$200, the Corby should be on your list to compare.

In a bid to prove that it's down with the kids Samsung launched the Genio range in the latter half of 2009, marked by its bright fascias and mid-range functionality. With their nu-rave aesthetic, they are handsets that wouldn't look out of place in an...

Aside from the eye-catching design, the Genio Touch is very middle-of-the-road. There are things about the handset we like, but we find ourselves constantly pointing out that they could be better, could be faster, could be easier to use. We'd like to s...
