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...

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...

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.
