Corby II: The sequel to the masterpiece

The Samsung Corby II, a follow-up to the immensely successful Corby handset, is the perfect multimedia handset one would want to show off to friends and family. One can stand out in the crowd by virtue of its many stylish colour options. The 3.14 inch touch screen, with a slim profile, is not only very convenient but also easy to carry and handle. Also, one click is all it takes to get connected with the rest of the world, thanks to the instant Wi-Fi capabilities of the Corby II. Now, one can check news feeds, profiles of friends and acquaintances on social networking sites and chat on the multi Instant Messenger (Gtalk, Facebookk Chat, Yahoo and MSN).

The touch interface is not only attractive, but also more sensitive and improved. Just by gliding one's finger on the surface, one can get the feel of the new TouchWiz 3.0 user interface which allows for smooth operability, be it while browsing through the menu, or checking out the photographs. Also, to top it all, writing messages is also a whole lot easier, thanks to QuickType by T9 Trace; one just needs to slide the finger across the letters to write a message, e-mail, or just about anything!

Communication goes the QWERTY way with Samsung

QWERTY keyboards in mobile phones are pretty handy, simply because of the fact that not only do they assist in better messaging, but are also quite handy in browsing the internet, typing important e-mails, etc. The Samsung Corby Pro, with its user-friendly QWERTY keypad and hybrid design, combines the best of touch screen technology and user convenience with a 2.8 inch QVGA screen backed by 16 million colours. Adding to the stylish look factor, the diagonal colour contrast on the sides lends a striking visual appeal, while the streamlined shape is as ergonomic as can be, to fit in the palm of the hand in the most appropriate manner.

The Core Widgets feature give a one click access to the most useful applications like MySpace and Facebook, so that one can instantly network from anywhere. Also, the Conversational Message feature displays all the messages in a real view format, as if a real conversation were going on, lending the effect of Instant Messages to SMS'. Further, all messages from a person are grouped together for the creation of a linear conversation, so that the user can always keep track of the past. In the end, it would be certainly appropriate to say that the Corby Pro is one of the best mobile handsets available today.

A Galaxy of communication technology

Samsung's Galaxy Tablet smartphone has been making waves ever since its launch. Named quite appropriately (since it has a galaxy of features!), the device takes communication to the next level with support for Flash 10.1 on its large 7 inch screen that allows the user to experience the internet like never before. Animation, outstanding internet applications, games, and a whole lot of multimedia opens up with the prowess of technology. For those who like to read a lot, the Readers Hub gives all the support to read the e-versions of newspapers, books, magazines, etc. Also, owing to the large screen, the experience is much better than that on a regular handset.

Communication using the latest 3G technology is incomplete without the facility of video calling, and the Samsung Galaxy smartphone allows one to interact with multiple users, since the large screen allows for better viewing. Also, all the online contacts can be organised and synchronised in a better manner with the Social Hub. E-mail, SNS, IM and SMS information can be combined in a single box, and e-mails can be viewed in a split screen layout. To sum it all up, the Galaxy Tablet smartphone is a truly unique communication device that is a must-buy in every sense of the word.

Next is Nexus!

There are very few smartphones in the present times that so seamlessly combine technology to create value-added features to make the lives of users easier, and The Samsung Nexus S, with its feature rich interface, gets the work done faster and in a better manner.

It is the basic function of a mobile handset to facilitate communication, but the Nexus S smartphone goes one step beyond by offering the option of calling (or video calling) via SIP or VoIP, resulting in better connections across the world at very economical calling rates. Operability takes a new high with options of Instant Copy and Paste as well as a dedicated camera/video switch that allows for better stills videos. Talking of videos, one can also watch HD quality video content 2 times faster than earlier Samsung handsets (which were already pretty fast!). Applications also initiate faster with practically no lag time for instant, one touch, access to everything.

Game-play on the Nexus S goes to another level, transcending the borders of what was deemed possible for smartphones, as the high-end graphics and provision for 3D graphics (thanks to fast processing) results in an outstanding gaming experience. Also, one can utilise the YouTube App for Android users to watch virtually infinite videos.

Samsung Apps: Your handset is now much more than plain talk

With the internet coming to the small screen (the mobile screen), there have been a lot of interesting additions. Samsung Apps, one of the most innovative platforms for the same, opens a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to the brand's top of the line mobile handsets, and there is a lot more than information on offer. For instance, the Old Photo Pro software gives an 'old' rendition to an image, i.e., how would an image have looked if it was clicked many years ago. The effects applied are much deeper than just colour transition into sepia, and the picture really looks old. What's more, one can even do manual editing and change the saturation, film colour, paper type, etc.

If one does not like the available themes on a Samsung smartphone, the SQTheme App fetches a multitude of interesting desktop wallpapers and their corresponding themes to give a new look to the Samsung handset everyday! Coming towards more serious stuff, i.e., work and productivity, the Picsel Smart Office App makes viewing and editing of Acrobat pdf files, photographs, images, and MS Office files in the following extensions – .docx, .doc, .xlsx, .xls, .pptx and .ppt, along with the Rich Editor that allows for changing of fonts, colours, formatting, etc.
