Samsung Corby S3650 Touchscreen Phone S3650 Social Networking Handset Targets 'Youth Market'

Samsung have confirmed that they are set to specifically target the
youth market – or, rather, appeal to 'the digitally connected
lifestyles of today's young mobile users' – with the up and coming
release of the Samsung Corby S3650 touchscreen phone which, apart from
offering 'full touch' functionality, also aims to entice the younger
consumer with integrated social network support taking in the likes of
Facebook, Twitter and MySpace whilst additionally offering Pop-up SNS
(Social Networking Service) notification for immediate status updates.

Set to commence shipping across Europe later this month (September '09)
the Quad-band GSM/EDGE Samsung Corby S3650 sports a 2.8 QVGA screen
touchscreen with haptic feedback whilst running the Samsung's Touchwiz
UI allowing for use of widgets and broad customisation via drag and drop
as well as offering features first seen on premium handsets like the
Samsung Jet such as 'one finger zoom' and 'smart unlock' –
allowing for zooming with a single digit and locking the handset simply
by 'drawing a letter on the screen'.

Naturally, in being aimed at the youth market, you can also factor in an
inbuilt media player as well as a 2 megapixel camera (allowing for yet
more inane photos to be uploaded to social sites) as well as a WAP
browser and there's also Bluetooth with A2DP allowing the Corby S3650 to
be hooked up wirelessly to Bluetooth headphones and/or speaker systems.
There's also a microSD card slot facilitating bolt-on extra storage
capacity though, at this juncture, we're in the dark as to the out of
the box memory capacity of the device.

The Samsung Corby S3650, which will be offered in a suitably garish
range of color schemes taking in orange and (of course) pink to name but
two (the phone will actually come bundled with two Fashion Jackets), is
set to retail for around the 150EUR price point and, at the time of
writing, appears to be set for a European release only.
