Samsung Corby Folder official, just for Korea so far
Samsung's Corby line has a reputation as a fun, simple, cheap, colorful range of handsets, and that trend looks to continue now that the Corby Folder has gone official -- in the domestic South Korean market, anyway. The first Corby with a hinge keeps it relatively simple (by Korean standards) with a 2.6-inch QVGA display, 3G data (HSPA or EV-DO Rev. A depending on the carrier), Bluetooth, microSD expansion, a 3 megapixel camera, and naturally, DMB mobile TV reception. It looks like it's available now on SKT, LGT, and KT in your choice of Candy Pink, Lime Green, and Blue Black (which is an oxymoron, as far as we know) -- no word, though, on when we might see versions in other markets.
Samsung not done with Corby line yet, working on Folder model next
Samsung must absolutely love the thick gobs of profit it's making off its Corby models because it's wasted no time in building the line from a single device to an entire range of colorful, fun-loving handsets -- and the next to get roped in looks to be this SCH-W930, aptly named "Corby Folder." The model's destined only for Korea so far (you can tell from that SK Telecom logo in the upper right corner) with a 2.6-inch display, 3 megapixel cam, Bluetooth, microSD expansion, and -- like virtually all domestic South Korean phones -- DMB TV tuning. Following Corby tradition, it looks like it'll be available in a variety of two-tone schemes, but we don't have an exact date or price just yet so we're afraid your now-ancient Corby POP is going to have to tide you over for a few more days.
