Samsung Genio Slide slips onto Vodafone
Samsung's Genio Slide -- or CorbyPRO -- has just popped up on Vodafone's site for the sweet price of £free. The Genio starts its retail career as a QWERTY-sliding, 3.2 megapixel camera-toting, HSDPA-blessed Vodafone exclusive, but with these specs, we'd wager it'll stretch its legs soon -- though, not like as far as North America as it lacks the 850 / 1900 HSDPA we need and love. This new Corby also comes loaded with a large touchscreen, a bevy of messaging and social apps, Bluetooth, GPS, and a weak 120MB of RAM that can -- and must -- be upgraded to as much as 16GB. If you do pick one up, hit us up with your thoughts in the comments -- we're all about first-hand experience, don't ya know?
Vodafone nabbing Sony Ericsson X2 in November, Samsung Corby as 'Genio'
Vodafone UK never seems to have a shortage of exciting new models in the pipeline; right now they've got no fewer than eight biggies listed on their Coming Soon page, and while we wouldn't necessarily categorize every last one as "exciting," there are a couple doozies in there. Besides the HTC Tattoo that we mentioned earlier, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 is following on a month later in November holding down Windows Mobile 6.5 with its positively mind-bending customized home screen. Also notable is the Samsung "Genio," known globally as the recently-announced Corby -- Samsung intended it as an entry-level full-touch phone for the younger crowd, and to that end, Voda looks to be selling it on prepaid. It's gotta be a tough call deciding what to buy next for subscribers, but if you ask us, that's a positively awesome problem to have. [Via CoolSmartPhone]
