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?
Samsung adds CorbyTXT and CorbyPRO to Corby line
We'd figured the Corby (or Genio, if you prefer) was just a single model in Samsung's vast lineup that would soon be forgotten, but silly us -- it turns out the brand name's being spun into an entire range of products. Sammy's just added the CorbyTXT and CorbyPRO to the original model, bringing midrange portrait and landscape QWERTY options to complement the Corby's full touch configuration. Both feature a 3.5mm headphone jack for proper music enjoyment, but interestingly, only the CorbyPRO will have 7.2Mbps HSDPA; the CorbyTXT is left behind in the molasses-like world of EDGE. Look for the TXT to start showing up in stores this month with the PRO following on in November, and needless to say, you can expect both to be reasonably-priced. [Via GSMArena]
