MANILA, Philippines - With the growth of online communities and social networking sites, today’s youth are expanding their ways of staying connected.
Keeping this in mind, Samsung introduced two new phones — the CorbyTXT (B3210), and the B3410. Patterned after the successful launch of the Samsung Corby (S3653) in the third quarter of this year, these new phones are designed to enhance the young consumers’ messaging experience.
Built with ergonomically-design qwerty keypads and pop-up social networking site messaging, these new phones allow for quick and easy messaging online and status updating. Plus, updates posted online by friends can be automatically pushed to a user’s mobile.

And, for SMS fanatics, the new threaded message feature of these phones allows for viewing the entire SMS conversation on the screen.
And as if these were not enough, the New CorbyTXT, and B3410 phones are all equipped with either two or three megapixel cameraa and communities application that enable the capturing of photos and instantly uploading to one’s Facebook, Friendster, Flickr and other popular online communities.
