VERDICT: Lacks quite a few things that the cheaper S3650 was equipped with.
FOR: Light weight, comfortable design, TV app works well, decent audio quality.
AGAINST: Struggles with standard mobile video formats.
There’s no diff erence between the
Corby S3650 and the Corby TV. It’s
still a light weight handset at 90g
with a 2.8-inch capacitive touchscreen
that sports a resolution of 240 x 320
pixesl. The camera and screen lock key
are one side and the volume/zoom keys
along with the proprietary all-in-one port.
This time around, Samsung has included a
3.5 mm adapter so you can use your own
set of earphones. The microSD card is just
under the interchangeable rear panel.
Samsung’s TouchWiz UI works out just
fi ne although sometimes it seemed quite
unresponsive when it came to making a
selection. It is however easy to navigate
with multiple desktops with plenty of drag
and drop widgets. A QWERTY keypad has
also been added but unfortunately the
option to change the menu orientation to
landscape seems to have been done away
with. This makes it a bit awkward to use
the QWERTY keypad.
The Corby TV is a CDMA device which
implies super speed connectivity from
browsing to watching Live TV via the
MimobiTV Mobile TV app. This app comes
with a quite a few channels that range
from news to movies and soaps. Kids
channels like Pogo and Cartoon Network
are also provided.
