Samsung has announced (along with Samsung Galaxy Pro) a new model, Samsung S3850 Corby II, successor to their highly successful ‘Corby’ series. The new touchscreen phone is not Android based but a feature that packs almost all of the features that were there in earlier Corby series models along with few nice enhancements.
Corby II sports a 3.14 inch QVGA display, a 2MP camera (disappointment there 
), quad-band GSM/EDGE, microSD slot with support for up to 16GB memory expansion, Stereo FM radio, Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi, DNSe sound enhancement, SNS and more. The full specifications are listed in the table below.
