Hello friends, I have this mobile & I love this. The only drawback in this is 'no camera flash'. Great phone with very great features in a very very great price.

I got this phone over a month ago & already, I have replaced it with a different phone. Went back to a button phone as the touch screen is a bit sensitive & just takes screen to get dirty from fingerprint grease (unavoidable seeing as it's touch screen)if using stylus (which I bought separately as you need extra slim fingers to press some very small on screen keys & links. A don't regret going back to a button phone, more reliable. Another annoying thing about this phone is during calls, the screen locks on its own. Not good for those who need to keep an eye on how long they have been in call for.

Great looking phone at an affordable price! If style is one of the top priorities then go for this! Communication features are great! Email alert is great! Internet is slow compared to Smartphones! Qwerty keypad is spacious & comfortable to use! Camera is good not great but good enough to click memorable moments!

Overall fantastic phone to have!

Samsung Corby Pro is just simply great! This is the first time that I am using a Samsung phone. It may have some drawbacks in features like the delays. But it's fine. The battery drains fast when using Internet. Why is that? Is it natural?

I am using this mobile for more than 8 to 9 months. No problems with this mobile. I have dropped 3 times. But still it did not give me problems & one time in the rain also, but it survived. I didn't expect this from Samsung. Thumbs UP for Samsung mobile manufacturers. I would like to know how to connect to WiFi Internet usage. I tried but it's not connecting if anyone could guide in details please. Thanks in advance.

I like the phone but when writing a multiple text the phone freezes after the first one & won't let me continue into subsequent text so I have to save everything in drafts & then go back & edit it. Has anyone else had this problem?

Samsung say it's a handset problem. Am on my third phone now!

Hi, I just want to let all know that I have been using Corby Pro more than 2 months now. I would probably say this is one of the best phones released in recent days. It comes with most attractive high end features at a decent price. I have always had a disappointment with Samsung as they were not quite successful (Even though they are one of the leading Electronic appliances manufacturers in the market now) like other manufacturers for a long time to make a phone which is remembered always. But this time they come up with a gadget which is worthier & incomparable with any other mobile gadgets of other manufacturers of all time within a decent price limit.

Nice work by SAMSUNG & surely this phone will keep rocking the markets & remembered for a long time for its ease of use.

I highly recommend Samsung Corby Pro for anyone who just want to switch over to touch generation. Thanks.

Everything is looks good in corby pro except the WIFI which is not easily connecting to the WiFi AP. After a long struggle I connected my mobile to wireless network. If anyone have any questions about WiFi in corby pro, feel free to ask.
