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.
