Samsung C3510 Genoa Pops into the Scene

If you have been too busy gawking and drooling at the newer high end smart phones, then it might be a little hard to appreciate the geniuses in Samsung that have created the Genio series of mobile phones (known as the Corby series outside the UK). The reason for the success of these simple-looking mobile devices is that instead of having high-end hardware that delivers everything, the phones are specialized, delivering specifically what the clients need. This means that messaging focused buyers can opt for the Genio QWERTY while those who like media playback can go for the Genio Touch.

Of course, with only three devices in the initial lineup, the specializations are pretty coarse and basic, but now, a new addition to the scene promises to answer another concern of mobile phone buyers, price. The Samsung C3510 Genoa is a budget phone that does not skimp out on the extra features.

Making Things Easier

The Genoa comes with widgets -which should now be a standard on any phone actually. Widgets allow you to insert any kind of application, feed or content into a customizable window. It is similar to being able to create your own custom menu in your mobile phone.

Another great thing about widgets is that they are easy to manage. If one content is no longer to your liking, replacing it with a new source is just easy. Speaking of easy, the general feel and control of the phone makes for a fun and easy control system. Thanks to the high refresh rate and smooth animations the overall feel of the user interface feels very cohesive.

The home screen on the Genoa can expand to three more panels that show additional info, links and other phone details. You can simply slide the screen left and right to see the rest of the details. Aside from the home screen, you can also change the colors and the visual theme of the Genoa in the menu.

Multi Messengers and More

Enjoying this new Genio phone is easy if you love to go online with your mobile. As stated, this phone features some useful connectivity options. The first is a simple looking widget that will save you plenty of time when visiting your favorite social networking and media sharing sites. The quick link widget is a one-touch access to Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, Picasa, Photobucket, Flickr and more. The links are customizable too. By allowing users to instantly get to a site, no time is wasted having to open the menu.

Another cool feature on this phone is the instant messenger called the Palringo platform. You can easily connect to various IM networks and talk to all your contacts -without having to jump between different applications. This precious time saver connects to AOL instant messenger, ICQ and Google Talk. The phone also supports Bluetooth messaging for nearby contacts.

Great Budget Option

If you have been planning to use a basic device that will still keep you connected without all the fuss on smart phones, then the Samsung C3510 Genoa is a great device to have. The phone is expected to arrive by Q2 of this year.
