Samsung C3510 Genoa: Fun and Trendy Budget Phone

Samsung knows what the future needs. It is not about high end dual-core processors and huge touch screens. It is not about specialized operating systems and augmented reality. The future lies in practical engineering. That is what the younger generation of mobile phone users wants and that is what the Samsung Genio series delivers. Known outside UK as the Corby, this series of mobile phones concentrate on bare necessities, fun and of course, style.

The phones from Corby have already made it to the Genio line, the Touch, Pro and QWERTY. Adding to this series is the new Samsung C3510 Genoa with its trimmed down features, budget friendly price tag and of course, generation specific design. With its multimedia functionality, social networking applications, customizable widgets and instant messengers, the Genoa promises to deliver everything that its users would ever need.

Basic Device Specs

This touch screen based phone was designed to with fun in mind; with that said, using the Genoa makes for a very smooth and enjoyable experience. The menus are easy to understand and access. The screen is responsive and delivers visual feedback instantly. Each screen slides to the next without much lag or slowdown. This is most noticeable with the phone's home screen which expands into three different panels; each of the panels show varying information and layouts that users can choose from.

Speaking of selections, the phone also comes with widgets. As you might expect, widget contents are fully customizable and are easy to change any time. You can even put in phone applications into the widgets. Another custom setting feature is the phone themes. You can choose the overall visual style of the device or simply replace the backgrounds or colors according to your tastes.

Instant Social Connectivity

The phone's nicest feature comes in the form of a new platform, the Palringo. This is Samsung's very own multi-messaging system which can connect to various messaging networks like Google Talk, AOL Instant Messenger and ICQ. Users can connect to the different account at the same time allowing you to chat with any of your contacts without having to open different applications. While the phone does not come with a QWERTY keyboard, using the touch screen to type messages is easy.

The phone also comes with a widget called the quick links which will give users instant access to chosen web content. Social networking sites and file sharing sites are excellent choices; Picasa, Facebook and Flickr are some of the key links that people would certainly use a lot.

Genio's Running Legacy

Samsung has plenty to be proud of with this device, it has lots of amazing features and we have not even touched upon the 1.5 mega pixel snapper (that can also take video), email support and the Google bar. The Samsung C3510 Genoa is a perfect little bundle for all the social networking fans who would like to get a budget device. All in all, this budget phone will certainly be worth getting. Hopefully, Samsung will be bringing the other Corby phones to Genio soon.
