Samsung to launch Corby Pop in India, an 'affordable version' of the Corby

If you thought the Corby was affordable at about Rs 9,000, think again. We have learnt that Samsung is planning an even cheaper all-touchscreen phone in its Corby series that would be branded as the Corby Pop.

Priced at under Rs 7,000, the Corby Pop will have a 1.3 MP camera, 22 MB of internal memory, FM radio with recording and a 960 mAh battery with a quoted talktime of about 8 hours. On the application front, apart from widgets for popular social networks, the Corby Pop will come pre-installed with Palringo IM and a fake call prank app.

Samsung's Corby series has been one of Samsung's best selling phones in the Indian market with its range of affordable touchscreen phones and social networking apps, and colourful outer casing that has proved to be popular among the youth.
