Known as the B3310 in Europe

Known as the B3310 in Europe, Samsung has announced its latest full QWERTY phone as the Corby Mate in India

The Corby Mate sports a rather weird looking design thanks to the numeric keypad seen on the left of the screen - quite unlike most other phones. The QWERTY keyboard however is a standard slide-out one. The phone will make an excellent mid range messaging phone and sports a 2 inch QVGA display and offers quad-band GSM connectivity.

It also offers easy access to social networking sites and e-mail. There is a decently specced music player with FM Radio as well. The camera is a very basic 2 megapixel one. With 40MB of internal memory and MicroSD card support, the device has enough space for all your multimedia.

There is no word as to when the phone will actually be available in India - nor there is an inkling of the price range at which it will sell in the country. For more on this, head to the Samsung Website.

Nokia N86 vs N82 Picture Gallery

After having brought to you a camera comparison between Nokia’s newest camera flagship, the N86 8MP, and its old sibling, the Nokia N82, today we show you a side by side comparison of the 2 device’s hardware and design. As always, you can click on the thumbnails to access the full resolution photos.

Sizewise, the N86 8MP is chubbier and shorter than the N82, due to its dual-slider form factor, as opposed to the N82’s candybar design. The materials used on the N86 are nice classy plastic with metal, and covered with non-scratchable glass on the front, whereas the N82 uses the old cheap and shiny black plastics that we saw on the N81, N96, N78, N85

In terms of usability, the keypad on the N86 is miles better than the N82, with big, well differenciated and raised keys as opposed to the tiny plasticky ones on the N82. Also, the N86 has separated softkeys, call/end as well as menu and delete keys, whereas these are more joined in one big block on the N82.

The back of the devices features their prominent camera, with the N86 sporting a dual-LED flash and a wide-angle lens 8MP sensor camera, as opposed to the N82’s 5MP sensor with a Xenon flash. Both devices have a physical shutter. The N86 also has a kickstand right around the camera (shown later).

Nokia 5230 set for January 2010 launch

Remember the Nokia 5230 that was announced back in August but then quickly dropped off the radar as we all started getting excited about the Nokia N97 mini and Nokia X6? Well, it looks like the Nokia 5230 is back and set for a January 2010 launch. Check out this touchscreen phone and what it has to offer the entry-level smartphone market…

The Nokia 5230 is a Symbian S60 5th Edition smartphone that will ship with a 3.2-inch resistive display and is cast very much as a device between the Nokia 5800 and the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. The screen will have a 640 x 360-pixel resolution and come with the same Contacts Bar and media bar as we’ve seen on the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. This means you’ll be able to load four of your favourite apps straight from the homescreen, including the likes of Facebook and YouTube.

Being an entry-level smartphone, we can expect a 2-Megapixel camera and Bluetooth but you’ll also find a super-fast HSDPA connection for getting access to email and the internet. Then there is a claimed 33 hours of playback from the media player, making this very much a device for music lovers
