The launch of the new handsets, called Samsung Corby(TXT) and Samsung Corby(PRO), fits perfectly within the company's strategy of 'designing a wealth of handsets to match every different lifestyle'. Each new handset has a specific focus on key features including messaging, multimedia entertainment and business functionality; both also have the original Corby's trademarks of bold colours, pop-style contours and stand-out curved body design.

"The Corby family is clearly in-line with our ongoing strategy of developing different mobiles to match different lifestyle needs," explained JK Shin, Executive Vice President and Head of Samsung Electronics' Mobile Communications Division. "The focus with the original Corby and now with the Corby family has been to offer our consumers choice: choice over the colour of the handset, choice over how they stay connected and choice over the features and functionality which best suit their unique personality and communication requirements."

The Samsung Corby(TXT) is a message-centric mobile for heavy texters delivering easy-to-use SMS and IM (Instant Messenger) features as well as simple social media uploading functionality. The Corby(TXT) also offers a full QWERTY keyboard on the face of the phone.

A 3.5mm earphone jack allows its owners to use their own earphones and, like the original Samsung Corby, Corby(TXT), it comes with brightly-coloured fashion jackets, changeable battery covers - a simple black one and the second with detailed graphic designs.

Samsung Corby(TXT) will be available in most European countries by the end of September.
