      clear prioritizing of nokia horrible screens, and their touch escreen farmhouse and its processors trash, gives the rest to play outside, Samsung, HTC and LG are evolving to give a step up when you least expect nokia lg be higher than it is nokia end ..

          The corby is meant to be a mid class phone and with that a mid-class price with mid-class features. Although its tough to say how this will work with an android platform since most android devices are pretty high end even if u count LG's optimus being that its supposed to be a mid-class android handset.

          That being said i'd like to clarify that samsung's tendency to produce new handsets by the "second" is not their downfall nor is it their disfunction that enables to do so because their reputation exceeds them. Rather all huge corporations under a capitalist viewpoint are striving to expand their market share and to outdo top competitors. And to do that is to keep coming up with products that have new sets of features that are more efficient than competitors who have them or to come up with something revolutionary which I believe samsung has faired quite well. On top of that, Korea's economy is heavily based on export demand and well with the recession still in effect that only means to increase exports if Korea's biggest conglomerate wishes to stay on top~

                Another Corby? Samsung is becoming so boring... all phones look the same, the form factor with the not-so-useful-more-than-to-go-back hard key in the middle, instead of useful trackballs or optical joysticks keeps repeating even on the B series (i.e. B7330. Ok, it's a diamond shape, what an innovation)
