Today at an event, held in Milan, Samsung announced its new member of the Corby family –  Samsung B3210 CorbyTXT. Samsung Cell Phone news

Unlike its two siblings the Samsung B3210 CorbyTXT doesn’t sport touchscreen functionality. Instead it relies on a slim (12.9 mm) profile and lightweight body to win some fans. There is also a microSD card slot, Bluetooth and USB on board, as well as FM radio and a 2 megapixel camera. The display on that one measures 2.2” in diagonal and sports QCIF resolution.

A pretty cool feature of the quad-band GSM (no 3G, sorry) Samsung B3210 CorbyTXT are its exchangeable back panels, much like the ones on the Samsung S3650 Corby. The other value added features that Samsung has quoted for the CorbyTXT include Cartoon UI.
