Before buying, specify the characteristics and complete set of the seller.

Let's start, perhaps, from the positioning of the device and, as a result, the exterior, or rather the housing, which one of his appearance says that he is not a place in the hands of a measured person. Yes, Corby is a phone for youth, and replaceable rear lid-skins are superfluous. Recall at least Nokia N78, which is also not particularly distinguished by the facade, the public has shuffled with multi-colored backs - uniquely musical, youth, but, however, a smartphone. So and the S3650 changing the "raincoat" will adapt under the image of its owner (complete with the device there are 3 panels, and more precisely one on it and two interchangeable, although it seems to us that new can be easily found on the sale of communication salons).

The size of the novelty does not shine (103.0x56.5x12,0mm, 93,2g.), And it is rather plus, although at first glance it looks large, but this visual effect due to an impressive on the background of the display case. Please note that the device does not have a block of alphanumeric keys, it follows that almost all manipulations are made by pressing the display - and how does it not be large under these conditions?

The shape of the body is almost oval, it is achieved due to the impressive roundings in the upper and lower parts of the housing, as well as the different orphanage or more precisely of the "smoglities" of the hull halves, which are buggedly interconnected through the diagonal. The description is possible somewhat messy, but the photos will complement this picture.

It is very convenient to keep in your hand Corby, due to the same shapes and materials, although glossy panels are not only planted when used, but sometimes slides.

The plastic novelty housing, as you understand, glossy, which, together with the glossy defense of the display, attracts fingerprints. The face of the face panel S3650 is noble black, and about the rear we have changed more than once at the beginning of the article. It is also necessary to note the quality of the assembly of the device: to detect some designs of the design during use failed, everything is fitted with mathematical accuracy, the elements do not creak when using and squeezing when talking.

As you understand, with the main load of controlling the functions assigned to the display, the design elements is not much, but also the small number does not suffer. The upper part of the front panel is crowned with a conversational speaker, pocked by a horizontal metal strip with two rows of holes. Below should dominant panel and apparatus as a whole - display. This is a matrix made according to capacitive technology (i.e. pressing outsiders and styluses are ignored), a size of 2.8 inches and a resolution of 320x240 pixels. The number of color shades displayed is 262 144, and this is noticeable at first glance on the machine, the picture is lively and saturated. The brightness of the brightness of the screen is decent, at the maximum it is even blind, the viewing angles are impressive - comfortable for work. The CORBY display is convenient, the press responds well, there are no problems with entering data.

Under the display, the bizarre mold key is located (some similarity of an inverted triangle whose angles are rounded), surrounded by the reception keys and call deviations (the latter is also responsible for the nutrition of the device). The course of all three keys is medium, despite the fact that the call keys are located flush with the panel, in use the block is comfortable, the negative did not deliver.

Directly under the keys, in the center we see a small slot of the microphone.

The side faces of the apparatus have accommodated everything for which there is no place left on the top and bottom. So, on the right are the locking key and cameras combined, and the level of the volume and the corporate interface connector covered with a non-removable plug. At first glance, the unsuccessful loud swing is very conveniently pressed by a thumb of the left hand when conversing. Please note that the keys and the compartment (cover) are tied to the housing and when installing the black case panel, they will remain white. It looks like this picture boldly, but does not repel.

Pay attention to a small hole on the left pane, closer to the top. This is a hole, followed by a pin for mounting the strap - i.e. It is necessary to remove the panel to turn the strap into the lid hole and hook the end on the pin.

On the back side at the top there is a chamber lens peephole, and below two arcs, the holes behind them are placed in the left side, or more precisely under them there is an external speaker. From the protection of the lens, we can note a minor "swelling" by its contour, the rest of the 2-megapixel chamber "is blown by all winds."

To remove the rear panel - the battery cover covers are provided by the longitudinal recess in the lower part of the housing. Let's make it a nail and dump the panel up (be careful, the new body is difficult to remove without assistance - we recommend using a plastic card).

Under the cover, on the left on the housing panel there is a compartment for a compartment for a changeable memory of MicroSD format. As you understand the full "hot replacement" there is no talk, in any case you will have to remove.

For the battery of the device, an appropriate reservoir is provided to which the battery enters carefully and smoothly. She fastens there on the power of friction, as well as protrusions in the upper part of the compartment, for which a semicircular deepening is provided in the lower part, we think it is understandable.

The SIM card compartment is under the battery and is a small recess in the housing in the form of a module and a metal bracket at its lower part.

As you can see, from the front side, the device is quite calm, minimalist and its mischievous temper opens only when manipulating in the hand, subject to the installation of replaceable "skins". In general, the exterior of the new product is thought out and convenient.

User interface

The touchscreen display of the device implies a huge number of accessibility and information entry, and its size will allow you to place all sorts of menus. The diversity of the interface is noticeable from the first minutes of operation with the S5600 - for the beginning it is as many as 3 desktops, the turning of which is similar to the book pages from left to right and vice versa. With all this, the upper and lower line remains unchanged - information and functional, respectively. From above there are indicators of the level of reception, availability of GPRS / EDGE, alarm clock, changeable memory cards, charge, and digital clock. At the bottom, we see 3 virtual icons opening access to the dialer, the record book and the main menu. The default desktop itself and in all three versions is empty, but a small laying in the lower left corner hints to us that not everything is so simple: to move it to the right, we will open the vertical strip of the widgets.

The use of widgets becomes widespread in touch, and the usual devices and many see comfortable tool. The use of widgets is really justified with a flip-oriented input, because And it is easy to move them convenient and change the necessary icons can be quite simple, and 3 desktops will allow the user to fill each of them necessary and can be removed if necessary, change.

Describe each widget used in the S3650 is probably not worthwhile - they are in many and under various needs, there are weather, and world time, and hours, and calendar, and notes and access to popular resources (such as Facebook, Myspace, for example ), Therefore, even for the most demanding and demanding user, there is a necessary one. It is worth noting that, unlike the predecessors of the line, the widgets in Corby became greater that it would not be possible not to please the potential user.

The dialer device is simple and simple, reminds such in classic phones, with the only difference that the virtual keys. It is 3 columns of 4 large buttons with applying both numbers and letters, tightly adjacent to each other. The lower row of keys is supplemented with access to the phone book, sending a message, as well as the return key, Cansel. Oddly enough, but even the virtual key grid when holding disconnects the sound of the phone, and this is a fairly useful option.

The main menu of the phone is represented by a matrix of 12 static, but colorful icons (3x4) on one screen, but the subsections are a vertical list of available options in the form of the icon on the left and describing the function to the right of it. The main menu, as well as desktops is located on 3 screens, which is why sub-clauses in Corby are filled with minimal. Such a presentation reminds the iPhone menu and seem to be convenient.

An animation of the selection of the item in the main menu is represented by a translucent square with smoothed edges, which appears when choosing, as well as for convenience of perception, the top line with information indicators remains in sight of both in the main and nested menus.

Scrolling the submenu is carried out in the vertical plane and are equipped with animation. In general, the speed of processing the requests menu of the device is not bad, but it will not be ideal to be called - the device sometimes delays with perception, and sometimes it just ignores pressing (in the latter case it is often associated with a rapid input).

In terms of visualization and decorations, we note the possibility of changing system Fontwhich is selected from 4 available options. Starting from the classic straight and ending with imitating handwritten. The solution is not a new, but curious and competent manufacturer.

Samsung S3650 Corby :: Overview :: Telephone service

To access the call list, both the appropriate menu can be used and pressing the call promise key. In both cases, for a start, we get into the overall vertical list of all calls (although it is difficult to call it a call list - rather a list of events in which messages and even letters appear). Type differences in the overall list only in the icon standing on the left or the subscriber name or the name of the subscriber, if there is already available in the directory, and go to the corresponding submenu - missed, dialed, received calls (30 each type) or messages, can be from the drop-down menu, Located in the upper right corner of the screen. When choosing a specific subscriber and the number, we can see the date, time and duration of the call, if it was, and next to the number we can see the number reporting on the number of calls to the Subscriber.

The telephone directory of the device accommodates up to 2000 subscribers, regardless of the filing fields, and they are as follows:

  • Surname
  • Contact Name (what will be displayed in the directory)
  • Mobile personal
  • Mobile worker
  • E-mail Personal
  • Group (family, friends, work)
  • Individual melody
  • Vibration
  • Birthday
  • The note
  • But this is not full listOther options hid under the right contextual virtual key:

  • Home number
  • Office number
  • Other
  • E-mail worker
  • Personal Web Page Address
  • Web page address
  • DTMF signal
  • Sound message
  • Pseudonym
  • Company
  • Position
  • The address is personal
  • Kid address
  • It is worth noting that in the general list of subscribers appear as numbers from the memory of the device and the SIM card, although in the settings you can choose one of them. The Directory itself offers ample opportunities for finding the desired contact - the right upper angle of the application will open the drop-down menu where groups can also be displayed, and the search string is followed from the left of which the subscriber's first letter selecting is located. In general, finding the right contact will not be difficult, although the aesthetes can take advantage of the animated vertical scrolling of the entire list. On the right of the name, the call icon is displayed - this will allow you to quickly dial the number directly from the reference to the pre-assigned default number.

    Among other options, the directory has the ability to create your own business card, similar to the content of the usual contact, copying and moving contacts from the memory of the device to a SIM card, select the selected numbers (which can be subsequently displayed to one of the main screens using the widget).

    Curious "Photo Contacts" option will make it possible to sort out small icons-photos of your subscribers as a disk phone, for quick access to the set of pre-entered numbers - it would seem, an analogue of Speed \u200b\u200bDial, and more visual and as a result beautiful app.

    SAMSUNG S3650 CORBY :: Overview :: Messages

    The message menu, as expected, besides creating a new message, is open access to the incoming (for an e-mail individual folder), drafts, outgoing, sent, personal folders, templates, remote, settings, SOS messages and memory meter.

    When creating a new message, the device will offer 2 options - a message or letter, because The transition from SMS to MMS is automatically, depending on the type of content entered. By itself, the message template represents a white non-rapid leaf, on top of which contains a field for entering a destination (both from a notebook and from the call list, which is very convenient), and below the option - send, add content and forced transition to MMS.

    E-mail is a client, after non-hard manipulations on setting up, ready to work. There are practically no difference in editing template with messages, except for the additional field "theme" above the forms and extended options in the bottom line. In the process of testing problems with obtaining and sending letters, it is not fixed - everything is debugged and works without failures. Some encoding problems happened only with the erroneous settings of the sender servers, which was not checked on other devices, and then the header of the letter was not reached. In total, you can configure up to 5 mailboxes.

    SOS messages are not a new, but curious feature that, after activating, entering the required number and the repeat period, will allow you to send a message on the help of 4 times by pressing the volume rocker. By the way, the long holding of the "Down" swing will allow to simulate incoming call - Curious and sometimes requested function.

    Samsung S3650 Corby :: Overview :: Organizer, office

    These functions in Corby are scattered across screens and are not combined with a separate sub-clause, which, but does not go to the detriment of ease of use, it is not so difficult to find the desired option on the icon.

    The default calendar will display the current month data under which the field is contained informing about the tasks entered on the selected day. By creating a new task (no more than 300), you must enter the name, date and time of the beginning, as well as, if desired, establish a reminder. Available options for displaying a specific day, week or the general list of entered events. Settings contain the ability to select the first day of the week and the default type. In addition, there is an opportunity to view all the passing events, although why it is necessary - it is not clear.

    Notes, which can be made in memory no more than 100, are small text notes without additional options, but the case, in addition to text, will allow you to specify the date and priority, although also limited to 100 entries.

    World time is a graphically beautiful application that will allow, moving the map of the globe, view the time and time zone at the selected points. Frequently used points can be saved to the vertical list available by pressing in the upper left corner of the application screen.

    The calculator is an arithmeter, although an additional option in the form of brackets is present in it.

    The magnitude converter supports such as:

  • Currency
  • Length
  • Volume
  • Area
  • Temperature
  • The entire list of available options and supported values \u200b\u200b(when choosing) is represented by a vertical list, which is why there is some reason for information.

    Alarm clocks in the device 10 and the creation of the subsequent available after the task of the previous one. When creating alarm clock, you can choose the name, activation time, repetimate days, and activate the replay. In the overall list, you can activate the alarm on even when the device is turned off.

    The stopwatch is most used as easy as possible - supports up to 50 circles and has only 2 buttons - "Start" and the "Circle" itself.

    The timer must first set up for a response time, turning the drums themselves with numbers - it looks quite impressive.

    "My files" - file manager, cataloged content apparatus - pictures, video, music, other files, as well as files created by you on the memory card - they are also displayed in unified list. Supported standard options, such as deleting, renaming, sorting, sending via Bluetooth, printing, copying and moving. As such a "reader" of Doc, XLS, PDF, TXT, etc. formats, etc. We did not find it in the menu, but, nevertheless, when you select data formats through the conductor, they are almost always correctly open to read (editing, as in Pixelviwer "e is not available).

    SAMSUNG S3650 CORBY :: Overview :: Internet

    The device is installed by Samsung Mobile Browser V1.0. Vertical list of available application options contains access to homepage, Introduction URLs, bookmarks and installations. From the settings, you immediately note the cache cleaning and cookies, configuring cookies, delete history, selection of profiles and settings: Activation of Java scripts, mapping mapping, sound playing and flash.

    The browser itself is very convenient and enough smartly - it was possible to note from the first minutes of use. In the classic display, the upper line contains command lineunder which the control icons are located (back, forward, update and full screen mode), and at the bottom of access to the Favorites, the change of the orientation of the display (portrait / landscape) and options. Scaling is carried out by holding the finger on the screen until the corresponding icons appear.

    There are no complaints about the work of Bluetooth to the device - a connection to other phones, PCs, PDAs and headsets passes without failures. Bluetooth - environment browser is curious, he reminds something in Bluesoleil: the associated devices are located around the module icon, visually and understandable.

    SAMSUNG S3650 CORBY :: Overview :: Camera

    The camera in 2 megapixels is more likely to tribute to existing traditions than the desired and high-quality tool and this is observed at the first frames. However, the application interface is quite competent and designed to meet the features of the touchscreen display. The launch of the application is available from the menu or by pressing the corresponding key on the right side of the phone housing. The phone screen acts as a viewfinder, on both sides of which functional icons are located, and at the top of the frame size, the type of measurement, the available memory and the charge of the battery.

    So, on the left:

  • Choosing a photo or camcorder
  • Mode: one snapshot, smile snapshot, continuous or panorama
  • Settings: Resolution (1600x1200, 1280x960, 640x480, 320x240); White balance (auto, daylight, incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp, cloudy); Effects (no, b / w, sepia, negative, watercolor), exposure measurement (matrix, center-or-point), quality (the best, excellent, usual); night (turned on, off); Grid, view, shutter sound, memory.

  • Brightness (from -3 to +3 with a step one)
  • Transition to album
  • Video recording supported by S3650 - H.263, MPEG4 (240x320, 15 frames / sec.

    You can judge the quality of the shooting on the following cards. According to the editorial office, the quality of shooting S3650 is at the level of the other products of the company with the same characteristics, and in general the devices of the middle segment, with 2 megapixel cameras without autofocus. Macro shot is lame, the camera is demanding of good lighting, but it would be better so that it would be no.

    Samsung S3650 Corby :: Overview :: Multimedia capabilities

    After starting the MP3 player of the machine, we fall into the vertical menu of options: all tracks, playlists, recent files, popular files, performers, albums, genres or podcasts, and in the bottom lineups access to the settings. Among the latest - background playback, the choice of fields (everything else can add the latest added, composer, or some fields to disable).

    The player itself has a simple to perceive and use the structure - the top of the screen is given to the cover of the cover and the running line with the name of the song, then the line of selecting the equalizer, repeat and random play, under which the progress bar with data from the time from the beginning of playback and the remaining to the end of the composition. Control keys are located in the lowest line, over the context zone.

    Supported player formats - MP3, AAC, AAC +, E-AAC +, WMA9.

    The laudatory diffirambes to sing the player is not for that, but in general is quite a working and used tool.

    The "Find Music" service will allow, by writing a few seconds of the composition, to obtain data on the album and artist, using the Internet connection, similar to TrackID.

    The device also has a FM radio, which by tradition requires connecting a wired headset used as an antenna and a voice recorder, with a simple and user-friendly interface with a recording restriction up to 60 minutes.

    Samsung S3650 Corby :: Overview :: Impressions and conclusions

    Stable time autonomous work The device is 730 minutes in standby mode or 540 - in conversation mode. In practice, Moscow cellular operators MegaFon and Beeline discharged a fully charged Corby for 2-2.5 days with a classic user load with elements of testing individual parts (music component, radio and java games).

    It does not have to complain about the quality of reception of new items, it is worthy - the device is quickly catches the network and clinging it with it at possible reception. The volume of the call dynamics is not bad, but there are not enough stars from the sky, rather in a tandem with a similar type of vibrating alert, they are called upon to notify the user, for individually can and flatte. Speaker Loud, he has a necessary stock for a conversation in the subway, or on the busy street of Megapolis. The microphone, judging by the reviews of the interlocutors, does not lag behind their fellow on the volume and clarity of speech transmission.

    So, summarize the total above. Samsung "I managed to create a bright and attractive youth device, endowed with the functionality necessary and sufficient for the target audience, the possibility of personification of the body and all at an attractive price. In this budget, for just an announced novelty, perhaps, it will not fit no longer one touchphone that puts Corby on the pedestal of honor. Of course, some subtle moments of the device have - it is also a corporate interface connector instead of microUSB, and the location of the compartment of the changeable memory card, and not the most volatile outer speaker, and the absence of an accelerometer, however, the scales of the positive aspects of the EAA edition Sotovik practically did not move from the bottom position, why the novelty left after himself only positive emotions. If the "shortcomings" described by us are not weighty, feel free to consider Samsung S3650 Corby as a decent and fun satellite, ready to change under you.


    Samsung Corby. You can perceive differently, on the one hand it is the most inexpensive touchscreen phone on the market (150 euros and 7,000 rubles in Russia at the start), on the other hand, its price is not so different from senior modelwhich is more functional, mass. Interesting situation when more cheap model It is not more popular, it is rather an addition to the super-sufficient S5230. Another design, bright replaceable panels are very attracted, from the standpoint external view S3650 is an ideal solution for the target audience. Beautiful, completely youth apparatus, but not so universal as the eldest fellow.

    At the price of 7 thousand rubles at the start of sales, this phone simply does not have explicit cons, touch screen with a full-featured widget system and the last version of the TouchWiz interface has never been offered for the money. True in Europe, the situation is different. There, the cost of the sensory Nokia 5230 and 5530 XpressMusic is approximately at the same level as S5230 and S3650, while the functionality nokia smartphones Above level. So most of the reasoning about the most attractive at the price of the touch telephone is valid only for our country. Here the Samsung brand is extremely strong, and the sales of STAR and CORBY pairs will be clearly above all competing offers.

    Star and Corby., besides the fact that they are the most mass phones in samsung Line, significantly reduce the chances of other models. As I said, the touch flagship S8000 JET did not become mass, on the background of Star it is not interesting, and sales have shown. Another inexpensive touchscreen apparatus is present on the market, the height of the entire segment is LG KP500. The model was published in October 2008, that is, exactly a year ago, and precisely because of its success, we now have several offers from other companies in this price segment. KP500 still remains one of the most popular devices on the market, LG presents new color solutionsSo it is clearly not worth discounting the phone with bills. In addition to S5230, this is the main competitor for S3650 Corby. Let's give a sign comparative characteristics:
