Review of Samsung Corby Plus b3410

by gedet basumatary on December 18, 2009

Two weeks back I bought a new mobile phone called Samsung Corby Plus b3410. The main features of the Samsung Corby plus b3410 are the sliding QWERTY keypad and the Touch Screen. This mobile is ideal for internet browsing and very easy to access social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Orkut etc. It also has a 2 MP camera.

I bought this mobile Samsung Corby Plus b3410 at INR 9,300. I am sure you can get this handset even at slight lower rate if you go and get it at the big retailer shop. I got 2 GB external memory with the handset.

The main disadvantages of this mobile are lack of GPS and Wi-Fi, and less memory space. After I bought this Samsung Corby plus b3410, I came to know about another exact mobile with slight higher and better features called Samsung Corby Pro b3510. This mobile has GPS, Wi-Fi and higher external memory and the rate was around INR 12,500. If you have money and want to buy then I suggest you go for Samsung Corby Pro b3510.

Anyway the main features of the Samsung Corby plus b3410 are: -

  1. Slider with QWERTY keyboard
  2. Weighs 113.7gm
  3. Social networking features including Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Orkut.
  4. Touch Screen with Touch Wiz user interface
  5. Threaded Message Box
  6. Quad Band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, GPRS/WAP.
  7. 2.6? inch (240×320 pixels) Touch Screen
  8. 2MP camera with 4x Digital Zoom and 3.5mm audio jack speaker phone.
  9. 20MB internal memory, Micro SD card slot (up to 8GB) expandable memory. Some retailers are providing 2 GB external memory for free. I got one.
  10. 960 mAh battery, up to 12 hours of Talk time.
  11. Stereo FM Radio, Bluetooth v2.1, DNSe, Phone Book Entries: 1000, and SMS Memory: 700.No GPS and Wi-Fi connectivity.
  12. Includes SNS sites to chat with friends and family.

So any of you too have  this Samsung Corby plus b3410 mobile phone. If you do then please share what you think of this mobile. Share anything related to it.

I am using corby b3410 from a long time. I tried lot of apps. Here is my conclusion. The main problem with this phone is low java memory. Though you can increase the size of jar file to be installed by dialling *#52828378# but not the over all default memory which is 3.5 mb. This limit in the java section has made this phone terrible for playing games. Almost 70% games which works in other phones does not work in it. The palringo messenger always loose connection after 5 min of working. Opera mini 5 and 6 more details.

set the convertor on 320*240 in settings. then u will b able to see full screen video only. and better option is to use the convertor which is given with the pc suite. it will surely solve ur problem…….

I have this phone it’s ok. The screen is awfully touchy though.
I do have a problem though. I recently added voice mail, no the vibrate and ringer don’t seem to work, it goes directly to voice mail. I have checked all setting and cannot find a way to correct this.
Also, what is jar. I’m a real newby.
Thank you.

The worst and waste phone I never seen. The keypad look is the first worst thing, if u keep in pant, it unlock and will call some one. Messaging is worst, for urgent u cannot take a phone number.no themes can be installed.qwerty key pad,good for nothing.i don’t know why Samsung cheat people.

Rahul September 28, 2011 at 3:03 pm

Guys, please don’t buy this phone. go through the earlier reviews (Specialy Vivek Tiwari and Lance). This phone has many problems. These are the days when you have plenty of apps, Themes & games available in market. You cant install them on this phone. even if you can install some apps & games (Pls Note absolutely No themes) they are limited to 4Mb (that means 3-4 games and apps). Some has suggested that u can increase memory settings but that is limited to increase of installation file size not the default memory of Games and application (4 Mb). that remains same even if u put 8 GB memory card.
Another problem is by chance if your phone receiving button is not working you are helpless. neither u can dial any number nor receive any calls. Like other touch screen mobile phones this phone doesn’t have touch button to receive or dial.

Pls go for other models preferably of other brands than samsung.

I bought this phone but i am not satisfied with this…
My opinion –
good things – camera, touch screen, qwerty keyboard, security, widgits.

bad things – video quality, doesnt support many video format (shoking mp4 not supporting which is supported by most of chainess mobile), less phone memory, slow internet with by default browser, it hang when open convartation, no thems available on net, doesnt support nokia n95 photo, low expandeble memory.
my old n95 (8gb) is thousand time better than it.
i do not suggest this to anyone. I think nokia 5233 is better in this range.
tell me if i m wrong at facebook dilippaliwal007@gmail.com

My problem with this phone is that it doesn’t support Yahoo here. Also, after typing on the web and I want to edit what I’ve typed, it only brings out a small portion of the page and cuts off the rest. It really annoys me and I don’t know what to do about it. Any settings for editing please?

I liked it initially.. but in a year, i started facing all these probs: automatically making calls when kept in pant pocket, 3 keys not working in touchscreen, microphone seems to be of low quality as the ppl at other end cant hear properly etc.. its bugging now as my touchscreen has issues and the warranty has expired. thanks to keypad, otherwise i wudve thrown away the phone out of frustration
