Samsung Strengthens its Youth Offering with the Introduction of Genio Qwerty
1st Oct 2009
September 24th 2009 – Samsung Mobile has unveiled a new addition to its youth offering with the launch of Genio Qwerty (marketed under the name CorbyTXT outside of the UK), following the successful launch of the Samsung Genio Touch earlier this month.
The latest addition to the range features the original Genio trademark characteristics of bold colours, stylish contours and a stand-out curved body design, with the added benefit of a full qwerty keyboard – ideal for fast-fingered fans of SMS, Instant Messenger and Email.
The new Genio Qwerty also features ‘quick launch’ buttons offering fast access to key features such as the inbuilt music player and messaging. Users can also customise their home screen and so they can have instant access to their favourite social networking sites including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
“This latest addition to the Genio range supports our latest move to strengthen our youth offering and provide a range of products suited to different consumer lifestyles,” Mark Mitchinson, VP, Samsung Mobile UK and Ireland comments. "We want to ensure there is something for everyone, from the colour and connectivity of the device to the features and functionality available. The Genio Qwerty offers those who prefer a keyboard rather than a touch screen the opportunity to have the great looks and features that come with the Genio range.”
The Samsung Genio Qwerty will be on sale from early October in the UK, available first from Orange after launch – in vibrant yellow.
