I couldn’t put my finger on what I found disturbing at first: the Samsung Corby Pro is a sure winner for 2010. It has filled the niche for an el-cheapo phone that comes with QWERTY keypad layout and WiFi … all this for about USD $200.00. SO why was I so averse to it when I took the phone home?
A fashion disaster. OMG. Just look at the back. This reminds of a story where I once went out with a friend and she told me, halfway into dinner that I’ve been wearing a fashion no-no: apparently stripes on stripes isn’t supposed to be a good thing. I had a nice striped top on with very minute pinstriped pants. So from afar it looked like I was wearing gray, but upon further inspection, I turned out to be a “fashion disaster” (and this is according to her .. I could care less). But it was when I took the Corby home that I finally knew what she meant.
Just look at it. Black on white is acceptable, but the swirly bits PLUS the back of front piece is colored RED?!? It’s too much. Just too much for the eyes. Unacceptable. Who could have let this slip?!
DESIGNERS!!!!
[...] like the Corby Pro, except for one thing [...]
haha.. that won’t stop me from buying it..
Weird. How come the one I saw in the mall is just plain. I think you could find it with a plain back ^^;;; This is the only model I’ve seen pictures of with some swirly stuff at the back. Maybe it’s optional?
o com’on, that swirl back cover is just an add-on jacket
there do exist 2 other plain n simple jackets in the box
besides, the red thing ain’t all that bad
you can be wid it for the oder gud featured in the phone, just dun open the keyboard in front of anyone :P
The red rear actually complements the green swirls. It isn’t THAT bad. It would have looked better if the cover was aligned in a more proper position, though.
It definitely isn’t a fashion no-no. Besides, the others are right: the product comes with a plain white rear, as well.
Maybe you just didn’t look as thorough as you thought you did.
My friend has one of this, and her keyboard is white. Which look quite nice. I’m planning to buy one in Singapore.
i really want the black one with white keypads..
waha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the phone comes with 3 different back thingis (sorry dont know the right word for it :D): black, white, and that white with those swirlys (in the box )
hope this helps someone to decide :)
Mine came with white battery cover. I can’t for the life of me find a simple black one !! Help !!!
