Samsung Ch@t B3410W Mobile Phone

Proudly displayed in Samsung’s booth at the Mobile World Congress was a chunky handset that bore resemblance to the Corby family. Named Samsung Ch@t B3410W, this mobile phone is aimed at the chunk of social networking users (again!). The handset comes with a 2.6” touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY keypad. The Samsung Ch@t is actually an enhanced version of the Samsung B3410 Corby Plus, and by enhanced, we mean WiFi-enabled, so you can access the internet minus the data charges.

The Samsung B3410 Corby Plus social networking mobile phone is not so different from the run-of-the-mill mobile phones of today that target tiddlers, but its affordability could take it higher in the sought after list. The camera housed is a rather average 2 megapixel one and Bluetooth and USB connectivity are also included. The resolution of the display is quoted to be 240 x 320 pixels, which appeared pretty bright in the illuminated booth at Barcelona. We doubt if it’ll be comfortable to view web pages.

This latest handset from Samsung is not a 3G device and is GSM only. (Oh well, there’s at least WiFi!) The list of social networking sites supported includes Flickr, Facebook and MySpace among others. And of course, Samsung’s TouchWiz interface is not missed and the chunky handset is pretty sturdy. According to Samsung, the    Ch@t B3410W can accept microSD cards of up to 16GB and the talk time quoted is about 3 hours. But WiFi could obviously reduce the battery life to a great extent. Our guess is that this handset could cost less than £175, let’s see. But for one, we’re not all that excited about this newbie.
