Vodafone UK Samsung Genio Slide Availability Confirmed [Samsung Genio Slide (CorbyPro B5310) Given Free on Contract With Vodafone UK]

Vodafone UK have just announced today that Samsung’s Genio Slide mobile phone is now available for free to those willing to sign a two year contract with the British carrier that will set you back at least £15 per month, or a 18-months contract that starts from £25 per month.

Known as Samsung CorbyPro B5310 in other parts of the world, the Genio Slide boasts a 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen, a sliding QWERTY keyboard that seems to ease typing, HSDPA (up to 7.2Mbps) and Wi-Fi connectivity and a built-in GPS. Other than that, the new handset — which by the way is aimed at youngsters, brings social networking site access for Facebook & Twitter, a 3 megapixel camera, 120MB of internal memory and a microSD card slot that allows up to 16GB more storage space.

Definitely not a groundbreaking model, we’d be less harsh with the new Samsung Genio Slide if at least it would bring dual SIM support.

Vodafone UK has exclusivity rights on the Genio Slide for one month in the UK, before other operators.
