It’s pretty easy to see how manufacturer is dominating the mobile phone market in Singapore. Just take a ride on the MRT, the dominance of the iPhones is scary. I own a iPod Touch and its almost too often to stand next to a iPhone owner. It’s more scary when you consider the fact that iPhone costs about S$500 in Singapore.
Samsung’s touchscreen phones are just about in the 2nd position if you ask me. But its a combination of all Samsung touchscreen phones. There are as many as Samsung phones models as the ERP gantries in Singapore. The korea company is simply trying to gain market share by giving consumers as much choice as possible.
The latest is Lindy. Not the name of a pretty lady, but a phone.

Super similar to the Samsung Corby, it has a 3.5mm jack, better camera and Wi-Fi. And that’s probably it and it is not much more expensive. Great budget phone (it’s not a smartphone). Now… who buys Corby then?
