    Samsung already managed to get the Samsung Corby down to a surprisingly dirt-cheap price tag, packing in a 2.8″ touchscreen, 2 MP camera, and FM radio for less than $200 bucks — unlocked, and without contract. It seems that wasn’t enough, however – according to the latest whispers from the rumor mill, they’re aiming even lower.

    According to Unwired View, Samsung’s cracking away at a new uber-cheap handset called the Corby Pop. There aren’t any pictures of the Corby Pop yet – in its place, please accept this picture of a ham sandwich.

    The new handset purportedly maintains the touchscreen display and FM radio, but bumps the camera down to 1.2 megapixels. It’s about as low on the totem pole as new phones come nowadays – but at a rumored unlocked price of around $150 bucks, we doubt the buyers will be complaining.
