Below the speaker of the left side screen lock and power button are provided. 3.5 mm of handfree socket and mini USB port, located at bottom right side, acts as charging port. A 3 megapixel camera (autofocus) is placed at the rear, could be the major problem. Scratches can easily harm its quality. A 3240 mAh Li polymer battery is good.

Typing is easy because of big screen and this feature further helps in abstracting all the benefits of the Android 2.1 engine.

Media interface and Calls:

You have to use a hand free kit for the receiving calls. Built in speakers are good but microphone is not much supportive.

Gaming is still a area to put emphasis.
