Camera
The 2 megapixel camera is good but not great. Just like the MING you can tap the screen and extra icons, shortcuts and options will be hidden to allow the objects you’re shooting to be viewed on the full screen.

Pictures taken in macro mode are clear and the detail is good.

Landscape shots are ok but there seems to be a sort of blurring effect in the center of all the pictures. At first I thought it may be smudged on the lens but it wasn’t. Any pictures taken of moving objects are simply poor. They appear blurry and unclear.

But on the plus sides pictures and videos are captured and saved quickly. The effects are not too many but there a few that allow shooting in various lighting conditions as well as a few effects for arty shots. You also have the option of brightening the picture manually, but be careful or you may end up burning the image. Night mode is ok, but you will need a steady hand. You can also jazz up your images a bit using the Picture editor software. The camera can also be used as a Webcam. This is a great feature and only enhances the phones appeal.

Games
Even though there are only 2 pre-installed games, trust me, they’re 2 of the best that'll really help pass the time when you need it. Sudoko is always a popular pastime and the second is Asphalt 2 and who out there doesn't like a racing game right? But the graphics are cool and you can control the vehicles by using the stylus or finger. Although I successfully installed quite a few Java based games, the problem was I couldn’t play most, as they all require the device to have a keypad. Darn it!!!
