There's nothing remarkable about the phone's features, except that you will be pleasantly surprised by the 2D-like menu navigation system. I found it a nice change from the usual list menu, but then I also found the navigation a bit sluggish.


The phone is equipped with WAP, GPRS (Class 10) and has OTA support. Then there's the usual — calendar, alarm clock, tasks, world time, currency converter etc.

I like that the phone comes bundled with a lot of JAVA games that are fun to play, which allows me to inform you that it supports Java MIDP 2.0. It supports Bluetooth too, but only 1.2, and also A2DP.

You can stay connected because it also has an email client. To be honest the phone does have everything you need.


The music player is just decent and supports MP3, AAC, AMR, WAV and MID formats. It comes with an Equalizer (manual as well as presets) and A-B repeat function.

The video player is quite elementary and uses the old QCIF (176x144) and CIF (352x288) recording technology that saves data in MP4 or 3GP formats, with sound.

The phone is also equipped with an FM radio, which works fine except that the reception quality is really bad indoors.


The 3 MP camera has a flash and is supposed to have autofocus with effect settings. Phew! There doesn’t seem to be much that the phone isn't bundled with, yet there are few things that perform to expectations.

You can control exposure, color balance etc, but the picture reproduction is just about acceptable. You get very noisy pictures, and there's quite a lot of detail loss.


Would you buy it?
