This is a candy bar mobile phone set with physical controls and slim profile. Grey looks nice with purple slight touches. Feeling is nice when one holds it; sturdiness along with comfort. 2.4” display is sharp, and covers more than half of the entire front space. Brightness and backlight timing can be modified through controls.

The controls include call/end buttons, two soft keys, a back button and a photo gallery shortcut; all of these are almost flat though nicely spaced. The navigation toggle, on the other hand, is quite protruding and gives a nice palpable sensation. Same tactile feel is available with the keys of alpha numeric keypad.

The 5 mp camera starts automatically with the removal of lens cover. Photos can be snapped in 4 resolutions from 1.2 mp to 5 mp. There are numerous features in camera including autotimer, a low light setting, three focus settings (auto, landscape, and macro), five white balance settings (daylight, cloudy, tungsten, auto, and fluorescent), a multi-shot mode, a six shutter sounds, a silent option, and red eye reduction. Xenon flash adds to the delight. Editing options include crop, resize, rotate, tag and effects.
