- Android 1.6 OS ( soon be upgraded to 2.1)
- Video processing at 24 frames per second means a delight for a Movie freak
- 3.2-inch multi-touch capacitive TFT, Screen resolution of 480 x 320 pixels

- 5 mega pixel camera with auto-focus function, Camera dedicated key and LED flash light

- Lack of qwerty keyboard, Can't say much about life of Touch Screen
- 600MHz processor is too slow
