This is in sharp contrast with the curved design of the most modern phone and very square and the angle at which the overall design and build. It is also quite big and strong, not heavy or too big at all, but it feels heavy and well built and the overall fits easily into any pocket.

It is available in black, and brown sugar – otherwise known as gold – gold although limited to a few small elements on the main design. Overall, this is a design that will not be impressed or exciting, but elegant, durable and good to see, just do not expect full blown way at first sight.

Under the tent there was quite a bit happening. This 3.7-inch screen hides a slide-out qwerty keyboard and a 550MHz processor is powering everything. There are pre-installed 16GB of memory via microSD cards and can connect the phone via all the usual outlets including GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Quad-band.

This system has enough new features of 1.6 that is being used in other handsets, although not really innovative. Plus, having the latest version of the application means a greater choice of shops.

Browsing on a phone is a joy thanks to full support of the milestone for the multi-touch, something that no Droid. However, multi-touch is now only limited to certain applications, it unfortunately will not work for other built-in applications such as photo galleries.
