Expert Review

To the left of the phone is a button to lock the handset and a button to switch between tasks (multitasking). The memory card slot is also on this side, hidden by a dust cover.

The right of the phone has volume controls, a Photo Browser button and the hotkey for the camera. The lanyard loop hole is what is seen at the bottom right corner of the handset. The box pack comes with a stylus lanyard but we didn't receive it. The phone doesn't have a stylus compartment of its own but the phone is pretty responsive to touch input.

At the top of the phone is the multi-usage port. You can connect a USB cable, stereo headset as well as charge through this port.

The back of the phone is dominated by the 8MP camera optics that bulges out of the phone. The back of the phone has a chin, which is in level with the height difference created by the 8MP camera. The 8MP camera has an LED flash which is placed at one corner of the phone while the other corner is taken up by the speaker of the phone. The back of the phone has a metal casing, which is the cover for the battery compartment.

Overall I liked the design and the layout of the phone. However, in terms of build, I feel it could have been better. Nonetheless, the phone has a firm grip and doesn't slip off easily because of the streaked finish on its sides.
