look about it whilst offering much of what the consumer desires in a phone in the modern era.

pixels. The phone provides an LED flash, which is always useful when light conditions are not favourable for a good quality image. For those people who prefer
video recording and playback, which is a growing number of people, this phone offers this alternative. There are many situations where a static image does not convey the moment in the right way and the video element of this phone ensures the
option is available.

The FM radio with RDS ensures that additional entertainment options are available other than downloaded music files.

only 12 mm thick. The phones internal memory is 15 Mb, however this can be expanded up to an impressive 4 GB by using the memory stick micro facility. The phone is an impressive mobile phone with enough features to make it interesting. The unit has
an appeal that transcends its features.
