It supports multi-touch and features bunch of usual sensors: proximity, accelerometer, compass, ambient light detector and also a secondary VGA video call camera (640 x 480 pixels). Sliding the phone to the right side will unveil a full QWERTY keyboard that is finally well designed and with rubber buttons as everybody demanded.

The 8 megapixel camera is located on the back and has dual LED flash, 2x-3x digital zoom and fixed focus. It can record HD movies at 720p resolution and play them through HDMI. Applications for Photo editor and Video Editor are supported.

Different from iOS, it support Flash and comes with preloaded applications: Vlingo, F-Secure Anti-theft for Mobile, Mail for Exchange, IBM Lotus Notes Traveler, Quickoffice, Adobe PDF reader and Ovi Maps(free navigation). If you intend to have even more apps, you should go to Ovi Store and choose the ones that suits you the best. The processor, An ARM 11 680 MHz comes with OpenGL 2.0 to enables 3D graphics over Games and other apps(maybe). Internal memory has 256 Mb RAM and 1024 Mb ROM one.
