The body of the set is quite nice and looks pretty attractive in hand. The capacitive screen is also quite good with its 3.2" display with a resolution of 360*640 pixels.
The phone is powered with a 1GHz chip which grants it good speeds and the phone runs quite smoothly with negligible amount of lags and crashes. With its 512 MB RAM, the phone is quick and the touch is also quite smooth and responsive.
The phone is provided with a 5MP camera also equipped with a dual LED flash. The flash gives the phone an added advantage and the phone is capable of good quality photos even in low light. It does not contain a secondary camera. With 3G available, absence of secondary camera for video calling is a bit odd.
The phone runs on Symbian Anna. The OS is quite decent but its limitations get reflected when compared against its rivals, the Android and iOS. The interface is not that flash but its OK. It runs decently on the phone, all credit to its 1 GHz processor.
Overall, this is quite a decent phone with all its features, specs, software but it still has a long way to go to in terms of its OS interface. Anna cannot stand before its rivals, Android and iOS. It still has to go a long way to go in terms of apps and interface. But neglecting the OS part, this phone provides pretty good value for money.
