I had a chance to handle this phone after my friend bought it last week. As far as the design is concerned, holding the phone in my palms was a bit awkward considering the width (56.5 mm) of the phone but it is an advantage when it comes to a bigger screen experience. The phone with a plastic body is light weight but still sturdy and looks plain and simple. From the design perspective there is a dedicated keypad lock/unlock button on the right side. Virtual keypad means minimum buttons on the front panel and maximum screen size. The capacitive touchscreen performs well and the interface is intelligently designed for easy navigation of menu items. The menu icons can be docked on the left side for quick access or pulled out from the menu which spans 3 pages that can be easily flicked through. The 2MP camera shoots well in good lighting conditions and the single finger image zoom option is handy while viewing pictures. The phone has a gamut of applications and widgets to integrate with the internet and the social networking world. The sound quality is good and watching videos in a wide screen is comforting as well.
