The device has few keys on the sides. On the left panel is the camera key and below it is a multi-purpose rocker, which functions as the scroll wheel, and a volume rocker. Just below the multi purpose rocker is the slot of the microSD card. On the right side of the phone is the 2.5-mm headphone port, while the bottom right houses the stylus.
The mic and a multi-purpose port for charging and data transfer are at the bottom of the phone. The front panel has a 2.8-inch wide screen. The ear piece with two LEDs is just above the screen. The left LED glows indicating the active network while the right one glows when the Bluetooth is on and while receiving message. The left LED glows red while charging.
Below the screen is a circular D-pad with six keys around it. The D-pad is a four-way navigation with the middle key acting as a shortcut for the sound recorder. On the right of the D-pad is the soft key and below it is the call key. Long press on the Window key opens a short menu for programs, profiles and brightness adjustment of the screen. On the right of the D-pad is the soft key. Below it is the end button and the direct GPS key.
The homescreen of the phone has four quick menu icons for email, setting options for sound and notifications, connectivity mode and the screen orientation icon.
