The unit is slim and partially wrapped in a faux leather skin (either red or chocolate), which we’ve seen before in their designer 
ranges, but not so much in Nokia’s "straight" phones. Inside there’s a basic 2 megapixel camera, numerous media players (although noticably you don’t get stereo headphones in the box), and the usual suite of personal productivity software solutions. It all runs on the third version of the S60 operating system and compared to earlier phones it’s pretty quick at performing most functions.
The outside of the phone has more buttons than usual. Nokia are trying to give you dedicated buttons to make life easier, but to be honest, I found it a bit fiddly and if you forget to lock the keypad when you close the phone you could be doing all sorts of weird and wonderful things. Some users (those without fat fingers, probably) will like it though. There’s buttons for conference calling and contacts and the all important mute/unmute.
The active standby screen is as on earlier phones, but I have to say that the font size is a little on the small side. This seems to be a common problem throughout the phone and for the life of me, I couldn’t find how to increase it.
