phone download web pages in under a second, and
makes multi-tasking a snap.

card from a carrier abroad, and connect your phone to
a UMTS or GSM network.
Capture life's moments in full 1080p HD video with
your 8MP camera. Your phone’s 4.3" qHD
ColorBoost™ display makes video playback crisper
and more vivid than ever before.
Note: Certain apps and features may not be available in
all countries.
