. Like the 3200, custom rear face plates can be created by the user. A stencil is available in the pack. While features such as infrared and a built-in FM radio are removed, new features such as rhythmic flashing lights (two on each side), wave messaging, voice dialing, themes, and a video recorder are added.

The phone has a built-in browser which seems to be very slow (in data processing) to many. It can download files of any format but cannot open SIS, SVG, WAV, MP3, MP4 etc. files. It downloads many files which are Copyright Protected. These files cannot be sent via MMS. This phone supports MMS under 100 kilobytes. The java games or applications must be under 120 kb or the phone cannot run them. It has a memory shortage and often causes Java applications to stop for the sake of "Out of Memory" problem.

Supported formats:
Image: JPG, JPEG, BMP, WBMP, PNG, GIF.
Sound: MID, AMR, MP3 (only firmware v5.10 or higher).
Java: JAR, JAD.
Theme: NTH
