The lower panel has just 3 keys - Call and end on the either side of the central dedicated key which can give access to lot of programs like the Music player, messages, Internet connectivity options etc.

The side panel has a mix of plastic and metal structures, and on the left side there is a key dedicated for camera access, and the same can be used to click for capturing pictures.

    I like the sleek design, in addition, I don’t really care with the zoom quality (since I never zoom my shots, it’s either I move closer or dont’ shoot).

    but since it’s aiming for the stylish and the monster media stuff, I don’t think I’ll put any budget on that model.

    The phone very much looks like the Omnia, iPhone and many others…though it does look much thinner.

    How much do you reckon it will cost?
