There are endless amounts of downloadable apps available from the Android Market and Google services can also be accessed such as Google Maps, Google Search and Gmail.

The quality on screen is almost lifelike, and thanks to the AMOLED technology, vibrant colours can be experienced as well as conserving battery power and allows the phone to come in at just 11.9mm thick. The touchscreen phone is very responsive; capacitive technology is used which means the display will only respond to your finger, so there is no risk of hitting any other keys by mistake.

An accelerometer has also been added to rotate the angle of the screen and there is also a proximity sensor which automatically sets the screen to stand by when you are on a call.
