Features
The phone has a stainless steel full metal body with a half-mirror screen. The front of the phone appears to be a mirror when the screen is off.[1] When the phone is closed there is a multi-functional scroll key.
The phone can also be used as a camera, with a dedicated button for taking pictures. The maximum resolution for pictures is 1600x1200 px.[2] The camera has auto focus certified by Schneider-Kreuznach.
The phone can be charged with the included proprietary USB cable[3] which plugs into the only port on the phone, making it impossible to use the included headset while charging, although it is still possible to use the phone while charging.
