The simple and intuitive Fastap alphanumeric keypad empowers users to enter text in nine different languages including Spanish, English and Portuguese. Mobile consumers can also instantly access applications with the Fastap keypad's one-touch capability (M=Messaging, C=Camera, P=Phonebook), allowing users to directly access key phone features and services. Whether sending a message, inputting a mobile web search query or accessing an application, consumers will find that the GSFT779 makes their mobile life simple.

The UTStarcom GSFT779 featuring Fastap is designed to strike the perfect balance of fashionable styling users expect with the enhanced functionality they need, all packaged in a mainstream mobile flip phone measuring only 15.4 MM (.6") thick, 96.5 MM (3.8") in height and 49.5 MM (1.9") wide with a weight of 76 grams (2.7 oz.).
