Widget Hotkeys enable users to personalise the phone to directly access favourite features for weather, news or personal updates. A new feature includes Clear Memo Capture which captures text, handwritten notes and drawings with maximum clarity, offering a different way to record information.

Other than a 5 megapixel camera, a 60MB internal memory and microSD card slot (up to 16GB) should be good enough for music and photo files storage.
