The announcement claims three hours talk and up to twenty days standby; contemporary What Mobile quotes up to five and a half hours talk and eighteen days standby. These differing claims are retained rather than combined into a single runtime. Actual endurance depends on network and use. |

Contemporary December 2001 coverage also describes a fourth-quarter launch, while the February 2002 iXBT review describes recent European sales and later Russian distribution. The exact first retail month remains unresolved, so only 2001 is recorded; regional rollouts must not be treated as a universal date. |
