What reviewers say
All About Symbian, Mobile-review and The Register's Pocket-lint review praise the conventional keypad, useful camera and strong connectivity. All About Symbian likes the photographs and speaker but finds internal memory cramped, with applications closing under memory pressure. Mobile-review criticises short battery life and initial case fit. Both encounter some reboots; The Register's review unit remains stable. The Register and All About Symbian find the camera cover flimsy, and The Register warns that opening it bypasses the keypad lock and can cause accidental pocket photographs.
Active-matrix LCD with 176 × 208 pixels and 262,144 colours, original consumer specifications. Native refresh rate and physical diagonal are not published in the recovered maker specifications.
Brightness detail
Automatic display brightness control, original consumer specifications. No brightness in nits published.
Performance
Storage
10 MB
Memory
10 MB of internal dynamic memory shared by contacts, messages, photographs, videos, calendar and applications. This is user storage, not RAM. All About Symbian's less than 8 MB free application memory after boot is a tested remaining-memory figure, not a physical RAM capacity.
Storage type
Hot-swappable reduced-size dual-voltage MMC. Reader operates at 1.8 V and requires cards supporting both 1.8 V and 3.0 V. Original standard package lists a 64 MB card; Nokia explicitly notes variation by market and network operator. No maximum supported card capacity inferred.
