What reviewers say
Both reviews like the compact, solid slider and useful business tools, but criticise the small navigation and side keys. Both find office viewing and search useful, with editing requiring an upgrade. PhoneArena praises clear call audio but finds weak reception and slow menus. The GSMArena/MobilMania test finds satisfactory reception overall while noting dependence on signal conditions. PhoneArena considers the camera usable despite noise and poor colour; neither review treats it as a strong multimedia phone.
QVGA 320 × 240 LCD with up to 16 million colours in both production reviews; portrait screen, with resolution stored long side first. PhoneArena gives a 2.24-inch diagonal; a maker physical diagonal was not recovered, so no headline inches inferred.

Removable BL-5F in both production tests, described as 1000 mAh. An exact maker capacity specification was not recovered, so no headline capacity set. PhoneArena measures 4 hours 15 minutes of talk in its conditions; GSMArena/MobilMania reports four to five days on GSM. These are different workloads, not playback or universal endurance claims.
Wired charging
Separate charger connector. Exact issue 2 guide lists AC-3, AC-4 and AC-5, plus specified older chargers through CA-44. The GSMArena/MobilMania test confirms no charging through the computer data port; no wattage published in the maker guide.
