Each of the clamshell's weighs about 110 grams, including the battery and measure 92 x 48 x 20 mm. They feature a 1 megapixel digital camera, a QVGA 16 million colors display with 240 x 320 pixel resolution, microSD memory expansion, Internet browser, E-Mail client, Bluetooth, Infrared, and USB connectivity.

Both quad-band GSM (850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz) phones feature GPRS and EDGE support. As for the entertainment options, the handsets contain Visual Radio, FM stereo and a digital music player supporting MP3/AAC playback.
