Other features of the handset include a music player, the easy-to-use and intuitive TouchWiz user interface that allows for fast navigation through photo albums, maps or Internet, as well as support for widgets, which offer fast access to applications and allow the owner of the handset to personalize the homescreen. The device includes an 80MB internal memory, as well as a microSDHC memory card slot with support for up to 16GB of additional storage space.
