Being 3G enabled, this mobile phone allows surfing the web with great speed. The WCDMA protocol works behind the scene to achieve this.

An FM radio and a multi-media player have also been integrated into this music phone. A 3.5mm Nokia AV connector is housed in this phone as well. Other applications like schedulers, reminders, games, access to Nokia services like Ovi and more are available too.
