Nokia emphasizes that the front face of the phone acts as a mirror, though we're not sure how that helps a user "stay organized with easy access to e-mail, calendar, Internet connectivity, and file sharing applications." Features include Bluetooth, a personal organizer, messaging and e-mail, a 1.3-megapixel camera, a music player, an FM radio, a voice recorder, a wireless Web browser, and a speakerphone. It comes in two dual-band versions: GSM 850/1900 and GSM 900/1800.

The candy-bar model also has a microSD card slot and a 3.5mm headset jack.
