Evaluation

While the designs of many Japanese mobile phones have featured unrefined rear surface details and a lack of harmony with their front surfaces, the "silky-back" finish of this design expresses a sleek, noise-free feeling of high quality throughout the entire handset, through use of two-colored aluminum as on the front surface of the unit. As part of the user interface, the online widget screen, which can be customized freely using the full touch screen, also has been highly evaluated.
