Product Features

Type	Candy Bar

Band	Tri
Different frequency bands are used in different countries. Most phones can be used across Europe as they are Tri Band. You will need a quad band phone if you plan to travel to the USA.
Screen Resolution (pixels)	101x80
The number of pixels the screen has. The more you have, the more detail the screen can display, given a high quality source. A breakdown of resolutions can be found on Wikipedia here
XHTML Browser	Yes
XHTML stands for Extensible Hypertext Markup Language. XHTML enabled phones are able to browse most internet content.
WAP	Yes
Simple Web browser
Talk Time (hours)	5
Talk time dictates how long your phone’s battery will last if you were to talk continuously on it from a full charge.
Standby Time (hours)	250
Standby Time dictates how long your phone would last if left on standby, ready to receive calls, but with nothing else being done to it.
Dimensions (mm)	101x45x19
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.
Games	Yes
This is an indication of whether or not the phone has video games installed to play such as Snake or Sudoku.
Phone book capacity (names)	50 + SIM
A phone’s phone book capacity indicates how many contact details it can store. Many modern phones come with optional memory cards that can be used to store extra contacts. A contact file is generally small and so ‘Practically Unlimited’ is often given because you would have to have thousands of people in your address book to fill it up.
