It looks very very nice - the middle "ball" is like a trackball you get on old laptops / new trackball mice, but glows white. The design is very stylish with a black body, silver sides, and silver accents, the design appears to mimic (nee copy?) the expensive Vertu Mobile, but feels very plasticy.The camera on the back, whilst only a 1.3 megapixel (1280 x 1024) camera, appears to be very clear and have a very high depth of field (from I would guess 10 / 15cm to infinity). It featurs a very small flash and a self-portrait mirror so you can take photos for your myspace profile. The only problem I can see with the device is that it wont stand up - you can place it lying down on it's back - but in any other position it falls over - which will be a pain if you ever want to take photos using the self-timer (not that it actually features a self-timer option). The tiny flash on the back acts like a "real" flash when used with a pre-flash to attempt red-eye reduction and then one flash when taking the picture. It's so tiny that I doubt it will have much effect. The options are very basic limited to: flash (off, on, automatic), white balance (auto, sun, cloud, night, indoor, incandescent, flourescent), picture size (large 1.3mp, med VGA, small 320x240), picture quality (normal, fine, superfine), store pictures (internal, memory card - micro sd), and folder options. It comes with a 128mb Micro-SD card if you buy it from Vodaphone - which is quite generous compared to the tiny 16mb memory cards you get with digital cameras.
