It’s a 3G device which will put considerable strain on the low rated battery. Wireless is the standard 802.11 and Bluetooth is the latest 4.0.

Battery:
The battery stands at 1500mAh. It’s poor only because nowadays we are so used to having batteries in phones which are easily above 2000mAh even for phones the size of this one. But regardless I will say it is sufficient enough unless using 3G because that’s where the strain will be felt. Another upside is that it’s a removable battery so it can be changed but then again who changes a phone’s battery nowadays.
Camera and Sound:
Camera wise it’s got a 2MP back camera and a VGA front camera. It only means one thing and that this is a typical budget phone or a low end phone which most people might buy as a secondary or a transition phase phone whereby they want to replace a broken/lost/old phone.
VGA camera technology is almost dead and the fact that a phone like this has that technology is for me a big disadvantage.
Sound wise it has 2 speakers with the loudspeaker in the rear. The sound output was similar to that of the 640XL model and that because like with 640 even this phone does not have specialized audio unit from a 3rd party vendor. It’s stock Microsoft audio and while in a quiet room the output is loud, when we head out to a bustling area we might just miss our phone calls. Vibration also does not help too much because it’s not strong enough to get our attention.
