Let's start with the technical specifications. The network receiver is a GSM Triband, on frequencies of 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz, which guarantees excellent coverage in every part of the world. UMTS support is not present, however advanced network and Internet features are available thanks to the GPRS modem. Through the HTML browser you will thus be able to open Web pages without any problems. Also present are Bluetooth and the USB data cable output.
