Network and connections
T-Mobile and the famous Fender guitar manufacturer, together for a device with complete and above all musical features. The technical characteristics are good, with a GSM Quadband network receiver that guarantees optimal coverage anywhere in the world, thanks also to UMTS support. To browse the Internet there is a modem with HSDPA data traffic management. In this way the HTML browser can easily open any type of page. The phone can be synchronized with your home PC, thanks to the USB 2.0 data output. Or again, files can be exchanged with compatible devices via Bluetooth. There is also a built-in antenna for Wi-Fi.

Design and features
The exterior look immediately recalls the colors of guitars, with wood grain and chiaroscuro effects. The monoblock body maintains normal dimensions, with a thickness of 14.7 mm and a weight of 116 grams. Portability is therefore guaranteed without any compromise. The display is a TFT at 320x480 pixels, capable of displaying up to 65,000 colors. It is also equipped with Capacitive Touch Screen technology, for optimal and fast management of any content. Some function keys and a trackpad help with use.
