vibrant touch screen, easy to use, palms web OS and deck of cards feature, camera, had a pretty good web browser, compared to other smartphones. very thin and pocket friendly design. very good price for a phone like this

The screen was not all that big, which made it hard to do things like web browsing, battery life could have been better for a phone of this size, had a bad flash for the camera, and no self portrait mirror. hard to use keyboard
