The phones also include different User Interfaces specific to their carriers, Verizon Wireless and Telus.
The Standby screen displays the network type, signal strength, Location setting, and battery condition across the top.
A shortcut can be set to a program (including downloaded ones), a menu, a library, and other features on the phone.
The phone has a 3.5mm stereo jack for headphones and a microUSB connector for syncing with a PC and charging.
Pressing the phone icon brings up a standard 12-key alphanumeric keypad, as well as options for speaking or drawing the number.
The phonebook can store multiple numbers, email addresses, and other information for each contact, including a personalized image and ringtone option.
Other options include multishot, shutter sounds (three of them), auto focus, self-timer, and four different shot types (Normal, Panorama, Split, and Frame).
One can bring up a standard keypad with letters and use multi-tap (T9 (predictive text)) or a word-guessing system.
In each of these modes, the user must manually change the setting (capital or lowercase letters, numbers, or symbols) to allow the phone to know what type of character is being input.
