With dual SIM cards
Enjoy hassle-free switching of your phone numbers without having to remove and swap your SIM cards. Your Philips mobile phone is specially designed to accommodate two SIM cards. To switch between the two cards, simply select the desired SIM card on the phone menu.
Use the touch screen and integrated stylus to switch to an interface that is simple, intuitive, and comfortable to use. The easy-to-use touch screen lets you quickly navigate menus, write SMS, personalize and give emotion to your pictures, play games, and access other applications.
Capture special moments with the phone's 3 megapixel camera. You can take photos even in dim lighting conditions, all thanks to the built-in flash.
Put the fun and excitement of the most vivid and colorful graphics and photos right at your fingertips with the large 262K color display that features excellent image quality and response time.
The intuitive and fast way to write text messages. Simply write on the touch screen as you would write on a piece of paper to have the phone convert your handwriting into an SMS (Short Message Service) text message. The feature has built-in handwriting recognition capability in both Chinese (traditional and simplified) and English (Roman alphabet).
Use the USB data cable to transfer MP3 music files to your phone for a superior audio experience on the go. You can also personalize your ringtone using your MP3 files.
The video capture function lets you record precious moments in MPEG4 or H263 format. Play it back on your phone or PC.
You can now enjoy extra capacity and storage of multimedia files by inserting a MicroSD memory card into the built-in memory card slot of your phone.
