It was infact released in 2006, and now has features considered out of date eg dual band GSM, so that you cannot roam in some countries of the world, and it has a small screen at 128 x 160 pixels, nevertheless the key features of a phone ie voice and texts are well served. It has 7 hours of talk time and SMS and MMS support with Java for games. There are no bells and whistles here but the phone comes recommended as it is exceptionally cheap at the moment, and is just fine for voice and text.
