Java

Java is often a forgotten feature on many phones, and is probably used in many ways without you even realising. If you play games on your phone, it's likely they are java apps. But java is so much more than games. It allows you to add extra functionality to your handset by installing third party apps to the phone. Add email functionality with Gmail, add a web browser from Opera Mini, add a business directory with Yell.com or keep an eye on a new purchase on Ebay.

Music Player

Expandable Memory

With phones offering so much these days, memory is a premium. Very often on board memory is very low, so an option to add extra memory with the addition of a memory card is invaluable. If you are using your phone as a media player, expandable memory allows you to add songs, store videos and keep photos, and take them with you, all located on your phone.

Web Browser

With a built in Web Browser you can access internet sites directly from your handset. Check the latest scores, look up train times, get a weather report, or find the answer to the question in the pub quiz. With the inbuilt web browser you have the power of the internet with you, wherever you are.
