The unit measures 129 mm x 60 mm wide whilst being 16 mm thick and weighing 156 g in weight. It is due to be released soon, and is highly anticipated.

Located underneath the main display screen is a full QWERTY keyboard which offers simplistic text and data entry. In addition the handset utilises touch screen functionality, with navigation provided by the Motorola enterprise user interface. In addition the handset comes with an accelerometer sensor which automatically rotates imagery dependent upon the aspect of the display screen.
