Having launched its Nokia 2650, the company of Nokia conquered a great share of the market of low-end clamshells. It pressed other players dramatically, and particularly Motorola. The necessity to renew this solution matured long ago, and the company decided not to search for new forms, but applied a cosmetic renewal. Three new body colours (brown, golden and silvery).
The construction of the clamshell is unordinary; it may be opened in an angle of almost 180 degrees. Its internal surface is of rubber and resembles the one similar in Nokia 1100 (the key block). The classic joint is absent here and a spring hidden behind a rectangular insertion plays its role. The device may be opened and closed easy and the spring like finishes the last quarter of the motion by itself.
The outer surface of the device has prominent ribs. This makes its unusual appearance and ennobles the model. In general the device looks more expensive than it should for its target group, Motorola's engineers tried to achieve the same effect in a line of their products (the most known is ะก350). In general this class of products may be characterized with a slogan "look expensive and cost reasonably".
There are no any control buttons on the outer surface of the phone and there is only a SIM-card connector on the right surface. Having pulled the slide rails out you may insert a card. Opening the connector while the phone works doesn't lead to its turning off, that's enough to close the connector and the device will start working again and registering in the network. The manual advises not to do that. I liked the function since it is not so long to get the card out and insert another one. It is necessary to get used to the process of changing the card, that's hard to take the card out for the first time.
