Android Features
The phone is a UMTS handset and the demo was on HSDPA 3.6Mbps, based on a Qualcomm 528MHz processor, with a Synaptics capacitive touch screen and 128MB of RAM and 256MB of flash. The Android's interface and menu structure features a pattern-based unlock screen. Users can create shortcuts by pressing down a finger and going through menus.

The phone will feature tools such as zoom, a compass, site navigation, and Google Maps capabilities. When the first handsets are available, software will be released as open source. The platform was designed to be generic so it will work with touch screen devices, D-pad devices and trackball devices.
