It is rumored to have a touchscreen and will likely also be capable of making calls judging solely from the 12-button phone keypad directly to the right of the screen.

The screen is 4.8 inches big and you can obviously use your fingers to navigate it or there is also an optical mouse built into the little bull’s eye looking thing you see next to the screen.
