"The new smartphone is based on SurePress technology that offers customers a powerful and unique mix of advanced communications and multimedia features for consumers and business professionals," RIM's managing director (India), Frenny Bawa, said in a press release in Mumbai on Monday.

It also allows the user to type a letter with one thumb even while the other thumb may still be touching or resting on another letter, enabling faster typing and multi-key actions, the release stated.

The smartphone has glass lens, stainless steel back plate and a high resolution display.

It also has a 256 MB of flash memory and 2 GB of on-board memory storage and a microSD/SDHD memory card slot that supports upto 16 GB cards.
