Nicer design than the usual brown phones they make. What is those 3 small yellow things below the lens?? Looks like more LED'S cos I see a white one too.

The dots on the back are contacts for the docking station. The UI is much nicer that what I have on my Desire now. I think its a girly phone judging from the charm thing.

The colors just remind me of a new purse my GF bought.

But coming back to topic, HTC made a good move adding a battery like that. At least it has the 2 3g bands used here.
