The front side of the box has 15+12 keys. 15 keys are located under the screen and although it may seem that they are too closely located, the size and convexity of these keys are excellent.

There is a key which can be used as a shortcut for different functions, and next to it there are three more keys for microphone, phonebook and conference call.

The rest of the keys that are located in the other part of the phone have also great quality and they are very big. Ringing volume can be adjusted by using the # key.

The editing key is located on the right side of the phone, under the voice recording key, and by holding it, the voice managing of the phone is being activated.
