It has also a 3-megapixel camera that records picture and video while a second camera on the front of the handset allows users to participate in video conferences.

The suggested retail price of this cool gadget is $599.95. It will be sold unlocked hence users will be able to use it with any GSM carrier. Find similar products here.
