Customized Home Screen

This is where it all begins. From day one your three customisable home screens are live and always up to date – you decide what lives on them. One home screen for new emails and messages, one for your friends and social networks, and one for your favourite apps and games. It’s up to you. Adding shortcuts and widgets is fast and easy.

Covers

Express your individuality. Two additional premium covers with a vibrant matt finish are included in the box, so you can choose the right one to match your style. And because they are easy to switch, picking a cover to suit your mood is quick and hassle free. Plus you can choose wallpapers and themes for your home screens as well as add shortcuts for your favourite apps and friends.
