Description
This is one of the first phones that will also support R-UIM or a Removable User Identity Module - a module that will allow CDMA users to transfer all account information, contact and save data from one device to another (much like SIM card in a GSM device). To make it even more exciting, the R-UIM can be used in GSM devices also and allow roaming across CDMA and GSM networks with the same multimode terminal or switch between a CDMA and GSM device (the CDMA and the GSM operators need to have a roaming agreement in place in order for this to work).

- Technology:
Technology - There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes. Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed. Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays.

Technology
- CDMA:
CDMA - Code Division Multiple Access. A technique of multiplexing, also called spread spectrum, in which analog signals are converted into digital form for transmission. For each communication channel, the signals are encoded in a sequence known to the transmitter and the receiver for that channel. The foremost application is digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800MHz band and 1.9GHz PCS band. CDMA phones are noted for their excellent call quality and long battery life.
