The navigation keys are a part of the display at the bottom.

There is a 3.5mm audio jack on the top edge on a rubberised panel.

On the right edge, there are two ejectable slots. One of the slots is for SIM while the other is a hybrid slot which acts as both, a SIM card slot and a microSD card slot.
