It\u2019s a PocketPC sized phone that supports GSM &amp; UMTS communications. It came with Windows Mobile 5.0 and had a few Service provider installed applications (F-Secure Anti-Virus, TomTom Navigator 5 for Switzerland, SBB Timetable) and the Swisscom Mobile Assistant tools. While the phone looked good, I have not been too happy about the performance of the user interface. Additional programs like the SPB Pocket Plus also gave me lots trouble, and the worse, was the high quanity of missed calls.Swisscom has made available on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swisscom-mobile.ch\/scm\/dlc-en.aspx?dm=Overview&amp;dg=SoftwareAndManual&amp;pa=0x0x100x6x0x0x0x0x0&amp;odg=SoftwareAndManual\" title=\"their support pages\" target=\"_blank\">their support pages<\/a> an upgrate to Windows Mobile 5.0 AKU 3.3 (<span id=\"COBControl8207__ctl0__ctl17__ctl3_lblSoftwareAnnex_ShortDescription\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swisscom-mobile.ch\/scm\/dlc\/RUU_Hermes_VF_CH_WWE_2%5B1%5D.08.170.1_6275_1.32.00.00_108_Ship.exe\" title=\"Update V2.08.170.1\" target=\"_blank\">Update V2.08.170.1<\/a>).
