- Unified email inbox
- SMS and MMS search
- Text message auto-delete after a user-defined thread size is reached
- Significantly improved camera controls with white balance, macro, effects, and more
- Improved keyboard layout, dictionary, and algorithm based on multi-touch support
- Double-tap zoom in browser, support for HTML5
- Bluetooth 2.1 support with addition of OPP and PBAP profiles
- “Better” graphics hardware acceleration
