The videophone offer three viewing choices - Self view, Other Party view, or Combo view. It also supports a Snapshot/Privacy option, which sends a high resolution video image and temporarily halt any new video transmission, until the user wants it to continue. The system will not send any video until the user approves transmission.

The device is fully ITU-T standard H.324 compliant, captures the image via a Built-in CMOS camera, and the display is a 3.5" TFT LCD screen. It does not require service fees, contracts or subscriptions.
