A standard flip phone, the i412 is covered almost entirely in shiny blue plastic, save for a matte black band that runs around the perimeter of the phone. It measures 3.8 by 1.9 by .8 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.7 ounces. Though it isn't a rugged phone, the i412 feels solid. The hinge is sturdy and the inside is made of black and gray soft touch plastic that feels nice and grippy. A thin external display shows the battery life, date, ringer status, and time, but it's a bit awkward. The display is vertical, but the text reads horizontally, so you have to hold the phone sideways to read it properly. Inside, the 1.8-inch LCD has a depressingly low 128-by-160 resolution, which looks a bit soft and washed out. The number pad is comfortable, and the navigation and selection keys work fine. I had no problem making my way through the phone's simple UI, though the multiple menu pages are a bummer to flip through.
