The color external display is just 1.3 inches, but it shows all the information you need.

When the backlighting is off, though, the display disappears. Just above is the lens for the 1.3-megapixel camera.

The flat navigation array and keypad are spacious, but you can't dial by feel.

Over on the Chrono 2's left side you'll find a volume rocker and a Micro-USB charger port.

And on the right side are a camera shutter button and 3.5mm headset jack.

I liked the textured battery cover. The Chrono 2's skin is plastic, but the hinge is sturdy.
