Promoted as the world's smallest i-mode handset at launch. The aluminum body is coated in several layers and has an anodized finish. Blue LEDs offer a nice accent, for an appearance that is cool and intelligent. Intended for discerning users, the Premini satisfies consumer tastes and needs that have traditionally not been part of the conventional mobile phone market to forge a new market. Despite the Premini's extremely compact form, the handset feels easy to use because of a tiered, sloping button layout, buttons along the edge that provide tactile feedback, and other touches.
