Messaging and Contacts. According to the guy in the Sagem booth, Sagem is the worldwide leader in biometrics.
Design is nice, if a little chunky by today's standards - all the silver bits are metal (aluminium maybe?). Flip can rotate 180° and fold flat against the device. Mechanics were a bit loose and unfinished, but that was because it was a prototype I guess.
Cam was 2MP I think, but wasn't paying too much attention.
