The inner box
The box is colorful and eye-catching. The Android feel is apparent compared to Netphone 701 which comes in a flat black box. I guess the packaging design is to attract YOUNGer buyers.
Hello, Samsung Galaxy Y!

The box has the following items: the unit, wall charger, microSD Adaptor, stereo headset, battery, manuals, Smart Netphone instructions, installer CD, and a micro USB charger.
Smart Netphone guide
The Netphone manual contains a concise, easy-to-follow illustrated guide in setting up and using the Samsung Galaxy Y.
Samsung Galaxy Y
Samsung Galaxy Y is very light and will fit inside the pocket. The corrugated steel ensures a no-slippage grip of the mobile, something most mobile makers fail to address.
