Lined up underneath the display are four backlit, capacitive buttons for primary Android 2. On back of the Anthem 4G sit its 5-megapixel camera lens and LED flash, both encased in a rectangular silver strip.
Also here is a plastic battery door, which is thin but coated in a soft-touch surface that provides a sure grip. I also like the curved stripes that run diagonally across it. I admit these grooves are a bit gaudy but they do add texture and some extra eye candy.
