Apart UI there is a micro-USB port, a 3.mm headphone jack at top, with the volume rocker and lock key on the right a second full-sized SIM (308 ) on the opposite edge.

And there is more to offer as the new faster Xpress brower that allows for up to 90% compression, Nokia Nearby for local search, and the same swipe-based UI like N9. and a very fair pricing of $99 without contract, which is a decent smart phone isn't it ?, hope the new Asha lines will debut soon, which might see first in India.
