To the right of the left selection button are five buttons laid out in a cross shape. These are the arrow or navigation buttons.
Just below this are two more rectangular buttons on the left and right hand side. The left one is printed with a green telephone handset and is the call button. The one on the right, printed with a red telephone handset, is the end call/power button.
Next is a row of four small rectangular buttons. From left to right these are:

On the bottom edge are two small square recesses. These are the battery connectors which come into play when using a desk charger to charge the phone.
