The TelstraOne interface, as previously mentioned in our Sony Ericsson W705a review, give users access to functions like dialling, SMS messaging, installed applications, and contact list. The main screen displays various applets like weather, breaking news, slideshow, and mail notifications, with Telstra adding a My Place shortcut that lists various Telstra services.

The main interface is placed on top of the Motorola and Windows Mobile OS. The A3100 is a candy-bar type phone that measures 110 x 59.7 x 13.7mm and weighs 119 grams. Up front, users can find an omni-directional trackball navigation, call pick-up and end buttons, secondary camera for video conferencing, and a 2.8-inch QVGA with resistive touch panel. The power button, 3.5mm jack, and stylus port are located on top of the unit, while the volume buttons and USB port are located along the left side. Finally, the 3-megapixel camera with flash are located at the unit's rear.

The A3100 runs on a Qualcomm MSM 7201A chip, 128MB of RAM, and has 256MB of flash memory. A microSD card slot is available, allowing users to push the unit's storage capacity to 32GB. The unit also comes with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and is HSDPA-enabled for faster Internet access via Telstra's Next G Network.
