There’s one thing these specs are missing
It doesn’t say the OS
it runs EPOC32 release 5 (would later be renamed to Symbian OS)
Proof? Here’s what it says on Wikipedia
2000 — The Ericsson R380 is released with EPOC32 Release 5, marking the first use on a phone of what's to become known as Symbian OS (as of Release 6).

Mine's still in mint condition though it sometimes has some touch issues in the right bottom corner of the screen. Other than that it's a really awesome phone.

Still got my R380 with it's original battery (that also houses the stylus).
There are signs of the time on it especially the screen that has some pixels that stopped working.
Else the R380 still going strong.
My R380 was delivered with an table stand for charging and computer sync.

Used one back in the early naughties. Back then the phone was way ahead of its time. Few phones could match the features the r380 had

Ericsson R380s VS. N, 19 Aug 2001Ericsson R380s is (best) but Nokia 9210 is (BETTER)!!!.Comments from the millenium is so funny. This must be what it felt like when future generation reads our comments. "This phone is better than that phone!" Lol. Oh, wait. Back then human dont use LOL. I mean, hahahaha. Future people probably using emojis. Sorry, gsmarena havent support emojis, not even in 2016.
