Nokia 7705 Twist

This is one neat cell phone. I could see myself using it even thought I think this is another phone marketed to teens and tweens. It has the habitat mode that we first saw on the Nokia Intrigue. It turns the phone into more of a contact centric phone than a menu centric one.

There are two habitat themes, Urban Jungle and Super World where you can choose avitars for your contacts. As you communicate with your contacts they come to the front of the screen so you can "thread" your communications.

The phone is square and it has a hinge that resembles a grommet. Inside that ring are colored alert lights for missed called, etc. The backside of the top of the flip is a mirror in case you'd like to take a nice self portrait. Let me rephrase that. The mirror takes up the whole topside of the top layer so it truly acts as a compact mirror that you might throw in your purse. Not just that teeny tiny mirror you find next to the lens so you can make sure your whole head is in the picture using the 3.0 MP camera/camcorder with flash.

It has VZ Navigator, VCast Music w Rhapsody VCast Video, Visual Voice Mail, Mobile Broadband Connect and Corporate Email already preloaded.

One last neat feature is the "Post to Blogs" allowing multimedia to be posted to a blog or social networking site.
