Nokia 7705 Twist coming to Verizon Wireless

A very interesting mobile phone design has been released by Nokia - Nokia 7705 Twist!

Mobile Burn said:

The Nokia Twist is a 3G capable device that sports a 2.4-inch QVGA (320 x 240 pixel) display that can render up to 262,000 different color shades. It weighs about 98g (3.4oz) and is 69mm (2.71in) square in size. Bluetooth support for headsets and stereo headphones is also on-board, but those that prefer to use wired headsets and headphones will have to get by with a 2.5mm port.

Notable features on the 7705 Twist include a 3 megapixel camera that can record video, and built-in photo editing software. Nokia's Habitat mode homescreen keeps the Twist's user close in touch with those contacts that are used the most, pushing contact photos up on the homescreen in a very intuitive way that makes keeping in touch very easy.

The phone does look interesting, is small and when twisted open, it transforms itself into a good sized phone with full QWERTY keyboard. I do like the colourful home screen.

Basic specs are as follows:

• 3G capable device
  
• Full QWERTY keyboard
  
• 2.4-inch QVGA (320 x 240 pixel) display
  
• 262,000 different color shades
  
• Weighs about 98g (3.4oz)
  
• 69mm (2.71in) square in size
  
• Bluetooth support
  
• 2.5mm jack port
  
• 3 megapixel camera
  
• 4.5 hours of talk time
  
• 13 days of standby time

A twisty & interesting idea of the phone design and small... but would you go for this phone?

Interesting design but will probably be a one off gimmick device, but then stranger thnigs happen.
Definitely one to see in person than online to see how tactile it is.
