Just occasionally, a manufacturing business designs something that looks so different from everything else that you just have to layover and stare. A suit in point is the new Nokia 7705 Twist, scoop to the Verizon network in the US.
It is called the "Twist" because of the unusual rotating design (Nokia’s first since the 7373). When closed, the 7705 is almost exactly square at 2.7 x 2.7 inches (69 x 69mm). However, springiness it a twist and a QWERTY keyboard slides out into sight.
Now, we admit that this is a pretty cool thing to do. The problem is, once you’ve played with the twirl keyboard a few times then the Nokia 7705 Twist beings to looking at a little ordinary,
One important affair that we motive to get out of the way is that this is a CDMA / EVDO device, rather than a GSM / UMTS one.. so the 7705 North Korean won’t work in EEC. There’s no meter reading that there volition ever be a GSM version, but it does at least appearance that Nokia tin can break out from design norms and come up with something strikingly different.
The Nokia 7705 Twist’s display is a conventional 2.4" 240 x 320 pel instrument panel, on the back is a 3 megapixel photographic camera with autofocus and flash lamp. The Twist supports stereo Bluetooth and microSD expandable storage, and the 7705 also has a vane browser, medicine player and tin can support BREW applications.
The 7705 isn’t the first off-the-bulwark design from Nokia. The Nokia 7600 was an early 3G earpiece that had a root word "tear" designing, the Nokia 7280 and 7380 "lip rouge" phones dispensed with the keypad birthday suit, and then there was the 7373 and 7370 rotators too. And who could forget the Nokia 7610’s weirdly deformed computer keyboard?
This is a CDMA EVDO 800 / 1900 MHz handset, inside is a smallish 860 mAh battery that can mightiness the earpiece for up to 4.5 hours talktime and 13 days standby time. One slightly irritation lineament is the small 2.5mm audio socket. It’s not a heavy twist, coming in at 3.44 ounces (98 grams). The unusual form is quite wide, but it should fit in a pocket.
It’s not a one thousand thousand mles away from the Nokia Surge on AT&T in terms of specification, although it is a very different looking French telephone. Verizon say that the Twist should be available to ordering from September 13th onwards at just under $100 after a $50 rabbet, when taken with a 2 class contract.
