The time of bizarre and weird-looking phones is here again! What started off with the likes of the Nokia 7600 and the likes has now culminated in the 7705 - the latest example of phone designing gone er... off track?
Well, the 7705 (yeah, that's what we're talking about here) doesn't look bad, but then a lot depends on what side of the (design) divide you stand. Whatever the case, the 7705 "Twist" is one phone that will not go unnoticed. The design is downright revolutionary. While the idea of social networking integration is hardly original, the form factor of the phone might just be! The 7705 comprises of a screen dominated front devoid of many buttons. There's a large "lever" at the right side of the phone that acts as the swivel for the physical QWERTY keyboard that hides under the screen. To use the keyboard, all you need to do is to pull the keyboard and it will swivel open.
That's about the "visual" part of the device. As for features, the 7705 comes with a decent 3 megapixel camera, HTML Browser, support for various mail clients. The large ring on right is called a 'Contact Light Ring' that will flash different colors depending on who is contacting you.
If you have liked this one, please hold your horses before you rush out to buy one. For now, it seems the device will only get to Verizon customers in the US.
PS: Looking at close up images of the phone, the UI sure does not seem to be your "familiar" Nokia UI. No wonder the handset looked dicey. And look! No Nokia Logo anywhere!
