Targeted at the stylish youth, it boasts a full QWERTY keyboard for quick text messaging, and also features a number of multimedia options like an XHTML browser, VCAST Music with Rhapsody, Bluetooth support and integrated A-GPS.

The gimmick of the Twist is no doubt the Contact Light Ring, which serves as the phone’s pivot point and lights up in different colors when you receive incoming calls, texts and voicemail messages. On the front, there is a 2.4-inch 262k-color display with a 320x240-pixel resolution, which supports the nature-inspired Habitat mode. When this mode is activated, your contacts will be presented in chronological order on the screen, allowing you to organize your calls and messages easily.

Swivel to open the phone you will find a full QWERTY keypad that comes with several dedicated buttons for quick access to features such as the camera, web browsing, messaging, speakerphone and more. The Twist shows a compact square factor as it measures 2.71" high by 2.71" wide by 0.59" deep and weighs 3.44 ounces, making it perfect to be slipped into your pocket.

With features focused on messaging, the new phone supports threaded text and multimedia messaging, instant messaging as well as email. It offers POP3 access for email accounts like Yahoo, Hotmail and AOL, while Verizon’s RemoSych allows consumers to manage their emails, calendars and contacts in real-time.

As a 3G handset, the Twist supports the full range of Verizon’s 3G services, which include VZ Navigator for turn-by-turn directions, V Cast Video for streaming video content, and VCAST Music with Rhapsody for downloading music. It is integrated with a decent 3.2-megapixel camera that supports flash, 4x digital zoom, auto-focus and video recording. After taking photos and videos, you can use the "Post to Blogs" function to share them with friends on blogs or social networking sites. Additionally, there are features like a built-in music player, stereo Bluetooth, a 2.5mm headset jack, a micro-USB port, 119MB internal memory and external memory support of microSD cards up to 16GB.

Combining a square form factor with a swivel design, the Nokia 7705 Twist shows an innovative and neat look that catches everyone’s eyes. Although it is not an enhanced multimedia phone, the younger Verizon customers will still be attracted by its uniqueness and messaging features.
