Nokia 7705 Twist Announced Officially by Verizon

Verizon has just expanded its handset portofolio by announcing Nokia 7705 Twist, the handset you can check out in the image below. This messaging phone comes with a very interesting form factor, since it’s basically a square.

In spite of the strange design, the device manages to pack a full QWERTY keypad, that will probably hit a soft point in the hearts of tweens. Nokia 7705 Twist will be made available online this Sunday, September 13th for $99 (after a $50 mail in rebate) and with a 2 year contract.

The handset supports Xpress-on Covers and comes with a 3 megapixel camera with support for video recording, flash, autofocus, white balance, shutter sound and photo editing. There’s also a blogging feature on board, plus support for social networking, Mobile Email, a built-in mirror, a 2.4 inch TFT QVGA screen and a 2.5mm audio jack.
