Nokia 2705 (Shade Verizon)

 Most of the latest Nokia mobile phone for the U.S. market is not something pleasing. Nokia 2705 is a part of it. Slim design that does not attract attention, and set of features based on basic communication. It has an ability to satisfy, but Shade felt a little too fragile in our hands. 

Design
For a simple mobile phone, you can take into account about Nokia to add a little style design. The trim Shade is no exception from this rule - if already open, it forms a neat curve without a prominent part. This is Nokia trend we see on Verizon's LG 2605 Mirage. You may find that the curve is not fully in accordance with the form of your head, but we think that it is giving this phone a unique design aesthetic. Shade colored black with slim cut, but you can change it with different skin colors of blue, red, and green.

At 3.32 inches 1.70 inches 0.64 inches and 2.6 ounces, Shade is very small and light. Although it is clear a mobile and also slim, it almost feels like a toy in your hand. Not a problem if you use it carefully, but we do not believe this will withstand rough treatment.

Framework of full-color external display (262,144 colors, 160x128 pixels). In addition to displays and supports photo caller ID, it functions as a window Aim for self-portrait. Camera lens sits just above, in addition to a small speaker - it does not have the flash on the camera. External features include a volume rocker on the left spine and a voice call control on the right spine. Also on the right spine is a micro-USB port, which accommodate the USB cable, and a 2.5mm headset jack.

Internal screen size is 2 inches and supports 262,144 colors (220x176 pixels). This is not the greatest display ever we have see, but it corresponds to this type of phone. Bright colors and graphics and photos is relatively clear. Shade menu still shows some aspects of Verizon's standard menu interface, but it is better. You can change the time and light background color and font size.

Shade's navigation array is the most extensive and easy to use. There are four way toggle with central OK button, two soft buttons, speakerphone button, and a rana camera. Key flush, but we can navigate accurately. A double shift as a shortcut to four user-defined shortcuts. Buttons leave us divided, however. Despite their size, they squeeze and feel like plastic. We can make calls and texts without much problem, but a call can feel difficult, and we'll worry about long-term use for those who like texting. On the other hand, there is Backlit buttons to call in the darkness.

Features
Shade has 1000 phone book for contact with the space in each entry for four phone numbers and two e-mail address. You can set caller to groups and can pair them with photos and one of 12 polyphonic ringtones.

You'll also find Bluetooth, though limited profile. There is no stereo Bluetooth, and push the object is only available for a particular file.
