Verizon Nokia 7705, rotating slider

Verizon announced the Nokia 7705 and it comes with a pretty interesting form factor. The cube like phone has a rotating cover which unveils full QWERTY keyboard. Now Verizon didn’t explicitly say it was for the young crowd, but we’ll take a wild guess at this one.

There’s 3 megapixel camera on board, with EVDO Rev A. and a 2.5mm headphone jack. The phone is on sale this Sunday, for $99 after a $50 mail-in rebate on a 2-year contract. Don’t expect to see any of these soon in Asia readers.
