Review: Nokia 7705 Twist
Calls
When not using Habitat, calls with the Twist are really no different from that of any other Verizon Wireless phone. With the phone open, hitting the send key brings up your recent calls list. Using the D-pad, you have a few limited options.
Only with the phone open do you have full access to a list of options. When in calls, you have complete access to your messaging, contacts, and notes applications, which is always useful if you need to look up information during a call. With the phone closed, you can't make phone calls at all, which is kind of weird, especially since you can access all the details about missed calls from Habitat. What's also weird is that even with the phone open, you have to unlock the capacitive touch buttons to interact with all the options. The extra steps make it rather clunky.
Contacts
The contacts application always places your "In Case of Emergency" contact at the top of the list. This is a thoughtful touch, and lets you - or someone who finds you in need of help - find the most important person in your life and contact them quickly.
With the contact app open, the default is a search mode. Start typing a name, and the app auto-sorts through your contact database to find the appropriate person. Each contact stores at least 4 phone numbers, two email addresses, plus fax numbers. With a contact open, initiating a text message or call is a simple tap of a button away.
