Today Verizon Wireless announced the addition of the Nokia 7205 Intrigue to its roster of flip phones. The 7205 has a hidden external display that lets users interact with many of the phone's systems when it is closed, including the ability to play music, view messages and interact with the alarm clock. It has EVDO, stereo Bluetooth, support for 8GB microSD cards, a 2 megapixel camera with flash, and visual voicemail (for extra charge of $3/mo). The 7205 comes with a low-power charger to waste less electricity and is packaged in recycled materials. It costs $130 with new contract after rebates.

not bad.
I would have to see it in person to see what I think about that front screen. it says you can do all kinds of stuff from the front but it doesnt look that advanced to me.

nice phone, the front is kinda like the 7510, i wonder how good the web browsing is on it
a Nokia phone i can be proud of for Verizon. now if they can just keep it up. i might actually keep Verizon after my contract is up.

2.5mm Headset Jack
2.5mm Headset Jack WHY Nokia WHY? 😢

On a music-centric device, 3.5mm makes more sense, but on a phone-centric device, 2.5mm makes more sense.
did you notice how thin this phone is, that is the main reason the "manufacture" will put a 2.5 vs 3.5 to save space.
series 40?
is this a series 40 os?
Can we answer phone while the flip is closed?
I am interested in this phone. I would like to know if we can activate the speakerphone to answer a call while the flip is closed. Currently, I have the Samsung sch-a930 and it can do so. Thank you.
I can't answer that question, but I'd like to know as well. I also have an sch-930a and one of the things I like about it is the outer display is an OLED and stays on all of the time. It's great for checking signal strength, battery charge and the tim...

i can initiate voice-dialing with the phone closed, but i get a message saying i have to open the phone to continue with the call. and i can't answer a call without opening. i imagine these two phones are very similar in how some of these things work....

Just Got It!
Just pick up the 7205 from Verizon today, it is an awsome phone, ringtones are loud, vibrate is ok (similar to the LG's) front screen is actully a touchscreen i think, when i get a text msg i gives me options to read it, it seems pretty responsive.
