Nokia 7205 Intrigue Looks Like an Actually Decent Flip Phone

Flip phones have been dead to me since I left Japan, so Nokia's 7205 Intrigue for Verizon is the first one that's actually made me look twice.

The external display is a blank slate until it lights up with incoming text messages or play music (not entirely unique, but still classy) I also like the ginormous d-pad—either a traditional cross, or a pink flower-petal style for girlies. It's also got visual voicemail, and something called Habitat mode that rearranges your contacts in a weird way.

Green points are the low-power charger and reminder to pull your phone out of the wall when it's fully charged, and it's in a fully recycled container. It's a bit pricey though, at $180 with 2-year contract before the $50 mail-in rebate drops it down to $130.
