Nokia 2705 Shade: Verizon’s smallest device to date

Take note Verizon (NYSE: VZ) customers, if you’re looking for a small device, the new Nokia (NYSE: NOK) 2705 is the smallest device now offered on your operator’s network. Verizon isn’t releasing too many specifications, actually any specifications. Wish I could tell you the exact dimensions of the Shade, size of the battery, or anything really geeky, but all I got is the camera: 1.3 megapixels. Bleeding edge by North American standards. The device will be available online from verizonwireless.com starting October 6th for $30 on a 2 year contract. By default, the Shade comes in black, but you’re going to be able to buy XpressOn covers in blue, red and purple for $20, also from Verizon’s site. It’s actually quite handsome, hope it comes out in a GSM flavor over the pond here in Europe. Full press release here, and one more photo after the jump.
