The Nokia Intrigue 7205's unique external display blends into its smooth black exterior.

When the Habitat mode is activated, contacts are presented in chronological order, providing an engaging and intuitive way for customers to track, visualize and connect with their contacts. You can also customize each contact with a photo or icon.
