Verizon Wireless has yet another Nokia handset under its stable, this time it will be the clamshell Nokia 2605 Mirage that aims to be the perfect holiday gift for those with an active social calendar. While it isn’t exactly a mobile computer as sleek and powerful as the Nokia N97, it boasts a look that will definitely turn heads, although don’t expect it to double up as your mobile office so that you can work even when you’re on vacation. The Nokia 2605 Mirage is not only small and sleek, you are also able to stand out from the crowd by letting them know your personality via your choice of replaceable Nokia Xpress-on snaps. If only Nokia offers a chance for customers to design their own Xpress-on snaps, that would go a long way in making the 2605 Mirage much more popular, I suspect.

Well, what can you find inside the Nokia 2605 Mirage that will help you make a purchase decision? Guess we’ll just have to take a closer look at the features before going to the missus for her to release the necessary funds to bring this puppy home.
