Review of GSM-handset Nokia 7210 Supernova

Mobile-review have posted their review of the Nokia 7210 Supernova. Here is their final impression.

The 7210 Supernova isn�t a particularly loud phone, but it doesn�t differ from the Nokia 5310 on this front in any significant way - in many situations you will find its alert volume insufficient, which is our main gripe with this phone. In terms of reception quality it does just fine; the vibro alert is average strength-wise, but it won�t let you down.

The Nokia 5310 entered the market last October at the price point of 180 Euro. September 2008 will see the Nokia 7210 with a price tag of 120 Euro, while the 5310�s price will float down to the level of 140 Euro by then. While their designs are different, all things considered, the Nokia 7210 Supernova is a replica of the Nokia 5310. The only difference is that the newcomer is somewhat sluggish and doesn�t load applications as fast as the 5310. Although our Java performance tests don�t indicate any major shift on this front, a bit of sluggishness is definitely there. It seems that Nokia has decided to cut costs a little and halved the 7210 Supernova�s RAM size. On the other hand, it�s still quite passable � perhaps not blazing fast at times, but nothing you won�t be able to put up with.

Consumers seem to love Nokia�s affordable phones, and the 7210 Supernova won�t be an exception for sure. However its list of rivals is pretty massive � there is an horde of other relatively cheap solutions that have rolled down to this price bracket at the end of their life cycles. In other words, there are a lot of phones to choose from apart from the 7210 Supernova.
