Nokia 7610 Supernova is one of the latest introductions by the company and in fact it holds the flagship of series called Supernova. On the first look, Nokia 7610 Supernova would appear to be a slider phone fashionable enough for the present generation. However, it won’t be wrong in saying that the handset has got its design keeping in mind women folks and girls as its target audience. However, it does not make it a women perfume that cannot be checked by men.

Although, Nokia 7610 Supernova is not a high end phone by Nokia, yet you would find some good features clubbed with a beautiful casing. It is indeed not a smart phone and hence it would be a waste of time to expect features like Wi-Fi or GPS navigation feature. But yes one can easily look forward to a very decent and sound operating system, Symbian S60 OS.

It offers an amazing display which a high point in the handset. The clarity of images seen on the screen is crystal clear. What adds on to the beauty of the handset is its glossy design. It is very difficult to get away from the magical impact of the phone for long. Seems Nokia has got its way into the minds and hearts of the people. Good quality of sound is another added advantage that the user enjoys in the mobile phone.

What’s bad about the Nokia 7610 Supernova

It is not meant for the high end users and hence does not offer your WiFi technology or GPRS. But one can’t expect such high end features from Nokia 7610 Supernova. Thus, if you are looking forward to something like these, Nokia 7610 Supernova is not meant for you.

Other than that, the major and basic problem that lies with the mobile phone are its batteries. The battery cannot stand for long. In other words, the battery life is too low in Nokia 7610 Supernova and if you are using applications like camera or listening to music you would have to keep charging your mobile phone.

Also, with well suited USB cable connection, it would have been much better to transfer data.

If in this domain they would have taken action, Nokia 7610 Supernova would have been even a better handset.

Nokia 7610 Supernova Review

Nokia 7610 design

Nokia 7610 Supernova is a beautiful looking slider phone. The beauty of the handset lies in its front case which gives the user a fascinating metallic feeling. It has also a trim that is made up of plastic and the two together look awesome. One can find a 3.2 megapixel camera at the rear of Nokia 7610 Supernova. Lower to the camera, one can easily locate a loudspeaker that possesses an excellent sound quality.

The connector to the charger is housed at the upper side of the phone and there itself, one can locate a headset jack of 2.5mm along with the power button. On the right hand side of the mobile phone, it is very easy to find volume control. A camera key and the music player key also are located in the same area. However, towards the left hand side, under the plastic cover lies hidden the micro USB connector.

An alphanumeric keypad is there to make the usage of Nokia 7610 Supernova easier. Definitely, the keys of the keypad are not the largest you will find in any of the mobile phones but yes comfortable enough.

Display and interface

Nokia 7610 Supernova is quite good as far as the QVGA display of the mobile phone is concerned. However, it is not as good as it could be if you take it out in the sun light. Unfortunately, with a phone that offers as many as 16 million colour display to the user and provides excellent kind of display indoors, it is indeed not expected.

The screen measures 2 inches and is kind of small for the kind of applications the phone provides. Nokia would have definitely done better than this.

Interface is a plus point in Nokia 7610 Supernova. We have earlier also discussed how S40 user interface makes it such a brilliant handset. The fact about its user friendly nature and simplicity makes it one of the best in the entire mobile market. Moreover, the user interface is not only about being user friendly but also offers smoothness in operations. It is much more fast than the rest and makes the user feel comfortable.

Connectivity, call quality
Nokia 7610 Supernova does not support 3G technology and thus, one cannot expect a high speed of data transfer from the mobile phone. The mobile phone features only GPRS and EDGE technology and works upon the GSM quad band network to offer good connectivity all over the world.

As far as the quality of call is concerned, it is quite good.

Also, Nokia 7610 Supernova features Bluetooth connectivity option and the A2DP feature for wireless transfer of data.

Camera and Video recording
With a camera of 3.2 megapixels, one can click some good snaps on their phone. 2048 x 1536 pixels resolution can be obtained on Nokia 7610 Supernova which even is blessed with other exciting features as auto focus and LED flash. Although the camera takes some really good snaps, but in today’s world of technologically strong and power puffed handsets, a 3.2 megapixel camera is somewhat a lower version. We can expect more from a company like Nokia for sure.

But still the camera delivers some really good stills with the aid of LED flash both outside as well as inside the house. Another advantage with the camera of Nokia 7610 Supernova is that it is very simple and easy to operate. It has a user friendly interface and the moment you switch it on, you can select your mode between portrait and landscape. Photo editing features are also enabled in Nokia 7610 Supernova like cropping the photo, adding frames etc.

Nokia 7610 Supernova also shoots videos and we can say that the quality of image is decent. It is definitely not one of the best nor is it too bad. Mediocre is the right word to define video footages shot by Nokia 7610 Supernova at a resolution of 15fps.

The biggest advantage or high point or attraction about Nokia 7610 Supernova is the feature of Colourise Theme. It enables the user to make their themes which something new in the mobile industry. You would not have seen such a thing happening earlier with any other mobile and for some users; it is really a big fascination.

However, it has a disadvantage as well. It takes on too much of memory space which is not a very positive point about the feature.

Music and videos on Nokia 7610 Supernova
Like any other mobile phone, even Nokia 7610 Supernova has an extraordinary music player with an amazing sound quality. There is a loudspeaker on the rear of the mobile phone that offers decent sound. It is comfortable to ears and only if the volume if full, you would find it noisy.

The music player also supports FM radio which comes with RDS support already integrated in the handset. This enables the user to enjoy music anywhere and at any time. With the aid of RDS features, the frequencies get connected to the mobile phone really soon and you can enjoy your favourite channel even while travelling.

Nokia 7610 Supernova also is preinstalled with a head set jack of 2.5mm. There are headsets already included with the mobile phone that fits in smoothly.

One has various functions in the music player that includes equalizer, themes, stereo widening features etc. It is really fun to listen to music on Nokia 7610 Supernova which possesses stereo phonic effects.

MP3, MPEG4, AAC and MPEG4 formats can be easily supported in Nokia 7610 Supernova to play videos. Hence if you love your videos, you can play them on a high resolution screen of the mobile phone and have one of the best experiences ever.

Web, email, games, others
Nokia 7610 Supernova offers amazing web browsing experience. It has preinstalled option of Yahoo! Go, which enables the user to browse the web and do whatever they feel like. E.g., one can download maps or see the news etc. other than the very feature, there is an additional application of Opera Mini already installed in the handset. But the speed of browsing is not very good owing to the presence of only EDGE technology. Nokia 7610 Supernova is also accessible to IMAP4 and POP3. All you need to do is to set up your account.

Other than the above mentioned features, Nokia 7610 Supernova has to do list, Widsets, currency converter and unit converter. Similarly, some of the very interesting games can be played on Nokia 7610 Supernova which includes 3D, Snake, Sudoku, Bounce and Sea Sweeper.

Data transfer
Here we believe Nokia 7610 Supernova has a short coming. It does not have USB cabled connection for data transfer. However, to transfer files one can use the Bluetooth feature and get going. Additionally, one can use the microSD card slot to transfer data. While the Bluetooth enables the user to transfer picture files, music files and videos form the mobile to other Bluetooth compatible devices like the PC, laptop or other mobile phones, the same transfer through microSD card becomes fast and much more sequential that Bluetooth in any case.

Nokia 7610 Supernova battery life
If your usage is not too heavy of the handset, the battery life is not at all a problem with Nokia 7610 Supernova. As it is the performance of the batteries is really good. You can play songs; use the digital camera ad for two and a half days the handset does not require charging at all. However, the problem lies after that. However, if you take some precautions for energy saving, you will find the battery working even better. These precautions include decreasing the intensity of backlight, when phone is not in use, activating the sleep mode and deactivating Bluetooth as soon as the transfer gets finished. These few points will help you bettering the life of your phone’s battery.
