Whew !!!! I am astounded by my “CockTail Poll” showing overwhelming wish for a “mobilephone” this festive season of Diwali !! So Gals who are looking for a stylish phone and Guys who are thinking of gifting their mother, sister ….(Oops) & Girl friends …..without breaking their bank account can look at the Candybar styled Nokia 7310 SuperNova.
To start off the 7310 is the cheapset of the SuperNova series so far and to put it mildly is a Nokia 6300 in disguise. To briefly put it,
- The phone came with a Blue Cover but to change the look there is a “Pink Express-on” cover.
- It also has a TV out cable which the 6300 didn’t have in the box, but there was no USB cable or Micro SD Card inside (might be to save the cost)
- Measuring 106.5 x 45.4 x 12 mm and weighing 85grams it was easy to hold and operate. The keypad with its glossy stainless steel finish was quite easy to type but keeping it clean will be quite a task.
- The 2″ 240 x 320 , 16 million color TFT screen was pleasant to look at
- The phone runs on Nokia’s Series40 5th Edition, so the interface is easy to operate with.
- The 2 megapixel is ok and there is a video recording option too
- Music quality is quite good and there is a FM radio too. But the headphone is 2.5mm jack so you can’t plug in your high quality headphones directly.
- Connectivity is also well looked after with GPRS,EDGE,USB,Bluetooth with A2DP
At 7,700/- bucks (155$) is a no non-sense phone with quite good value for money. Those who think they can stretch their budgets little bit farther can conside the 7610 supernova _ a slider phone.
