One thing that really confuses me is Nokia’s recent habit of re-launching handsets with the same model numbers as some past ones. Take the examples of the 6600 Classic & 6600 slide, though they have nothing in common with the original 6600 Penguin-phone. Similarly, the 7210 was a "fashion phone" of the 2004 era with a very jumbled up keypad and uncomfortably funky looks. Thankfully, the 7210 Supernova has a "normal" keypad, though it’s still difficult to type on it. And no, god didn’t answer your prayers about getting some decent color sense into the heads of Nokia designers.
That apart, I didn’t have much of an issue with the 7210 Supernova as far as usage was concerned. It’s amazingly slim and lightweight, and that’s what I love about it. The display is amazingly crisp and sharp, with 320x240 pixels consolidated into a 2-inch display unit. Everything else is standard Nokia - these features have remained more-or-less the same throughout most of Nokia’s mid-range handsets. There is a 2mp snapper at the back that doesn’t really impress, but does its work in the daytime.
Overall, it does a very great job of being a companion-phone - Something that’s keeps ticking reliably inside your pocket while your magnificent new smartphone sits proudly on the desk.
