The cheapest phone in the Nokia Supernova range, the Nokia 7210 Supernova costs around €120 (£100 / $200) before tax and carrier subsidy. For this, you get a 240 x 320 pixel display in 262,000 colours, a 2 megapixel camera, microSD expandable memory, stereo Bluetooth, an F.M. radio, and a multimedia player. It is very similar in specification to the 7310, but the 7210 doesn't have interchangeable covers and the display isn't quite as colourful. There are a few other features where the 7210 doesn't quite measure up, but we suspect that most people will find the devices pretty closely matched.
It's quite a light phone, but somewhat bizarrely Nokia quote the weight as 69.8 grams without the battery. Given that the battery is a pretty useful component, we think that perhaps you will want to carry one around. The BL-4CT cell weighs around 20 grams, bringing the whole handset up to an approximate 90 grams or so.
At 10.6mm thick, the 7210 is slimmer than any other "Supernova" handset, but it also has the shortest talktime at just 3 hours. Overall though, the 7210 is not a bad device and we think that it will sell quite well.
Nokia say that the 7210 should be available during Q3 2008 in "Bubble Gum Pink" and "Vivid Blue" colour schemes.
