Positioning

Apparently Nokia is marching towards the low-end of the market as every new collection it has churned out so far comes with a couple of budget solutions. The only exception in this sense is the 8000 series, which has retained its original focus. On the other hand, the manufacturer’s latest and greatest affordable line-up, the Supernova, starts with the Nokia 7210 – a 120 Euro phone with a very unsophisticated sales package and focus on women (although one of its trims will fit men too).

Looking to create an inexpensive phone that could rival a slew of other offerings out there, Nokia turned to its 5310 (actually the same applies to the Nokia 7310 Supernova as well) and copied all features and abilities of the latter (including the music department), bar dedicated music controls.

By and large the 7210 Supernova is an affordable solution for those who is in for market for their first phones (students), or young girls (who need no bells and whistles in their handsets) and some men too (they’ll make up to 20 percent of all sales) who couldn’t resist the 7210’s design. That said, the 7210 Supernova should become one of the market’s most popular offerings and its price will be one of the contributing factors.

Since it lacks exchangeable covers, the 7210 seems to be a tad less appealing than the Nokia 7310 Supernova, but not in terms functionality, obviously.

Design, size, controls

The 7210 Supernova comes in bubble gum pink and vivid blue. The former trim is aimed at women; make no mistake about that – who else these pink inserts are supposed to appeal to otherwise? They are made of rubber and sometimes seem like a bunch of keys, but in fact all buttons are housed right next to then. The second color scheme is not so gaudy and is more of a versatile solution.

The handset measures up at 106x45x10.6 mm and tips our scales at 69.8 grams, which makes it a very svelte, pocket-friendly and lightweight device.
