Nokia Supernova Series launched

Nokia today announced the Supernova Series which is a Fashion/Style series. The handsets announced were the 7610 Supernova, &510 Supernova, 7310 Supernova and 7210 Supernova.

7210 Supernova

This is the cheapest and the cheapest of the line-up. It’s a thinner version of the 7310 and is only 10mm thick.It features a 256 color two inch QVGA display, 2 MP camera, FM-Radio with RDS, micro-USB, Bluetooth, A2DP. It has an internal memory of 30 MB which is expandable upto 2 GB.

Nokia 7210 Supernova will be available in Bubble Gum Pink and Vivid Blue from Q3 2008. Its estimated retail price is 120 euro before taxes or subsides.

7310 Supernova

As far as the specifications are concerned the bar-shaped Nokia 7310 Supernova is a lower mid-end phone all over. It has a 2-inch display of QVGA resolution and a 2 megapixel snapper. XpreesOn covers are also available to diversify the looks of the phone. It also comes with a 2.5 standard audio jack, a microUSB slot and stereo Bluetooth (A2DP). GPRS and EDGE are supposed to take care of the network data transfers.The tri-band Nokia 7310 Supernova will have 32MB of internal memory which will be extendable thanks to the built-in microSD card slot.

Since the 7310 Supernova is already available we can tell you the exact retail price - some 155 euro will easily get you one. The three different color versions are named: Steel Blue, Candy Pink and Wasabi Green.

7510 Supernova

Next in line is the only clamshell in the series - the Nokia 7510 Supernova. It is equipped with two displays - a 2.2-inch 16M color internal one of QVGA resolution and an external one with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels. It also sports a 2 megapixel snapper (no autofocus here), FM radio, microUSB slot and stereo Bluetooth (A2DP). The internal memory will be up to 25MB and will be further expandable up to 8GB via the microSD card slot.

A nice thing about the Nokia 7510 Supernova is the automatic opening mechanism - you can open it with a simple push of a button. It’s not a new feature (Nokia 6131 already had that), but definitely deserves credit.

There will be four color versions of the Nokia 7510 Supernova available - Storm Blue, Fatal Red, Emerald Green and Espresso Brown. The clamshell will become available in Q4 and has an estimated retail price of 180 euro before taxes or subsides.

7610 Supernova

The flagship of the series is Nokia 7610 Supernova. It comes with a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with dual LED flash and a 16M color QVGA screen. The stylish slider will rely on EDGE and GPRS for its data transfers as there is no 3G support available on-board.

A really cool feature of the Nokia 7610 Supernova allows the keypad illumination color and the theme to be changed automatically depending on the current environment. It will also feature the old-but-obviously-not-forgotten XpressOn covers. Those allow easy changing of the color of the phone by simply changing its cover. The final extras include stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), microUSB slot and 30MB of internal memory (expandable through the microSD card slot) as well as FM radio with RDS.

The quad-band Nokia 7610 Supernova will hit the shelves somewhere in the third quarter of this year at an estimated retail price of 225 euro before taxes or subsides. It will be available in two color versions - Pristine White (with Bright Lilac and Steel Blue XpressOn covers) and Muted gray (with Steel Blue and Red covers).

Nokia 3120 Classic review

Our friends at GSMArena have published a review on the Nokia 3120 Classic.

“Even if every little Nokia wants to be an N95 when it grows up, most of them end up a decent looking gadget with a neat little perk here and there to top the good old calling and texting. Nokia 3120 classic is just another one of them mixed by the time-tested recipe - do the bare minimum but do it right.”

PSP Phone Concept

Here is another PSP phone concept. But this time its a Sony PSP phone and not a Sony Ericsson PSP phone. Ths is because of the rumours of a split-up between Somy and Ericsson. The concept looks amazing.

Sony to split from Ericsson for PSP phone

The PlayStation-branded-mobile-phone-in-production rumour is an oldie and a goodie in the tech world, having been floating round cyberspace for what seems like years, but new, juicy info has apparently come to light on the topic.

Yet again, it’s said that a PSP phone is being readied for launch, but what’s interesting this time round is that Sony is said to be considering going it alone for the new device - ditching the Ericsson partnership for the phone.

Marketing Week reports that sources in Japan and Korea say Sony is working on “converting” the current PSP model into a phone, and that it could hit the shelves in time for Christmas 2009.

The current PSP can be used as a VoIP phone via its Wi-Fi connectivity but does not currently contain the technology to use cellular networks. This report makes it sound like the new device would be a PSP with full mobile connectivity, rather than a branded handset, like the just-launched F305.

Another industry source is quoted as saying the relationship between Sony and Sony Ericsson has become “frosty,” that Sony has learned from its “strategic error” of giving its Walkman name to Sony Ericsson and that Sony would “never” give its PlayStation branding to the Sony Ericsson joint venture.
