Nokia 7100 Supernova
Discontinued 4th November 2008
Longtime Mobile Gazette readers
may know that we tend to like low-cost phones that offer
great value for money. But while the €75 / £60
Nokia 7100 Supernova slider phone isn't expensive,
it really doesn't seem to offer much for your cash.
First, the basics. This is a dual-band
GSM phone with a 1.3 megapixel camera, an FM radio,
240 x 320 pixel display, Bluetooth, an email client
and web browser.. and that's really it. There's no expandable
memory or MP3 player, and the phone really doesn't compete
very well with the slightly more expensive Nokia
5130 XpressMusic.
It isn't a particularly good looking
phone either. Previous "Supernova" handsets
have been very stylish, but the 7100 simply doesn't
compare with the attractive 7610
Supernova. At 104 grams, it is quite heavy and the
maximum talktime is just 3.5 hours.. which is pretty
short.
In all honesty, it's a pretty good value
phone, but Nokia have several handsets that offer significantly
better value for money than this. Nokia say that the
7100 Supernova should be available before the end of
the year in red, blue and black colour combinations.
