Features Nokia 7510 Supernova

The Nokia 7510 Supernova is one of the first models in the series. It is a mid-level clamshell and is quad-band GSM/EDGE phone. 7510 features QVGA internal and smaller external color displays, 2-megapixel camera, microSD slot, Stereo Bluetooth and FM radio.

The same day T-Mobile announced its new RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 and T-Mobile Shadow, the carrier also rolled out the Nokia 7510. First unveiled just three weeks ago at the 2009 CES the 7510 is a chunky flip phone with a midrange feature set.

The good: The Nokia 7510 has a brilliant display, good call clarity, and a midrange feature set that includes Wi-Fi.

The bad: The Nokia 7510 call volume is rather low and the keypad and navigation controls are slippery. Also, we aren't crazy about the button on the hinge.

The bottom line: The Nokia 7510 is a decent midrange phone that offers Wi-Fi for making calls. It earns points for a unique design, but we wish the call volume were louder.
