The Nokia 7610 Supernova sports a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and dual LED flash, capable of capturing VGA resolution video clips at up to 15 frames per second. As well as having an FM radio and multimedia player, the 7610 comes with a 2.5mm AV connector and TV output capability, so it is quite a capable media phone.

The display is a 2″ 240 x 320 pixel panel in 16 million colours, which is perhaps a little smaller than we would like to see. Talktime is pretty decent at up to 5.4 hours with a maximum of 12 days standby time. Overall, the Nokia 7610 Supernova measures 98 x 48 x 15mm and weighs 99 grams which is pretty typical for this type of device.

It’s not a cheap phone, costing €225 (around £180 / $360) before tax and subsidy. That puts it roughly in the same price range as the Nokia N81 and Nokia N77 which are both 3G devices but don’t have the same quality of camera as the 7610.

The new model, called the Nokia 7610 SuperNova, will come in a shiny slider form factor, with much more powerful features than the old 7610. It ditches the smartphone-y S60 UI for Nokia’s swifty S40, which kind of makes it work like a phone, first and foremost, and second as a multimedia machine.
