Performance
The Li-Ion 860 mAh BL-4CT battery backup doesn’t work too well. Although the battery backup claimed by the company is of 5 hours and 40 minutes but users report its battery backup to be around just 3.5-4 hours which is problematic. Nokia 7210 Supernova needs to be recharged a minimum of once every 24 hours to a maximum of twice every 24 hours.
The keypad has all the keys fall at the same level which is great when it comes to the looks and design but for users with a lot of SMS or internet usage the keypad becomes too uncomfortable to be handled.
The phone works smoothly with 1 GB memory card installed in it. With a 2 GB memory card the handset starts to hang sometimes. The picture quality and the sound are excellent and the sleek model fits in easily in the pocket or your purse.

The Nokia 7210 Supernova phone is great for people with a tight budget as it is among the few such phones offering so many multimedia features.
