What do you want out of a night-out-on-the-town phone? Decent styling? Check. Shiny, show-off detail? Check. Lightweight? Check. So far, so good. But the 7310 Supernova has another trick up its sleeve. Say you’re wearing dark blue tonight (strong, cool...

If your phone is too valuable, too sombre or too tatty to take out with you in the evening but you can’t keep swapping handsets, why not swap the cover and give it a new lease of life? The return of the Xpress-On cover is welcomed, although we&rsquo...

Nokias 7310 Supernova sounds more like a TV show than a new mobile phone. Featuring exchangeable Xpress-on covers, a 2-megapixel camera and a mirror-style finish on the keypad and display, the 7310 aims to add some spice to the entry-level end of the mobile phone market. The 7310 Supernova looks largely unremarkable. This candy bar handset features curved corners and a lightweight design. Nokias attempt to add some bling to the phone is a hit and miss affair — the mirror-style finish adorning...

The 7310 Supernova is largely an unremarkable handset, though the inclusion of some handy multimedia features and an easy-to-use interface should still appeal to some. At this price, it hardly seems good value...

Supernova sounds like such an upbeat name for a mobile phone, that what is actually on offer here is doubly disappointing, firstly because it is pretty average and secondly because the name led us to expect so much more. Average features all round cou...

The 7310 Supernova is one of a trio of blast-from-the-past cover-swapping mobiles aimed at cash-strapped phone users. It angles for a bit of low-cost style using a mirrored screen and chrome numberpad. Available in "steel blue" or white, it’s boxed wi...

Swapping phone covers may be a bit old-school, but Nokia is banking on a new wave of young phone buyers getting into Xpress-On swappable covers to personalise their handsets. Under the covers, though, the Nokia 7310 Supernova is an unexceptional phone...

Not so long ago, when mobiles were simpler devices, swappable covers were the way to customise your phone, and Nokias range of Xpress-On cover handsets dominated the trend for face-change, show-your-personality mobiles. Now Nokia is attempting to revi...

There are many giveaway signs that a handset considers itself to be a ‘fashion phone’. Some are so thin, you could use them to carve the Sunday roast. Others plate themselves in gold and carry a four figure price tag. And then there are those...
