Overshadowed by Palm’s new Pre handset, the Nokia formerly known as the 7510 Supernova made a rather lackluster appearance at CES yesterday. Exclusively headed to T-mobile, the quad-band flip phone definitely isn’t one of Nokia’s finest, but it’s a decent midrange handset.
The 7510 Supernova was originally launched as part of the Supernova line, in early July of last year. The phone included the always fun push-to-open button, 2 megapixel camera, WLAN, and some Xpress-on covers. Fast forward six months later. The new Nokia 7510 includes an always fun push-to-open button, 2 megapixel camera, WLAN, and some Xpress-on covers.
Okay, so it’s not exactly what you’d call a "new" phone, just a release in a different market. And the phone itself isn’t too bad at all: it has support for UMA, which lets you seamlessly transfer from GSM to wi-fi connections and back, a "hidden until lit" front display, expandable memory, and the aforementioned Xpress-on covers. Unfortunately, it’s still a Series 40 phone.
Officially, the Nokia 7510 will be available later this month, at T-mobile retail + online stores. But don’t count on finding any real information on T-mobile’s web site: the phone isn’t listed there, which is - how do I say this - complete garbage.
