Although slightly reminiscent of its predecessors including the 7210, the 7310 Supernova still has a slight wow factor to its appearance.

Feature-wise the handset could be placed between the low-to mid end of the market, flaunting a now industry standard two-megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom, and FM Radio with RDS, this Supernova handset appears to be suitable more for the ladies, who might be more interested in the style of their phones rather than somehting that'll throw the competition out of the water.

The 7310 is part of Nokia's Supernova range, which has been designed to be altered in looks depending on your moods or wardrobe. The Supernova range should easily change with you. Being one of Nokia's first candybar handsets to reintroduce the interchangeable cover since the days of the classic 3210 and friends, the 7310 can change from Steel Blue to Wasabi Green and a firm favourite with the ladies, Candy Pink simply by changing the Xpress-On covers.

Taking inspiration from the likes of the LG Shine, Nokia has hidden the screen of the Nokia 7310 Supernova beneath a mirrored surface. Once the handset is on and not in standby mode, the 240x320 QVGA screen appears as if by magic. This does cause some problems when it's sunny outside as it's hard to see exactly what's on your screen. What is really needed here is a light sensor to adjust the screen brightness as the ligh changes outside. However, if you're in optimum lighting conditions, the screen is bright and vibrant thanks to the 16 million colours.

The camera can be considered as adequate for fun snaps, as this is what the Supernova range is intended to be. Without a flash or autofocus, photos won't be anything special. The same goes for video capturing, great to quickly record funny moments but its not so great for playback or YouTubing.

It's a shame though that Nokia fitted the phone with a 2.5mm headphone jack instead of the universally used 3.5mm. Just like any other Nokia S40 handset, the music player is standard and plays backs a number of files such as MP3, AAC, eAAC and WMA with the added ability to add album art too.

To store all that music on your going to need a micro SD card because there isn't a capacious internal memory on this 7310 Supernova.The slot is once again hidden beneath the Xpress-On Cover next to the sim card. We must add that the actually getting to the battery and sim/memory slots is frustratingly annoying as the case if hard to get off.

With many low to mid-end competitive handsets now coming equipped with 3G, it's a shame that the Nokia 7310 Supernova only features GPRS. To make this blow a little lighter, the Finnish king of telecoms has bundled in Opera Mini and Yahoo Go! With Opera Mini pre-installed, mobile browsing is made less painstaking as the app renders sites for mobile use.

Another application hidden in the collections folder is Nokia's WidSets, first introduced on the Nokia 5310. This application simply allows Nokia 7310 Supernova users to use access customizable widgets from their chosen sites such as Wikipedia, eBay, and BBC News. This is a great app for the latest info and news as it is pushed to your phone rather than you having to look for the sites on the browser.

Its great to see 'old skool' swappable fascias being phased back in with the Nokia 7310 Supernova, but is it to late for feature-hungry consumers? We defiantly rate the 7310 Supernova as a stylish handset for style-conscious people! It's a sleek phone for low/mid end users that don't want to spend much to have a decent phone.
