You could call the Supernova 7100 a fashion phone, but that would be a disservice to the slew of recent phones that look as good as they play. Don’t get us wrong – as you would expect from a Nokia, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the handset’s software or hardware, it’s just there’s nothing standout, either.
Well, except for those snap-on interchangeable back covers in funky, party-time colours.
Ours was a very trendy metallic pink that latched onto a sleek and shiny black chassis, which is unfortunately rather smudge friendly.
For a Nokia, the Supernova 7100 is pretty minimalist. Its black face is decorated with only a D-pad and a pink (in our case) strip, whose four buttons are actually raised silver lines. It’s all quite high-design, though the display is really tiny considering the size of the phone; there’s a wider space than necessary on all sides of the screen. Form over function, and function takes a hit.
