The Nokia 7510 occupies a special spot in the Supernova line-up, since it’s the only clamshell in the range to date and also the second best offering in it – it’s topped by the 7610, which is the most expensive of the four. Although I don’t think many will face the dilemma of choosing between the 7510 and 7610, because they are so far apart and just happen to coexist within one product line-up.

Another thing of note about the sliding 7610 Supernova is that it’s the only phone in the series that looks to appeal to both men and women. At the end of the day it should see the ratio of 50 to 50 or, say, 60 to 40 in favor of women. Clearly, it’s the most male-tailored device in the range.

However, designing this handset, Nokia went for a witty trick and armed the 7510 with a slew of applications, but cuts its specs a bit. All this clearly defines its target audience as the youth, since these consumers usually demand entertainment, player, radio, browser and a whole lot of other things from their phones. And the 7510 Supernova just happens to have it all in an attractive package with a reasonable price tag.

The 7510 also indicates that S60 continues rolling down to lower price brackets, since feature-rich S40-based handsets are getting cheaper by the minute. Can you actually recall some other instance when the 7000 series phones went for less than 400 USD? With all due confidence I must say that they have never been this cheap from the beginning. While it’s all good for consumers, on the other hand, it denies the company's established nomenclature and brings in some confusion. Remember the Nokia 7070 Prism and its 50 Euro price tag? Times are changing indeed.
