Nokia 7310 Supernova Mobile Phone Review

Nokia 7310 Supernova

The Nokia 7310 Supernova is a slim candybar phone that fits comfortably in a pocket. As with very old Nokia models you can completely remove the cover on the 7310 and swap it with other compatible covers. Unfortunately you're limited to a handful of designs compared to the plethora you used to be able to get when the removable covers craze was at its height -- ultimately making it a more boring product.

To give it a little more spice, the 7310's provided cover packs an extremely reflective screen and keypad, the result of which is that until the screen is activated, it looks like a mirror. Handy for a little emergency lippy, but it also means that in bright light, you might find it difficult to see clearly.

Features of Nokia 7310 Supernova

Adding to the sense that this is a blast from the past, the 7310 is pretty thin on features. What you do get, though, is an easy-to-understand menu system that keeps things simple, while offering added functionality such as being able to display shortcuts on the start page.

There's an MP3 player that supports various formats including MP3 and AAC, and the option to store all your music on an external microSD card (up to 4GB). But be warned, the 7310 only has a 2.5mm headphone jack, so you have to use the headphones in the box or buy ones that fit -- standard 3.5mm headphones won't.

There's also an FM radio, Bluetooth and a 2-megapixel camera that's very basic -- no LED photo light or flash. If you're looking for a decent camera phone, steer clear; but if you just want to take the odd picture in well-lit locations for MMS messages, it'll suffice.

To add some extra functionality to the 7310 you can download and use a variety of third-party Java apps, such as Opera Mini, which makes browsing the Web much more enjoyable. Another app worth downloading is Fring; it lets you connect to a variety of IM clients, including MSN and Yahoo.

Performance

Battery life is quoted at 4 hours talk time and 300 hours on standby. Because there aren't that many features on the phone, we found we didn't use it that heavily and got around two days of moderate use out of it. It's worth pointing out that the loudspeaker worked surprisingly well and pumped out a fair amount of sound.

Samsung SGH-A737 - Orange Mobile Phone Review

Samsung SGH-A737 - orange Review :

Design

With an A707, an A717, an A727, and an A737 in its cell phone product line, you might think Samsung was beginning to copy Boeing's method of naming its products. And just as Boeing designed each of its airplanes for a specific market segment, Samsung created each of these handsets with a different user in mind. Though they all offer multimedia features, the A707 and A717 are flip phones, the A727 is a candy bar handset, and the A737 sports the thin slider style mentioned above.

While its basic shape and dimensions (3.74x1.89x0.63 inches; 2.09 ounces) aren't exceptional, the A737 does come in four colors: orange (our review unit), red, blue, and lime. The color accents, which run down the side of each handset, provide a nice contrast to the simple black hue that covers the rest of the phone and they make for a unique look. We also enjoyed that the SGH-A737's solid feel in the hand, its sturdy slider mechanism, and the handy thumb grip for moving the front face up and down.

The A737 follows its predecessors in offering a brilliant display. Measuring two inches and supporting 262,000 colors, it's bright and vibrant with sharp graphics and animations. As with many Samsung displays, it's difficult to see in direct light, but that's not a huge problem. You can change the brightness and the backlight time, as well as the font size, color, and type. The menu system comes in two simple styles and you can activate nifty pop-up menus to save clicks when scrolling.

Features:

The Samsung SGH-A737 features a 1,000-contact phone book with room in each entry for six phone numbers, two e-mail addresses, two URLs, an instant-messaging handle, and notes (the SIM card hold an additional 250 names). You can organize callers into groups or pair them with a photo or any of 10 polyphonic ringtones (can't you give us a few more Samsung?).

Other essentials include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, call timers, an alarm clock, a calendar, a task list, a notepad, a calculator, a unit and currency converter, a world clock, a timer, a stopwatch, and a tip calculator. Beyond the basics, the A737 offers stereo Bluetooth, USB mass storage, a speakerphone, instant messaging (AOL, Windows Live, and Yahoo), and e-mail.

As a 3G UMTS phone, the A737 supports the full range of AT&T broadband multimedia applications. Cellular Video brings a wide variety of streaming video clips from such channels as NBC, Comedy Central, ESPN, The Weather Channel, VH1, and CNN.

There's a special channel for kids as well, with programming from The Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, The Cartoon Network, and Muppets Mobile. Premium entertainment is offered from HBO Mobile and Music Choice for an extra charge.
