Had it 18 months, its been back for repair a number of times, twice for a headphone socket once for not switching on and now the screen is scrambled, the ribbon cable feed is u/s and they want me to pay for the repair! pure JUNK. Also the repair service here takes 1 month, makes any problem many times worse but even so, do yourslf a favour, stay away from new untested Nokia.

I've had mine for about 18 months - 2years now and aren't that pleased with it. After just a few months the interchangeable front piece fell off even though I'd never tried to remove it and for the last year it has intermittent sound problems - firstly the person on the other end couldn't hear me and now I can hardly hear them! I wouldn't recommend it!

don't buy it. I have found that it randomly changed my ringtone, volume button only works when it wants to, switches it self off when it feels like it, silent mode doesn't work, only way to switch it off is to take the battery out, randomly plays music can't turn it off. It is back for repairs for the 2nd time at the moment.

I bought mine in January 2009 and its been back to the 02 shop three times for repair.... and its going back in tomorrow. It keeps switching itself off. It kept changing my ringtone (but not done so since it was last in). The battery life is not good ( I have two spare batteries and a car charger). Taking the back cover off is terrible!! It is only getting easier now because I have to take the back off regularly to change the battery! It sounds tinny. The music starts playing when you don't want it and the latest problems are,... it won't let me access my inbox or outbox. It says 'emergency calls only', 'sim card not registered' and other weird stuff. Yet, switch it off and then back on again, it will work fine for a while then go weird again. Reccommendation!:...Don't buy one!!!

Can not see what is on the screen if it is daylight, because it is mirrored. The battery life is not very good. The screen scratches easily. Difficult to remove the back cover. Camera is good though, and it has a flash. There is a side button that you can press and it will start playing music you have stored on the phone; but this sometimes goes off on its own, such as when you are just holding the phone or if you forget to lock the keys, it will start playing music in your bag.

Absolute rubbish i had 2 of these phones through contract i sent 1st one back due to it freezing i had to keep removing battery to get it to work an getting the battery cover off is a nitemare! I sent it back an was sent another and the same problems happend with the new one. Also the loudspeaker on both had a fault. In end i went for 7310 its much better an reliable. I do not reccomend 7610 supernova phone.

I've got 7610. Initially I was very proud owning such sleek, good looking, feature packed phone. But later as the days went by I started uncovering the problems with it. Pros: * Sleek, sliding, light weight, attractive front panel, 3.2MP camera with auto focus and flash. * TV out (with cable supplied in the box) Cons: * The front panel is mirror finish display which will be attractive in the beginning. But later you will discover that you can hardly see anything on the screen when you are out in the bright day light. * The handset voice clarity is very poor. You can hardly hear the other person's voice when you are in a bit noicy environment (even though the ear piece volume is set to high) * Very complicated mechanism to open the back cover unlike other nokia models. You need to practice a lot (and should grow some of your nails before opening ;-)) * The memory card slot is behind back cover (unlike my earlier noika - 6233 where memory card slot was located at one side of the handset). So you can't remove and put back your memory card as and when you want (considering the complicated task of removing the back cover). * The only way to access the memory card is through data cable which is not supplied in the box. The port on the handset is different from all earlier models and so you can't use any of your old data cables. You need to buy a new one.

I think its an awesome phone- if you turn it on its side and look at it from the back it looks like a proper camera. Have purchased all the supernova range and although the 7310 (in pink,if it matters!) is my favourite phone ever, This certainly comes close second. Gorgeous looking phone, AMAZING! have had it for 3 months now and still love it to peices cameras great too. I really want this website to do a review about the 7310 supernova though... i used to have the hello kitty touch screen nk62 witch i waited ages for, But with all the coolisomo features on this phone This is the best. however, the downside is the size, to some people it might be considerd far to big and clumsy, MANLY phone unless you get it in pink!

I bought this phone a week or so ago and absolutely love it as an entry level phone. If you are used to Nokia you won't have any problems with this phone. Some forums say its plasticky but to be honest it is more robust than the Nokia 6600 now that is plasticky. The only problem though is there is a software glitch and they phone often resets itself to factory settings when you switch it off. So when you switch on again you have lost all your ringtones and profiles. I have just got around this by leaving the phone on 24/7 until the firmware is released. You will not be disappointed with this phone if you are a basic user.

I couldn't wait to purchase the 7610 Supernova. It looked superb and offered the features I required. I purchased mine 2 weeks ago, as soon as it was available. However, I am disappointed in the 'feel' of the phone. It feels light and plasticky. My previous mobile was the Nokia 6300 - now this phone felt like quality! Sadly the 7610 Supernova cannot compare. Even the ring tones sound tinny. That said, I only use my phone to text and make calls, so can't comment on the other benefits this phone provides. But if you're looking for a phone with quality build, don't bother.
