Nokia 7250i

well overall i think that the nokia 7250i is great but apart from the bad points i listed its a great phone and i have been using it ever since my samsung sgh-c300 charger broke down but now a days this phone is a but of my friends jokes but the kool car case i put on my friends thinks its looks kool. it is even better than most of the 2007-2008 model phones, all the phones with all the features of the nokia 7250i is atleast $100 or more and i don't want to spend a $100 on a phone which battery lasts only for a day or two.

I have had the Nokia 7250i for a year and cannot believe that it is the same model reviewed by others. The display is terrible and difficult to read in all conditions. The camera is totally useless as the resolution is dreadful. The menus are difficult to use and follow no logical process. The only good point is standby battery life.

I had a Nokia 7250i a couple years back and I don't regret buyin' it but it got old quick. It would take a lot of time to get used to aswell.

I've had my Nokia 7250i phone for little over 10 months, and I've discovered all its hidden secrets, good and bad!

Photo ID etc is very handy, so I know when my sister is calling me! I did like it, however I think it needs a lot of new updates before it was realised.

A good phone, good for 10-16 year olds!

The Nokia 7250i is an upgrade made by Nokia from the Nokia 7250 mobile phone. With the Nokia 7250i many new features have been added, however the main new feature of this mobile phone is the inclusion of the 'Night Mode' and 'Self-Timer' mode on the camera.

The Nokia 7250i is made by the company 'Nokia' and uses the same principles and styles as the other Nokia mobile phones. I feel that this phone is good value for money, as Nokia has kept some 'original' features such as the 'address book', however has updated it to include features such as 'Caller Groups'. The message system on this phone is very much the same. The 'predict-a-text' is still on this phone and all of the other same features on other Nokia mobile phones. With the 7250i, multimedia messages can be sent - this means that you can send the photos and pictures that you take with the camera to other mobile phone users that have the multimedia message system enabled on their own SIM card/mobile phone.

I particularly like the 'Gallery' feature on this phone. The Nokia 7250i contains many different folders filled with clip-art, pictures and even the familiar 'Nokia Ringtone'. This phone is a bundle of joy and enables you to edit your photos which you have taken with the camera to add frames, borders and even clip-art to make those people that you do/don't like to have funny features such as glasses, beards, party hats and even cat faces! Nokia has really gone one better with this phone and added humorous clip-art for you to use at your own peril!

The 7250i has a radio which is very good for a 'phone-radio'. The reception is not that bad for a phone, however I do feel that sometimes the reception can get 'fuzzy'. The radio is used with the special 'Nokia Headphones' that come with the phone (however if you get your phone from a second-hand shop like me - I presume that you will have to buy the headphones separate like I did! Grrr !) The radio on this phone works like a normal radio - you can search through the stations using your key-pad buttons, while you can even save your favorite stations in your 'My Favorites' folder. Overall, the radio on this phone is a very good 'side-addition' to have!

The buttons on this phone are very unique. You have the normal green and red 'call' buttons on this mobile, however the new addition to this phone would have to be the 'menu' buttons. This phone comes with a very unique button system. There are four buttons (up, down, left-up and right-up) which can be used to enable a more 'hands-on' approach when creating text-messages etc: opposed to just using the 'up' and 'down' buttons. You might need a little practice using these buttons as they are a tad difficult to use at first - but like any new phone after a while you get familiar with it! Furthermore, the buttons to dial numbers/create text messages are in three rows of four columns. The buttons are quite spaced out (yes - even on this little phone!) and are very unique opposed to the buttons on any other Nokia phone. All in all you should buy this phone and try the button system out for yourself.

This phone has great connectivity, even though it does not have 'Bluetooth' this phone does have 'Infrared' and 'GPRS' options. A very worth-while option if someone you know has an Infrared option on their mobile phone!

The camera on this phone is situated on the back and is very small. This does not mean to say that the pictures are small as there are many different options to change the size of your picture ranging from 'Portrait' mode to 'Standard' mode. The camera is very special and has been updated to be more productive. You can now even take photos at night-time by using the 'Night-Mode' - a huge update from the 7250 model. I feel that the camera is a good addition to this phone, solemnly on the price of this phone; however the main downfall of the camera is that there is no 'Zoom' option when taking the actual photo. You can only zoom in on the photo after you have taken it! (Silly - huh?!?)

All in all this phone has got what you need - a camera, a colour screen, Infrared and GRPS connectivity, photos, clip-art, ringtones and much more! A definite bargain is this phone!

Nokia 7250i - This is not just a good little phone, it is an excellent, well designed, lightweight phone. It has all the latest features like a camera and good ringtones and boasts one of the best looking Nokias. Buy it now!

I have enjoyed my 7250i for the past few months. It is lovely to have a camera to hand and to pass on those photos to whoever isn't with you. The radio is handy when cycling and when someone calls the radio switches off until the call is complete.

I bought a Nokia 7250i a few days ago for the reasonable price of £130, which I think is great for a colour screen camera phone of this quality.

So far I feel that this is the best phone I have owned (I have previously owned a number of Nokias - 5210, 3310, 3330, 8310 and a Sony Ericsson T610). I think the T610 is probably the 7250i's nearest rival in terms of quality and features.

The only downside to this phone is the fact that it does not have Bluetooth, which I found very usefull on my T610 for handsfree and sharing pictures.

Overall though, I think this phone is great. I would reccommend this over the T610 unless you are willing to pay another £100 for a slightly better camera and Bluetooth.

The Nokia 7250i mobile is quite stylish but still a bit on the large side (compared with the phones coming out these days). The phone itself is really easy to use, you barely need the manual at all. All of the menus are very self explanitary, but there is an even more detailed online manual avaliable at the Nokia website if you need to fall back on it. You can easy download and print this out if you want it (the phone does come with a slightly briefer manual).

The colour screen is impressive, with all of the icons in the menus being in full colour with their own little animations to go with them. There is a photo facility that offers an impressive 352x288 pixels per photo, with a zoom fuction and night mode. The night mode isn't really very good as you sill need some light and there is no flash or anything. All round, the photo capability is a bit of fun, but don't expect it to be of great quality. One nice function is that you can take a photo of your mates so when they call you on your mobile, their picture appears on the screen. Handy when you can't remember peoples names!!!

You can download stuff like ringtones, wallpapers and games from the net or a CD if you get yourself a USB data cable. These are all as good as each other, so I'd recommend that you just shoot onto the net and buy one from an online auction or internet retailer. With the cable, you can also convert you pics from your phone over to the computer, enabling you to store pics from all your nights out!!!!

There is a handy hands free option for those drivers amongst us. This is simple and easy to operate, just follow the instructions. No probelms there!

The games on the phone are a bit jerky and slow, but what do you expect from a phone? There's loads of storage space on the phone for pics, texts etc, and you can even use it to email people!!!!!

I'd say it's a really handy, easy to use phone with loads of extra functions to keep you happy. It's not over complicated and comes with a very reasonable price tag. A good all rounder.

I'd never been a big fan of mobile phones. I had an old Siemens for years, but never considered upgrading since I hardly used it. My sister, however, decided on a new mobile and I became the owner of a hand-me-down Nokia 3310, and liked it so much that I decided to spend some of my hard earned cash on a newer Nokia model.

The array of phones available can be confusing, but I knew I wanted a colour screen, an integrated camera and polyphonic ringtones, and the Nokia 7250i fitted the bill. I bought my phone off Amazon for £149.99 on Orange Pay As You Go.

As a stingy student, I was worried that the phone wouldn't be worth the money that I'd scrimped and scraped to afford it, but when it arrived all doubts were swept from my mind.

The first thing I noticed was how incredibly light it was. It's slightly smaller and thinner than the Nokia 3310, but doesn't weigh down your pockets like the 3310 does. It looks smart and professional and not overtly flashy, and its covers are removeable which is handy for cleaning dust off the inside of the screen.

It is internet enabled, which is useful for downloading wallpapers, ringtones, games and applications, and also comes in handy for checking news, weather, cinema times etc. When on the go.

However, the phone buttons themselves are rather small and fiddly. I've got small hands so can manage to use it quite easily, but it would be difficult for someone with larger hands to send text messages, for example.

The screen is a nice size and graphics are clear. The integrated camera is what I was most interested in when I first bought the phone, and it didn't let me down. Considering it is a phone and not a camera, the photos are relatively clear, although you have to keep movement to an absolute minimum when taking a photo, and a photo taken from a distance (even quite a small distance) is usually very unclear. There is also a night mode, where the camera tries to capture as much light as possible to make a photo taken in the dark or night clear. This mode works to a limited extent.

I was also impressed by the radio function on the phone. My phone came with headphones to be used with it, and the radio has proved invaluable on long journeys and has kept me entertained between lectures at Uni. You can also turn the radio onto loudspeaker, so your friends round about you can hear it, too.

The phone has an impressive memory. In practical terms, I've had about 30 text messages saved to my phone, about 60 ringtones, around 20 photos and 30 or so graphics and not even came close to using up the phone memory. Battery life is good, too. I rarely have to charge it, although I don't use it an excessive amount, so it would need charging more often if I did.

The phone book enables you not only to store phone numbers, but allows you to store multiple numbers for each person, as well as email addresses etc. You can also store a picture alongside the names in your phonebook.

The phone came with 2 games already installed. I became almost addicted to Triple Pop, but didn't like Bounce, but it is easy to download new games off Orange World, even though you have to pay for them.

The phone has proved to be quite hardy, too. I'm quite clumsy and have dropped it more than once. It also came along with me on an archaeological excavation where it was stuck in my bag or pocket in the rain on more than one occassion, and also fell out my pocket and got buried in sand in another, yet it remained unscathed. I've also not had any problems with reception yet, even when I've taken the phone to out of the way places like the Scottish highlands.

However, it has its faults. It is not Bluetooth enabled for a start, and its covers are quite difficult to remove. The power button at the top is extremely difficult to press down, and although this means it won't turn itself off in your bag, it can be annoying and inconvenient.

Nevertheless, I love my little phone and would recommend it to any potential buyer.
