The Tardis of mobile phones!
Seeing as everyone else wrote an essay I'll keep this brief. I upgraded from an 8310 and wanted the radio feature, this is better sound quality, the stereo headphone design is ace because the cord clips behind your neck so if you tug the cable it pulls on your neck rather than pulling the ear-pieces out!

Then camera is ace, low-light automatic amplification!! Most other cameras take orange/muddy pictures in anything other than broad daylight, the 7250i adjusts the picture to compensate for low light, good for inside, evening, or just in England (haha).

Games, you can download them (charged to your bill) or download some free ones if you search the net. Got FIFA2003, Tony Hawk's, Splinter Cell, MotoGP. All good stuff.

Tunes, haha, you get drum beats and midi instruments so I got an infra-red cable for 15 quid and downloaded the Nokia software and then converted a few midi files - Knight Rider, A-Team, Doom (Level 1)... MUCH MUCH better than ordering them because the midi files are so much better composed to start with.

So then you can save your photos to your computer, load pictures TO your phone to use as wallpaper, or as pictures to link to your contacts, my mate Tim has a picture of TIMMEH! from South Park so when he calls me I see a picture of him, ha ha, he hates being called Timmy...

WAP, I thought it was rubbish before I tried it out on the 7250i, it's decent definitely, when you're walkin round town wondering where the nearest *fill the blank* is, or wondering when your train is, you can check it out on your phone! No stupid waiting in a calling queue "Your call is held in a queue, please wait" nonsense. Ha ha, you can even search Google!

What else? Loudspeaker is cool, all the usual Nokia stuff, oh yeah so you get multi-media messaging to send your pictures - cue lots of cheeky sneaky photos.

I like the nice shortcut things you can set up. And also you can use the four-way directional button for instant functions: Up - Camera, Left - Write Text message, Right - View Calendar, Down - Contacts...

Ah, I see I've written an essay too, ah well, basically this phone wraps up a lot of very well-designed features into a size and shape that manages to stay cool and desirable unlike many other feature-rich clunky phones. It also is big enough so you can see what's going on clearly in its large bright display and navigate and control the 7250i with ease.

Top notch.

7250i - Hours of compact fun!
Having experienced the thrill of buying a swanky new phone only to be completely disappointed with it 3 days later, I was wary about the 7250i which includes a compact digital camera function, colour screen and polyphonic ring tones and definitely seemed swanky. However, I have been pleasantly surprised and Nokia seem to have come up trumps again.

Appearance: The phone is very compact for all the great features that are stuffed inside, being only about 1cm longer than the 82/8310 and if anything is lighter in weight. The fascia that comes on the phone is plain but stylish and mainly blue - although I'm assured it's changeable if you don't like it. The keypad is a lot more comfortable for texting than some of the smaller models and the colour screen makes it quite interesting - and you can even choose your own background, be it from one of the files that are already saved on the phone, from one of the photos that you've taken or you can download others via WAP depending on your network. The camera lens is in the back of the phone directly on the other side of the screen which adds to the compact nature of the phone and means you don't have to contort yourself into a weird position to take photos.

On a general level: the software is great, the phone is very user friendly as I would have come to expect from Nokia by now and as far as I can see, excepting the colour menus, it's along the lines of previous phones, so if you're used to the software on older models, you'll get to grips with this straight away. The menu scroller has some useful shortcut functions allowing you to go directly into camera, text message or calendar mode.

The camera function is good fun and if you're like me you'll probably spend the first few days getting to know the phone by taking obscure photos of everything from your friends to the back of a milk carton. The clip art function is great and allows you to turn said friends into Mickey Mouse ear wearer's or nordic warriors at the press of a button. I can't comment currently on the MMS (media messaging) function as nobody I know can receive or send MMS, but I'm sure as the technology takes off this will be a useful asset.

The radio function on my 8310 was always a great added extra and is on this model too, with the added benefit of a loud speaker function which only functions if you have the earphones plugged in. And if you keep the earphones in you can also now set the alarmclock to wake you up with the radio instead of a vibrating beeping noise.

One advantage of this phone is it's connectability, using software which is easily downloadable from the Nokia website you can synchronise the phone book and calendar with Microsoft Outlook if that is your program of choice and you can down- and upload multimedia content. And the WAP function seems to be the most straightforward I have seen in a while with the added benefit of a colour screen to surf in glorious technicolour!

I have only two concerns both of which will hopefully be answered over time. Firstly, the phone is so small, light and compact that I am concerned that one drop will completely destroy the whole thing (so remember to get it insured!) and secondly, the memory is somewhere in the region of 4Mb (I think) which is alot for a phone but I wonder how much multimedia content capacity that will provide in real terms.

On the whole, I am thoroughly satisfied with the Nokia 7250i, and even my two concerns can not prevent me from giving it 5 stars. It's fun, it's easy to use and it'll make all your friends go oooooer! Go and get yourself one!

World class phone!
Before this phone I had the reliable 7110 but it was a bit out-dated nowadays so I bought the snazzy 7250i.This phone is superb in every way, it looks good, so easy to use, texting is much more easier and faster, the camera is excellent, everything is brilliant. There are also added advantages such as the stereo radio, polyphonic ringtones, WAP etc.
Probably my favourite thing about the phone is MMS, sending photos and recieving them is so much fun, and you can write way more than SMS(160 in normal SMS, 1000 in MMS)so you send a picture, audio and lots of text which is always a good bonus.
I definitely recommend this mobile phone to anyone who is thinking of buying a modern phone.
