Beats the Nokia 7250
I got a bit bored with my nokia 7250 (not the 7250i as I got an early model), so I bought a nokia 3660 which was good but far too big; so instead I bought the 3200 on amazon.

This phone is quite amazing, it does everything the nokia 7250 does apart from its a tiny bit bigger (hardly noticeable about 2mm or so) but it includes extra features like cut out covers, voice recorder (which the recordings can be make as ring tones) and it also includes a torch (admitedly it took me a week to find it - only found by pressing the * key).

Ok, so the layout of the keys is a tiny bit annoying but it doesn't take long to adjust (simply look on the nokia site for layout as there is no picture on amazon).

An excellent all round phone with the flawless nokia menu list, its great value for money and it makes the 7250 look expensive.

Its a great first phone for someone or a phone for someone who likes a change.

Nice, bright, robust phone thats good value
After owning the Nokia 3200 for just under a year, I can say its been a excellent, well built, colorful phone with enough features to keep you happy - at the value it is.
To start with the camera, I would say it has reasonable quality. When changing the quality setting, you won't notice the difference much on the phone screen, but if you display them on your computer (I bought the "DKU-5" cable seperately to connect phone to PC - reccomended!!) then you notice the difference, and printouts are quite acceptable - about the size of half a postcard without changing dimensions. The average High Quality pic takes up about 16kb of memory, and is viewed as either a GIF. or JPEG file on your computer/phone.
The internal memory of just 1mb is a bit dissapointing - you'll be suprised how it all gets used quickly with various things! But for the price, it'll do - were not buying this phone to become photographers or gamers.. just to take some fun snaps, and play a game or 2 when bored. Thats the idea after all.
Games can be played too on this phone. Admitedly, they will be quite basic, but like I said before, this is just a phone, and having a game or few is ideal for bus journeys, car rides, or just when bored. They normally quite bright and colorful which is nice, but take up serious amounts of memory if big games - between 30 and 100 kb unfortunatley, which on a more exspensive phone is nothing.
The phone itself is extremerly robust, as most cheaper Nokia phones are. I love this, simply because you dont have to worry about sratching delicate screens, or worry about dropping it - both problems with clam/exspensive phones. I've actually dropped this phone on many surfaces and its still great, nothing wrong with it. The battery life is good, but depends on how you use the phone. Constant texting at night (like me!) will mean your battery level will soon drop, giving it about 2 days worth from 8 till 11 each day say. Using the GPRS also sucks the battery life out, so beware!
I love the button layout, despite mixed opinions, as it not only looks good, but is tidy. It may seem wierd at first, but it soon becomes a doddle, and the centre round button that gives quick access to 4 custom features of your phone is very handy in deed - 1 touch of my right button gives me a bland text message.
GPRS is very good to use to kill time, look at the news, even go on certain web sites! I even clerverly went on Google Images to copy pictures to my phone! :p its brilliant to use ideal for things like sport, chat rooms, news, etc. On my Tesco/02 SIM, I had 3 free months of internet time, which was brilliant, but they dont tell you theres 3 free months, so soon I was paying without realising.. and its very exspensive!
The cover idea is nice, but a bit over marketed - its a phase that you soon find less exciting the longer you have the phone, and I've now just resrted to having no cover, which looks quite good. But with the free cutter, making covers is easy.
There are plenty of nice features to have, the best for me being the organiser - setting daily reminders with alarms is so helpful and now a daily activity. The colour themes are a nice idea, and the ringtones are good quality in a MIDI type file. Again, I went on the GPRS, searched the internet to find plenty of tones to download for free. But I wont got into detail because I just dont see the need, tones aren't that important unless your worried about needing MP3 ringtones.. why?
Radio is good quality, ideal for football, music etc and discreet with being a single earbud type. The signal does vary, so make sure the cable isnt being obstructed in your pocket etc. The voice recorder is a feature that, like the camera, is really only good if you buy the DKU-5 cable to connect to computer. Then you can do things with the recordings/photos
Overall, its brillant value, and a tough phone that should provide the basic phone needs, while adding a bit of colour and sound to the phones life. I would deffinatley reccomend buying the computer cable for full advantage however, as this is misleading - even in manual! You'll also need to download Nokia PC Suite for free. Enjoy!

Could this be the way forward?
No, not really, however it is the place to stop, take phones any further and it will get stupid. The phone, great radio, good camera, alot of punch out of the 4096 colour screen, java games, although there isnt many ringtones on the phone, visit www.cbfmobile.com for some free ringtones. There is one little problem, the 1 mb memory, but dont let that put you off.

My advice, if you want a phone for 100 quid or less, this is your perfect match, trust me, im happy, if your going for a more expensive phone then my friend has a samsung e700 thats almost as good, not much better considering the extra 65 quid.

Overall, brillant phone, if you own a nokia 7250 be assahamed, this phone has all the same stuff, and its way cheaper.
