The Nokia 7250 is surely Nokia's worst camera phone.
Whilst it is based on a successful design (the 7210) and incorporates
a stereo FM radio, polyphonic ringtones and Java™ capability,
it fails as a camera phone for the simple reason that it has a terrible
colour display and an even worse camera. Add reliability problems
to the mix and you get a phone that is best avoided. A better option
is the newer Nokia 7250i, or one of
Nokia's later generations of camera phone, such as the 6230.

Dreadful phone. The screen is so poor it makes every 'photo' look
like a Monet. If you want a camera phone then you can't get a worse
one, it you don't want a camera phone, then there are much better
Nokias that do the other jobs better. To be avoided at all cost. Rating:

had this phone for 7 yrs and it still works..... thank you nokia

The Nokia 7250 is not only the most stylish mobile phone on the
market it is also about the easiest to use. The few problems with
this phone include limited gaming facilities, poor camera visibility
and regular charging but apart from these three negative factors
the Nokia 7250 is without a doubt the best looking handset I have

I've imported this from London. Even though this is the first camera
model in Nokia the services and picture clarity and every thing

option / future doesn't work what is the intention of the Company
to insert it as one of the menu option. Its a white color cheating.

in general i would say that after having this phone for 18 months
it has never really let me down. although at times selecting certain
options on the menu does cause it to turn off and not return on
for several mins. the infared is rubbish and doesnt work. camera
quality is very poor as are the original pictures on the handset.
memory is very good, can store and adequate number of pics and msgs
aswell as contacts. menu is easy to use as is text. and being nokia
it is all about the basic nokia structure. overall..a good phone
for the calling and texting and general reliability, but for the
additional features the only one that really shines is the in built

but what do you expect, it was one of the first camara phones avaliable.
i know the pix wernt too great on the phone but once they were on
your computer they didnt look too bad and plus i had 250+ pix on
my phone and i could still store loads of texts and loads of contacts.

I've had this phone 2 years and I'm about to replace it with PDA/phone

and has always done what I've asked without fuss. Other reviewers
don't like the camera. There's nothing wrong with it - it's the
size of the display that could be a problem for some. But download
your pics onto a computer with the usb data cable and you'll see
standard webcam-style images. I've always managed a 4 day battery
life with average use. Only real bad point for me was the tacky

The nokia 7250 is a great well-working phone brought out by Nokia.
I have had fun with the camera so far, but compared to proper digital

set to HIGH quality in settings). The screensaver is set to A Digital
Clock, which can't be changed (by who really cares? Whos going to
look at a screensaver when the 7250 is in your pocket?). Pictures
taken on the camera and downloaded can be used as a Wallpaper, and
a quick short cut to the camera (by pressing ^) really helps. Shame
about the in-built FM radio requiring the additional headset, but
remember the headset in actually the radio antenna as well, great
to know that pressing the button on the headset toggles through
your pre-set radio stations too! Polyphonic ringtones sound awesome
too! The nokia 7250 has an infrared port too, meaning if you get
yourself Nokia's 7250 PC Suite and your computer has an infrared
port, you can send pictures and ringtones to your phone for free!

the 7250, picture and screen quality isn't as good as i expected
and the camera doesn't have a zoom. I find the buttons quite hard
to press aswell really can't wait for my years contract to end.
There are much better camera phones on the market i really wish
i'd got the Sharp GX10 like my boyfriend said but i thought i knew
better! Rating:

I'm quite dissappointed with this phone after paying $1000 for it!
It drops out all the time and says insert sim. It takes ages to
open applications and the photos aren't great. The camera is a fun
option but not if you seriously want to take decent photographs.
I wouldn't buy one of these again. Rating:

People, people, people... having read dozens of "7250's CAMERA SUX
AS#!!!!1111111" I have to wonder how the human race has ever made
it this far... Has anyone ever tried to send a picture to a computer
via e-mail or other means? The pics aren't too bad, the phone's
screen is more like a preview, not the real thing. If you only want
to use the camera of the phone for viewing the pictures in the phone
itself and not putting them on a computer (and possibly even printing
them out), then buy a camera that has a phone (eg. the other cameraphones),
not 7250, which is a phone with a camera... and if you want to take
some serious photographs, then buy your camera and phone separately...
please first find out how things are, before you start to complain...
and about commercials, if you didn't know that 99% of commercials
differ from reality more or less (to make the product seem more
appealing to consumers), then you should open your eyes... the remaining
1% are bad commercials that w on't sell... Rating:

This fone is a piece of Cr#p. The first one i got was, i thought
good for the first 2 weeks then the sound stopped working and the
applications wouldnt open, so i send it back and the fone company
sent me a new one. The second one worked well for about 3 weeks
and i was starting to think i was just unlucky with the first one,
but then the camera stoped working and i lost half the screen, it
just wouldn't work. So i sent it back AGAIN and swoped it for a
5100 and got some money back. I've had the 5100 for 2 months and
have had no problems wif it except the on/off button is abit hard
but that is no problem for me because i always have my fone on.
If your finkin about the 7250 FORGET IT, buy a bit of wood, it will
work just as well. Rating:

I got this phone about 3 weeks ago and this phone is truly a fashion
phone. Wherever you go people will be looking at your phone. As
for the features, yes it isn't as advanced as the newer flip phones
with the 65k screens, 40 tone polyphonic rings, and "better" cameras.
However I bought this phone for the usuability, reliability, and
ease of use (like most Nokias). The phone has great reception in
my area (Vancouver) and I have never had a dropped call or static
during my calls. The keypad is also very good as they are connected
2 by 2 vertically which makes it much easier to use without looking
at your fingers because you can basically feel your way around the
keypad. Overall this is the perfect phone for me as it has all the
features that I want combined with the ease of use, all in a very
sexy package. Rating:

in the first place..i`m thinking of switching it to either 6610(rm
900) or 6100(rm 1100) already...the extra rm500 is not worth it
as the screen is awfull and viewing pictures from the low quality

I have had this phone for 2 months and am delighted with it. It
doesn't even compare to the t100 and DOES have a vibrate function,
so disregard the previous reviewer. The only hitch is the quality
of the screen-an area where nokia trail behind other brands especially
the new Samsungs. But this is the smallest and best designed camera
phone on the market and is impecable at everything it does. It also
has the big advantage of the best OS around. The Samsung V200 is
the only competitor, go for it if you don't mind the extra size
and consider the Zoom feature essential. Otherwise this is the phone
to have at the moment. Rating:

Well this phone i think is one of nokia 1st camera phone. Yes i
noe the photos arent great but to have a camera on a phone this
size at this point of time is pretty damn good. If u want a phone
that will take good pictures put look like ur carrying a bloody
bowling ball in your pocket then go for the gd88 and gx10. The colour
on this phone is acceptable compared to the 65k colour display phones
such as gd88 and gx10, you can blur the line between the colour
display on the 7250 wif the BIGGER CHUNKIER colour phones which
are a real turn off. The 7250 is in a class of its own and good
value for money considering having a camera colour and other handy
functions in a compact phone. Rating:

OK, so the integrated camera isn't brilliant but what do you expect

- go buy one! The pictures are good enough to have a lot of fun

The key pad is somehow a huge improvement on the 7210. Absolutely

This phones cures boredom easily with either the in-built camera,
the addictive games on it and also you can download extra things
using WAP. the one thing i don't like about it is that when you
take a picture, the picture seems quite dark but when you take it,
it looks much brighter and comes up quite sharp. No faults so far,
never a waste of £150, even though I am a poor student(well I am
