Nokia 7250i Review

Nokia 9500

The Nokia 7250i is a great mid-range Nokia phone that offers users a high quality digital camera, an FM radio receiver, and browser functions without costing as much as the top-range phones that come with video imaging capability and MP3 players. The integrated speakerphone and tri-band network support round out the list of features that make this mobile worth a second look.

This phone’s digital camera has excellent functions such as a night mode and image editor. As more and more people are discovering, one advantage digital cameras have over SLR cameras is their ability to take quality photographs in low-light—without the use of a flash. What makes this phone particularly exciting is that it makes it possible for users to edit their pictures—such as inserting text, or adding fun extras such as borders and clip art—all without needing to connect to a PC.

For more advanced editing however, the Nokia 7250i does offer both cable and infrared connectivity. JPEG support is something this phone takes full advantage of. The Nokia 7250i makes it easier than ever to keep your contacts in order. Users can attach photos to contacts, so browsing the phonebook—or even answering incoming calls—leaves nothing to chance. When someone calls, a stored JPEG portrait appears along with the caller’s name. The total 4 MB worth of memory is enough to ensure that users have all the space they need for applications and photos until they can up upload their latest photos to a PC.

Tri-band and dual-band network compatibility—along with the integrated FM radio receive—offers users exceptional communication options. The phone’s network service is compatible with networks everywhere except Australia and Antarctica, with automatic or manual network switching. And while the Nokia 7250i’s lack of an MP3 player may deter some, the FM radio is an interesting feature that allows users to listen to music without paying the extra cost for an MP3 player. The radio doubles as an alarm, so you can wake up to music—even while you’re traveling.

The pre-installed XHTML browser and JavaTM support are nice features for users who want some PC functions on their mobile phone. JavaTM applications are numerous, various, and often free. Users can download several different conversion programs, such as for weights and temperatures—as well as have access to plenty of fun games.

The Nokia 7250i is not a top-of-the-line Nokia phone, but many users will find that this phone has all the features they’re looking for, and the easy-to-use menus and attractive design also go a long way towards making this phone the right choice for many people.
