Pros: Colored screen, built in camera, looks elegant, tri-band and MMS capable
Cons: Expensive, no bluetooth, paint on the casing not that durable.
The Bottom Line: If the camera is the only thing you want in this phone, I suggest you look somewhere else.

| ognek's Full Review: Nokia 7250 |
Having been a Nokia user for the past 8 years, it was natural for me to upgrade to Nokia branded phones. So when the phone company where I am subscribed offered free phones for it's loyal customers, I jumped on the opportunity to get this particular phone.
As a Photographer, I have always wanted a phone with built in camera but didn't want anything that would be too bulky on my pants' pocket. So after getting this phone, the first thing I did was play with the phone's camera. What a dissapointment that was, I expecting quality to be better than the older model Nokia 7650, but suprisingly it was worst. If you try taking pictures of people like in a well lit restaurant, where the people are more than 10 feet from you, you won't be able to recognize their faces anymore. The only time it became useful was when my wife recently gave birth to our second child. I took a picture of our baby at arms length, and sent it to people through the phones mms (multi media message) to people excited in seeing the baby.
My last phone a Nokia 5210, was a great no frills phone, the only problem was the phone's memory capacity was small. I was already erasing phone number of people who I thought I would never call again, just to enter new phone numbers. Good thing about the 7250 is the memory is more than twice that of the 5210. After transferring my old numbers to the new phone and added quite a number of new ones, I still have a good 40% of the memory left.
Using the phone, like other Nokia phones, are a snap to use. It is very user friendly, and if you are already a current Nokia user, getting use to this phone will only take a few minutes.
There is one function in the messaging (SMS) that I can't say I like or dislike, it's the function that saves sent messages automatically to a folder. This eats up your message memory, and you have to regularly delete these messages to free up memory. The good thing is, there are times you have typed a lengthy message and sent it to someone, and after clearing write dialog you remember you have to send it to another receipient. Since it saves all sent message, rather than re-typing the lengthy message just access the sent folder and re-send that message to another user.
Let me explains some of my cons:
Expensive - If I didn't get this phone for free, I would have had to spend over $500.00 to get this phone during that time I acquired this phone.
No bluetooth - self explanatory
Paint on the casing - After the first week of use, I have already found some parts of the silver grey case going black.
