Pros: Radio. Global coverage. Camera. Great look. Great size.
Cons: No bluetooth. Expensive.
The Bottom Line: Excellent. It has all the functions that you could want, including a radio which should become a standard inclusion on all phones, and a fun camera.

| sammy_o's Full Review: Nokia 7250 |
So I needed a new phone. My 1 goal - to avoid Nokia. I had spent a few years with the 8250 and then the 8210 and had never had a worse experience with any product.
I walked into shops with the cry "show me anything that isn't a nokia". I looked around the web. I considered the sony ericson t610 and that sharp clamshell model. I looked at Samsungs and Siemens.
And I looked at the 7250i.
Could I be persuaded to go back to Nokia? People assured me that the software problems with the 8250 and 8210 were limited to those two phones.
I decided to risk it and I haven't looked back.
Despite being the sort of person who doesn't consider themselves to be too materialist and should certainly be above caring about their mobile phone, I really like this one. The colour screen is great. Really nice. The polyphonic rings and games and the covers are not so exciting so if you care about those things, you may want something else. I couldn't care less, in fact I think the cover is really nice.
The sound quality seems a little ordinary but it could be that I've just been talking to my girlfriend whose on holiday overseas a lot recently and we've had bad connections.
The camera is a bit of fun. It's not going to replace a serious camera just yet but it's a nice little accessory so long as you think of it as a fun thing to have on your phone, not a way to develop a career as an amateur photographer.
The radio is very useful. Sitting on a bus? Waiting at a cafe for friends to arrive? Walking to work? The radio is excellent. The reception is very good considering it's a phone. The headset is a little crackly at times but that's to be expected. It's really useful, particularly if, like me, you can never be bothered carrying a walkman around with you but don't mind a little bit of music if you're just waiting or something. I would never get another phone without a radio.
Also, it's a really good size. It actually looks bigger than it is because of the amount of space dedicated to the screen and buttons but it's actually a very small phone. The raised edges are also a clever touch because they help protect the screen from getting scratched in your pocket.
No bluetooth. This will disappoint some but I've never had it so don't know what I'm missing I guess.
Overall, a great phone for someone looking for a couple of extras but who doesn't expect their phone to represent their identity.
