phew theres alot of information there!
as you can see there's a lot of functions marked '3'which i don't use, and a lot marked '4' which i dont even know what they do! so the bottom line is.... no i don't need all those functions, but it's still the best phone i've owned and i can 'grow' into it as i learn more about the phone.
i have found the layout of the phone much the same as any other nokia i have owned with an easy to navigate menu and an attractive exterior which can be changed to suit your mood with a wide range of covers available.
so if your an average person who uses there phone to call and sms/mms your friends then you could go for a cheeper lower spec model but if you want a really good phone which will expand with your growing knowledge then you couldnt go past the nokia 7250i
