The greatest phone ever, Sound quality to GOOD to me. 2MP camera just good.
Reviewer: Naga - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Date: 19th Feb 2008
See the phone in the website, looks great. Features are what to expect from the latest phone model. Design & colour is so great, going to get it when available.
Reviewer: Bruce Twijukye - Kampala, Uganda
Date: 18th Dec 2007
Nokia 3250 Music Xpress is a very nice phone, infact I'd love to have it.
Reviewer: Swapnil - Pune, India
Date: 9th Dec 2007
Well it's really a good phone. It has 2MP camera. Good in sunlight, basically for outdoor images as it don't have flash. Built in speakers are very good & rocking even better than N70 music. Sound is good. Looks wise it's awesome. It has WAP browser with cursor, & it's amazing. Battery backup is good.
What I don't like about this phone is that, it's camera quality, not poor but if you compare it with N70, I give him 5 out of 10, but all over I like this phone very much due to its music.
Reviewer: Anon - Jordan
Date: 28th Nov 2007
I don't think I will change my phone. Nokia 3250 Xpress Music is perfect.
Reviewer: Dan - Wales, UK
Date: 14th Nov 2007
This phone is great I don't know what I would of done without it.
Reviewer: Salem - Lattakia, Syrian Arab Republic
Date: 6th Oct 2007
I really have had no problems with this phone.
Reviewer: Mohit - Pune, India
Date: 20th Sep 2007
Design wise, it's a good phone, one which has heavy & masculine looks, not a slim phone like girls like to carry.
Feature wise, it's too bad, it doesn't work properly. Hanging problem is not yet solved. Joystick creates lot of troubles. Sound quality is awesome & can beat any other Nokia & other music phones. Camera Quality is OK, but not comparable to other 2MP camera phones like Sony & Samsung. Battery backup is very good, which is very necessary for music phones.
My phone heats up while charging. Screen resolution is good & supports many video formats & resolutions which other phones do not. Inspite of all those problems, I like to twist this phone. I love this phone, so personally. I give 100% to this phone, it's not perfect but good enough for me.
Reviewer: Jack - Ankawa, Iraq

It's very cool & a good phone.
Reviewer: Camry - US
Date: 25th Aug 2007
Yekh, thought it's called a mobile, I bought it the prob is there that twisting is like very bad, too much twist times make a phone discreet I should say, no one should buy the Nokia 3250 Edition.
Reviewer: Masry - Canada
Date: 17th Aug 2007
I very much want to get this phone but I hear people say its bad & people say it's amazing I really don't one what to do. It's cheap but is it worth it? I read reviews on 6111 Nokia & I thought it was going to be great but it was a piece of rubbish when I got it!
Should I get it, or shud I save up more money?
Reviewer: Mare - Yugoslavia
Date: 17th Jul 2007
How can somebody give this phone 100% for design, it is a brick literally. It's good but not the best. About the sms sending there is a sms accelerator on Nokia website which fixes the problem. However I have a new one, I bought hands-free Bluetooth & I can't connect it with phone. It works with my Fathers 6310 but my phone can't see this device & it's not a problem in Bluetooth both devices work, but can't see each other. HELP PLEASE!
Reviewer: Jaki - Manchester, UK
Date: 16th Jul 2007
With folders hidden where they can't be found unless you consult the inch thick manual, it can be a bit of a pain. Everything that your usual Nokia has is in a totally different place! It's definitely a steep learning curve. It weighs a TON. Try not to drop it that is fatal as it will break, even on the carpet, useless thing! Useful things found on other Nokia's are missing like a countdown timer and key guard. It has lots of useless things that no normal person would ever use. One redeeming feature is the camera & good photo quality.
Reviewer: Moni Candy - Simona, Bulgaria
Date: 10th Jul 2007
WOW this is a great phone.
Reviewer: Amir Hakimi Ghotrom - Tehran, Iran
Date: 27th Jun 2007
It's not bad but its camera is not 2MP in fact. The quality of pics says that you can compare with other 2mpix cellphones, like Motorola z3, v3x, Sony Ericsson k750, k800 & the video capture is horrible. Sound is good, not very good, just GOOD. Totally it is not a bad phone, but you have better choices.
Reviewer: Peter - London, UK
Date: 26th Jun 2007
My phone is the greatest phone I ever had :-).
Reviewer: PJ - London, UK
Date: 18th Jun 2007
Pros:
- Looks good, classy & shiny
- Nice large screen with good res
- Comes with real player installed
- Takes great pics if you hold it still long enough
- Good video quality
- Time unlimited video recording
- cool self portrait feature
- Easy to create playlists
- Sounds great with good volume levels
- Good hands-free speaker quality
- Expandable memory
- Good battery life
Cons:
- Rather heavy & bricklike
- Flimsy plastic back cover
- Pics blur totally if you move for a few seconds after taking
- No games
- Silly pop off caps that you lose easily
- Slow to charge
- Only 2 themes & no wallpapers
- After a few weeks Texting takes FOREVER, at least 3 minutes during which the whole phone freezes, you can't take incoming calls or do ANYTHING while it's sending, doesn't matter if you have loads of free memory or if your in/out box is full or empty, it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO annoying.
- No flash
- Painfully slow WAP
Though it saddens me to say it as I adore it's metallic pinkness, I am giving up on this phone as the texting problems are driving me mental, if Nokia sorted that & added a flash this would be a great phone, as it stands the urge to throw it off the top of a tall building may well overwhelm you.

Reviewer: Bob - Newmarket, UK

Reviewer: S.kishore Kumar - Tamil Nadu, India
Date: 20th Apr 2007
SOME TIME IT IS GOOD TO USE & ANOTHER TIME IT WILL BE PROBLEM SO MY SUGGESTION IS GO FOR N73 MUSIC EDITIONS IT WILL BE BETTER FOR EVERYTHING.
Reviewer: Adiputra Pandypta - Jakarta, Indonesia
Date: 12th Apr 2007
A great phone, the price is reasonable & better than N70!
Reviewer: Ehsan Rezanejadasl - Bonab, Iran
Date: 9th Apr 2007
This phone have same problem. But against the other phone such as Nokia n70 it is the best.
Reviewer: Gh - India
Date: 8th Apr 2007
The Xpress Music edition of Nokia 3250 is a good phone so far. Certainly impressed with its voice communication system. It allows you to speak any of your phone book contacts name & it will dial (you don't have to pre-record your contacts name in voice, it's BY definitely CD Walkman 'not the phone' ear phones to this phone).
It's a symbian based phones & hence you can customise it with many software's. Battery life for this phone (good bright display, FM radio, Music player) is OK. Little bulky to fit in pocket. That's one let down for me. Rest working well. I am satisfied with this phone for its price. Definitely worth!
Reviewer: Shine - India
Date: 3rd Apr 2007
Nokia 3250 is just awesome. But the only problem in this phone is when you are sending text messages it is very slow. Sometimes it takes 2 to 3 minutes to send one sms. I think text messaging feature should be upgraded. Apart from that this phone is simply superb.
Reviewer: Tony - Birmingham, UK
Date: 24th Mar 2007
This phone is massive! It won't fit into my pockets, especially when the headphones are plugged in, but this is also good, because I am very clumsy, & drop it all the time, sure its scratched, but its no slower than when I first got it a couple of months ago. The sound quality isn't as good as a Sony Ericsson Walkman phone, but it is only a very small difference. The camera is good but lacks a flash, but the video camera is excellent, with 15 frames/second. The small joystick however is not, it is way too fiddly, & when your hands are cold you can't navigate the phone at all. Personally I think I chose the right phone over a Sony Ericsson w850i, as that is: to common, ugly, unreliable & most of all, a bit chavvy. This phone will not let you down, & that is why I recommend you buy this if you are in the market for a music phone.

Guys this phone is great no problems at all. Music player is the best.
Reviewer: Jacob Eapen - Salmiya, Kuwait
Date: 15th Mar 2007
3250 is certainly a great phone, but it can be a little too delicate if not handled carefully. It gives pretty much of software trouble too. But it valuable for the money paid!
Reviewer: Yasser Ahmed Mohamed - Egypt
Date: 13th Mar 2007
It is a great mobile.
Reviewer: A - UK
Date: 11th Mar 2007
Thought it was a nice phone but not really. Bought it as new & did last about 8 months. It kept saying that the themes was corrupted so couldn't use the one I wanted & in the end it just shut down & wouldn't even start. It's also very slow.
Would not recommend this phone to anyone! Too bad though cause it looks quite nice.
Reviewer: Big Nath T - Uzbekistan
Date: 5th Mar 2007
Mint phone but disappointing video quality which is limited to a rubbish size :P other than that let down its great :D
Reviewer: Kat - Beds, UK
Date: 4th Mar 2007
Useless phone had since May 2006 nothing but trouble since, firmware upgrade did not solve problem with freezing screen when sending text messages sometimes for up to five mins!
Turns itself off at random freezes at random & won't run the music player.
I REALLY WOULD NOT recommend BUYING ONE OF THESE PHONES AT ALL UNLESS YOU WANT A SLOW ANNOYING PIECE OF rubbish WHICH DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY!
Reviewer: Shudai - Tandek, Kota Marudu, Malaysia
Date: 3rd Mar 2007
Nokia 3250 is the best phone I've ever got. Especially the sound, it is great to listen in loudspeaker but a bit bad when use earphone. About hang when send messages, I finally solve the problems. So now I comfort in using Nokia 3250.
Reviewer: Mr Davids - Lagos, Nigeria

The phone is very good & entertaining. The first day I saw the phone from my friend hand I was been carried away because the phone was too balm. The phone is very very good.

Reviewer: Anom - Manchester, UK
Date: 24th Feb 2007
This phone is absolutely NO GOOD whatsoever. It is incredibly slow at sending text messages. The music & wap browser are fantastic & sound quality is ace but text messaging really lets it down I am really disappointed I got this phone, I am going to have to put up with it for another 7 months as I have got it out on contract. Gutted!

Reviewer: Donovan - UK

I have had this phone for a while now & yes I agree the text messages take forever on this phone to send, sometimes up to a few minutes. I have also recently acquired a virus from browsing on my wap. This virus is sending viruses around with out me knowing & causing my phone bill to rocket. Be aware when purchasing this phone as it can EASILY be infected.

Reviewer: JoJo - UK
Date: 6th Dec 2006
I have had this phone since June, & only a few weeks after that I was fed up with it! It's so slow! Like when I send a message I want to get on with either sending another or doing something else on the phone but it takes like 2 mins for the screen to stop being frozen for me to actually use it again! Its good for music & everything else like that though but it's not fast to take quick pics or anything like that! Am looking to get a new one soon but I took out an 18 month contract so gotta wait! I just gone back to my old phone now!
Reviewer: Fathy El-touky - Tehran, Iran
Date: 3rd Dec 2006
This phone is such an amazing phone that I have ever seen. It has everything you would think of. I saw a friend who had the older version Nokia 3250 & it was amazing, so I would expect so much of this phone with its 1GB available memory that comes with it & which ppl say you can expand to 2GB. It's great. Congratulations to all ppl who have this phone!
