Looks & feels good, perfect for a stop gap phone but difficult to hear voices on an incoming phone call, tried allsorts to get voices to sound higher without any success.

N-Series phones from Sony Ericsson.

Does any of you knows how to Edit the pictures taken by this phone? I see it only saves picture on 640 x 480 size which makes the picture weight from 70 to 100kb. I need to know the way to reduce the picture size.

Thanks in Advance.

Looks pretty nice, a bit like the Motorola L6, but smaller & feels more comfortable in your trouser pocket. Good call quality, but as someone else posted, hard to talk & listen at the same time. Texting is a doddle. Camera is not so good. I haven't tried the radio yet. Don't know what battery life is like yet as I just bought it today. Got it from Phones 4u for 45 quid with 20 top up, a great phone for the money.

Reviewer: Ms K - Göteborg, Sweden

Looks & functions OK, being the cheap alternative. I have just one bug, but a big one when listening to radio for more than 10 minutes makes it loose contact with SIM card! This is more than a bit annoying, since the radio is the single feature I might accept to pay extra for.

& a minor mis design it seems like I am not supposed to remove the backing. Almost impossible to get it off, especially without breaking loose the lens cover too.

By now, I've been patient & let the store repair or change the phone, but if four individual phones one after the other displays the same trouble, there is something fishy about.

This is a good phone but the keys are very tiny. This can make some problems. Overall the mobile phone is very good.

Reviewer: Graham - UK

Too quite, no features, fiddly to hold, hate it to the core & far to expensive, wouldn't pay £5 for it.

Reviewer: Bas - Netherlands
Date: 14th Mar 2008

It's just so Zen. I love the fact that all the useless customization options & such have been dropped in favour of a really simple, clean & fast user interface. The UI might not be filled with dazzling eye candy, but it certainly isn't ugly (well. Apart from the calendar screen which looks hideous).

Sure enough, T250i has some shortcomings, but all in all it's a great little phone for its price. The worst problem for me is that the wap browser seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to rendering pages, but then Sony Ericsson browsers have always been terrible.

This phone is very nice & well shaped. The price is actually low. I wish the phone had connection via USB port.

To remove the dictionary settings, when typing a new message go to options, & select dictionary & select no.

Just bought my Sony Ericsson 250i last February 7, 2008 at first I begin to appreciate the look but upon using it I find it hard while making a call or text instantly as I am used to do with my other phone. The worse part last February 17, 2007 the right selection key on my unit was detached & the shop wanted it to be repaired. I mean it's a brand new phone & was damaged for only 10 days? Strange.

Great phone for £30 no features at all really. Very sleek look to the phone. I only bought this to bridge a gap to pay day & seems to have stepped up to the mark. Good little phone for £30 can't really complain.

I bought this for my wife's valentine, but after using it a day she was disappointed, because she couldn't enter much in the phone book, only the name & phone number. I have another Sony Ericcson that cost the same price but where you can enter names & addresses etc., so we will switch. For me it's OK, the features to hear FM radio & the delivered headset are nice, & it also has a build in camera. Since I am often on the plane the quadriband covering is interesting. Good price/quality, seems also strongly build.

Reviewer: Nikolai - Munich, Germany
Date: 6th Feb 2008

Great looking phone, quite a loud ringtone, seems to be robust. Nasty features, difficult to talk & to listen simultaneously, & problems with the power controller, software? Just after buying it. Weak call. The most disappointing feature for me is that 8 symbols names allowed! It is even not from yesterday!

Reviewer: Tweke - UK

For 30 Quid it is absolutely Beautiful for talking & texting that is. I am very Happy. Cheers.

Reviewer: Bob Lang - Ashford, UK

It is a fantastic phone but there is not many ring tones for it & I would like to get some, do you know where to get them?

---

Reviewer: Sam - London, UK
Date: 27th Jan 2008

Lovely looking phone, very basic & simple to use, but what can you expect for 30 quid! Not as user friendly as the good old Nokia. Camera only just OK. Predictive text not fantastic but most annoying thing is that it is very difficult to hear anything! Any appears to be very little to rectify this. Would be good as back up phone.

Reviewer: Matt - Wales, UK
Date: 23rd Jan 2008

I bought this as a second phone, as a backup should anything go wrong with my Motorola V8.

The handset looks great & is easy to use, & everything is very simple. Texting, calling, picture messaging (with VGA camera), calendar & calculator are all present, & all one is likely to need or expect with such an entry level handset. Yes, the operating system is like something from 2002, but then this is meant to be a basic phone. If you want a cheap or spare phone that works well & is easy to use, get it. If you want something up-to-date with all the latest gadgets, avoid.

CONS, speaker volume is very quiet, & cannot be adjusted.

I want to know how to auto number lock the phone key pad for protecting anyone to use it.

Reviewer: Robert Pointon - Stafford, UK
Date: 6th Jan 2008

Easy to use, good design. The only problem is that you can't do anything with it. Can't connect via Bluetooth to other phones, or connect to your PC. All it's good for is texting & chatting. OK for the old people. No good for anyone else. Buy cheap you get rubbish!

I just Got this Mobile three Days Ago, the Design of the Phone is really very fine if someone asked me to give opinion about mobile design then I would give it 100% prefer this one. BUT there is short coming of this mobile I am going to replace it because of Battery, Phone cuts off any time, another problem with this is the ringtone. I am going to get a N-Series.

Reviewer: M Taylor - Sheffield, UK
Date: 1st Jan 2008

For the money this phone is unbeatable & I love it to bits. Have just finished an 18 month contract with 3 using a Sony Ericsson K800i (a brick) & just one month payment would buy one of these great phones. It's simple, it's cute, it's reliable & looks great & quite honestly some of the comments other People have left is plain daft. What do you expect from a phone that cost just £30.00? the other great thing about this phone is if you do happen to lose, break, have it stolen, it's not the end of the world, like it would be if you owned an iPhone. Just go out & buy another!

Reviewer: Greville - Estrincham, UK
Date: 26th Dec 2007

Disappointing to have a phone that looks pretty nice & feels a lot better made than some more expensive Sony models but lacking such basic features as a user dictionary. This is meant to be an entry level phone but really ought to have this most fundamental of features. It also doesn't look like such a good deal now that you can get the W200 for £35 which has a decent interface & a music player, albeit hampered by a small memory stick.

Does anyone knows a driver for infra-red connection T250i with my PC? If so please advise.

Great design, good price, basic features, only 2MB memory. For this price 9 out of 10.

Reviewer: Bo T - Denmark
Date: 11th Dec 2007

I am really disappointed with the Sony Ericsson T250i. There are very few things that can be customised in the phones settings.

But the biggest problem is that you can't add any words to the built in dictionary! Furthermore, the dictionary is really flawed, it simply does not include very commonly used words.

Do not by this phone as it is junk!

Reviewer: Ralph - Hull, UK
Date: 11th Dec 2007

Good basic phone for talking & texting, but you'll soon notice some missing features. You can't zoom in on photos, despite the camera's resolution exceeding the display. Actually, for a VGA, the cameras adequate, & the pictures are about as large as you can send by MMS anyway.

You can't assign images or tones to individual contacts, & contact names are limited in length, even when stored on the phone as opposed to the SIM. It doesn't have the sophistication of Nokia's profiles, but you do have Silent, Discreet, Normal & Loud modes for the phone, which should cover most bases.

The infra-red's pitifully weak. I have to have the transmitter & receiver windows practically touching to get it to work, despite Sony Ericsson's quoted 6 to 8 operational range.

Those are the bad points. But the good points outweigh those minor gripes for a basic phone to talk & text with, & for £30, it can't really be faulted.

Hey I am going to buy this phone or the Orange Sagem MY411X can someone please send a review saying what phone I should get asap.

Reviewer: Martyn - Netherton, UK
Date: 26th Nov 2007

Nice looking phone but be warned before you buy!

You CAN NOT add any words to the built in dictionary which is a total pain, so basically unless you are texting simple texts. The predictive text is useless. Another problem is the font is really small & no option to change it.

Took mine back & got a refund. Shame as it's a great looking phone just not very user friendly.

Reviewer: Linda - Kent, UK
Date: 26th Nov 2007

Just got this phone & before I got it I read comments from other users, they have got it right. It is easy to use from the word GO. Looks really nice, slim & light, compared to other phones this one is the best one to have, does all I need it to do, perfect in all ways.

T250i is very sleek, nice to use phone with great looks. It is quite light weight & easy to carry. The keypad is also very efficient.

It's slightly difficult to type SMS, as I am new to its keypad & the intelligent text concepts.

Overall, very good phone for its price.

Reviewer: Nino - Kettering, UK

Nice little phone. Shame it doesn't have Bluetooth. Easy to use nice looking. If you are looking for a basic phone this is one to have. Works well looks nice. Ring tones loud, user friendly & I give it thumbs up.

Hi ya. I am GETTING THIS phone IN A FEW DAYS BECAUSE I LOST MY PHONE & AM GETTING IT FREE. I JUST WONDERED IF SOMEONE COULD TELL ME WHAT the MEMORY IS LIKE? LIKE HOW MANY SONGS, MESSAGES, PICTURES IT COULD HOLD? PLEASE GET BACK TO ME, THANKS.

Reviewer: Sudhyasheel - India

Near perfect! You've got to own it to believe its stunning beauty. The designers did a fabulous job on this model. The detailing is simply awesome. The brushed aluminium finish, the metallic detailing on the sides, the refined navigation key with spin effect & a laser-cut logo on the back. It really doesn't get better that this from a design perspective. A detail freak to be honest.

At its price (I got it at Rs 4200 [105 USD approx]) it's the very best you can expect if you are willing to shed out a little extra just for the design exclusivity. Usability is super simple & flaunting it is fun! Go for it folks, you won't regret it!

Reviewer: Teresa - UK
Date: 26th Sep 2007

Great phone. Nice design & easy to use.

One complaint is that when using predictive text it's not possible to add words to the dictionary that are not already in there! However turning the dictionary off & on, can be done easily by just holding the * key so that's a way to get around it!

Other than that it's a good phone!
