Advantages: Well laid out, Impressive array of features, Large memory

Disadvantages: Loudspeaker could be louder, Vibrator could be better

I go through phones like there's no tomorrow. They either break, get lost or are not liked by me. I got the 7250i for 2 reasons, A because it seemed a good phone and B it was on ofer for £99. IK got it 9 months ago, and it has served me well.

The various features it includes are:

Colour Camera
Massive phone book (800 names if you tweak the memory correctly)
Multimedia Messaging
Radio
Colour WAP
Good Size
Nokia!

So I ordered it, and said goodbye to my horrible 8310. I am not a small person, and have large fingers. Not the stupidly large size, but enough to make using fiddly phones impossible. When the phone came, I opened the box and thought 'Oh Dear, could see problems here...' I put it together, and without reading the destructions (How easy nokias are to use is something else) had it turened on. I got the phone SIM free, which made a big difference, and the price so much more justifiable. After the cute jingle had played, I was on the main screen. I practiced phoning the hose a few times, and found the buttons surprisingly comfortable. Although the phone is small, the buttons are of a size to make them nice to use. Anyway, I read through the instructions and got the phone working properly (I hate refering back to things, so got it straight off)

The pre-installed ringtones are nice, so havent downloaded any new ones, and I deleted the games, as I loath them, and have lots more memory. It stores endless pictures, I have about 300 on there in medium quality and the memory is only half full!

Anyway, enough about the advantages of this phone, onto the disadvantages, although they are minor

Where I live (Bucks) there is a big mountain right next door, so the radio signal is useless. I expect it will work, however in a flat area like Cambs or Lincs.

The vibrate isn't too powerfull, although I could have worn it out! I can't feel it through my jeans when i walk with my music on loud.

The built in handsfree, whilst fine for the desk and handsfree talking, isnt good in the car. It just isnt loud enough, and the engine drowns it out.

Thats enough of the disadvantages! I love this phone, and the only niggle is that it hasnt got bluetooth, that would have made things a bit easier for various circumstances. The accesories are easy to get for it as well, I got a rubber feel fascia for it on ebay for a penny!! Good quality too.

Overall, a good phone, and as the price is rapidly dropping it is a good buy for the money.
