Advantages: Classy, Durable, Battery time

Disadvantages: Camera

It's been 10 months now, my dear Nokia 7250i. I first saw you about a year ago when my friend took it out and it was the first time I saw a colour screen mobile. Boy were you gorgeous. You were too expensive for me then, and I could only look at you in awe and lust.

In the month of September 2003 I needed a new phone. Having thought of you for the past 3 months I knew I had to have you. Went into the shop, got you for FREE under an o2 tariff. A happy man was I at that time.

Brought you home. Played around with you.. and here's where the facts come in:

Disadvantages:
--------------------
1. Boy were you boring. You came with 2 games installed, one called bounce which was meaningless and not entertaining at all, another was the Triple Pop which was quite colourful, but BORING. Conclusion --> you need more games, I know games can be downloaded, but lets face it, how many of us actually could be asked to spend more money on games for a mobile.

2. You claim to be able to take pictures? Boy most of the time I can't even tell who the face in the picture is. The resolution is so poor that compared to my Nikon SQ.. it's.. well forget Nikon SQ.. compared to Nokia 6600 you stand no where! You even claim to have a new function, the zoom function which prior to this you sibbling the Nokia 7250 didn't have. Well you can zoom all you want but it's hopeless. The zoom works AFTER you take the picture, not before! Why do I need to zoom after taking the picture? You're funny, hopeless, but funny. The worst part is, you can't even be transfered on to the computer with the infared feature set on you because the infared feature is only meant for transfering business cards! Man you were dissapointing as a camera phone. Omit the camera for crying out loud!

Advantages:
---------------
1. I liked you nonetheless cause you looked cool. You had a metalic blue casing and the casing is one of the best I&
#39;ve seen because the paint doesn't come off like the previous nokia phones. I put you in my pocket everyday for 9 months and you still look brand new, compared to my ex lover, the Nokia 8210 which was so weak there were scratch marks all over after 1 day being in my pocket. Also you had a nice colour screen which I could insert any picture I want.

2. Memory wise you had loads. I could receive tons of messages without having ever to delete them except once in like 2 months or so. 4MB of memory, not a lot for a computer, but sufficient for a handphone.

3. Hands free was a great invention. I spoke with you, my Nokia 7250i for hours without even having to touch you. Now if that was with my wife during those cold nights, that would have been not nice at all, but with you, now I can use my hands for other things, like writing this review while speaking to you!

4. Radio and you together is such a blessing. Sometimes I used you, sometimes I used the radio, but it never affected your performance. Only set back is I keep forgetting to bring out my headsets which is a compulsory tool for the radio to work. Nonetheless I shouldn't complain, because it has kept me company for many lonely bus rides and walks home.

5. You are small and light, easy to carry around, yet not too tiny that you can hide from me. You are easily held in my palms and I feel so comfortable using you, dialing you, typing messages on you, talking and listening to you.

6. Your fonts can be set to small, medium or large which is fantastic! I like small text, because this means I can read more of you on one screen and need to scroll less often!

---------------------------------------------- -------------------
Other features which you include the normal:
- Inbox, Sent messages storage, Draft, Multimedia messages (enable sending pictures to other ppl and vice versa), chat and voice messages

- Call register, the normal features of Di
alled numbers, received numbers, miss calls, call cost

- Contact book

- Profiles ( single click to a silent phone, vibrating phone, a phone when you're in bed... so on)

- Gallery to store and organise you pictures

- Organiser which includes a calander, alarm clock, to do list and reminder.

- Extras which has a calculator, countdown timer, wallet, stop watch and synchronisation

- WAP facilities

- dual band

All in all, I think you're quite a good and easy to use phone, only real problem with you is your camera feature. So I hope anyone who wants you would genuinely want you, and not the camera in you... you've served me well, my dear Nokia 7250i

Note: don't know if anyone has written a review like this before, but honestly i came up with this myself! *proud to announce* Hope it's good! :D
