Nokia 7250i

This mobile was bought between £50-£100 at the time and one you would get for much less now!

It is your classic mobile phone, not many features.. but ideal if you're just wanting to call and text.

The phone comes in a range of colours and there are a few different covers for it. Mine was blue - but I have also seen it in black and green.

The phone itself has excellent user navigation and it is fast and simple to use.
The number keypad is a bit different from your standard phone but is quick to get the hang of as the buttons are easily pressed.

The phone has a coloured screen so it was a step up from other models released at the time some still being in black and white. The user menu is simple and clean, it's not cluttered making it really easy to get to what you want.

The size of text is ideal making reading text messages and dialling numbers relatively easy. It has quite a few options to customize the phone in terms of display settings.. colour themes and the way the menu is viewed.

There is a radio you can listen to with the use of your handset.
The camera was satisfactory at the time but not one you would really use now as the quality is not great and quite pixelated - but there are quite a few different features such as portrait mode, standard camera, self timer and night mode.
Viewing photos has to be done individually though rather than going to the next available photo so it can be slow at times. This is the same with loading text messages etc, there is a two second delay but overall it is a great phone.

The organiser includes an alarm clock, calendar and to do list - all which are useful and simple to use.

There is only one game on the phone - surprisingly there is no snake which was quite common on nokia phones. The game on here is called bounce where you have to control a ball and get to the end of the level by jumping through several things and avoiding spikes etc.

The connectivity options are infra red or gprs - there is no bluetooth.
There is also the usual extras of a calculator and stop watch.

Overall I found it to be a great phone... sure it's not as good as newer models and is not one i'd really go back to.. but using it as just a phone and text messages which was all you really needed and required a few years back, then it was ideal.
It's robust and would not easily break and is of good quality as it still works after all these years without any problems.

The battery time is also excellent and it will last days without needing to be charged.
I give it 4/5 stars. It loses a star in terms of lack of features compared to other phones e.g. only one game - but it's still a good phone for its time. It just can't compete with the newer models.

Thanks for reading.
