Advantages: Nice design, light, small, camera, colour Disadvantages: Mine developed a fault
The Nokia 3200 is a phone that I have owned for about 5 months now. It is a phone that defines cool in my opinion. Its design allows it to be very personal and this is principally what attracted me to it. I received this phone in February as an upgrade on my old phone because I have a contract with O2’s online service. This of course like most others allows for an upgrade at the end of each 12 months, so I chose this one due to its unique look and ... ...fact the covers on the Nokia 3200 are clear. The colour that you can see on the picture above is provided via interchangeable covers that lie beneath the actual plastic case. These are pretty cool and with the phone you receive 3 different colours: blue, red and green. Furthermore, on each phone, to match the cover there is a wallpaper and Ringtone that suits each. For example, the blue case has a blue wallpaper, which consists of the same design ...

Advantages: Camera, colour screen, torch Disadvantages: Unable to change case. Doesn't have many games
I got a Nokia 3200 back in October 2003 when they were first out. My first thought was: Where are all the buttons?! Until it was pointed out to me that each button has two numbers on it to make the phone look different.
The 3200 is not that smallest phone on the market, I would say it is a practical size, it wouldn't be easy to lose but its not a big Dom Jolly fellow either!! It has a clear plastic cover in which you can insert different "slides" ... ...because it is not easily replaced when scratched. It may also be looked at as an advantage though as you can change the look of your phone regularly. It comes with 3 ready made slides and a bag of blank ones for you to design as you wish. You will also find coordinating screensavers saved in the phone to match the slides provided. I'll just run through the menu options to give you an idea of the phone.
Messaging: The phone can be used for sms and ...

Nokia 3200
This phone I believe was created for younger mobile users with its new, funky design and bright colours. The ability to cut out your own covers, personalisation is very easy, and this all adds up to a phone suited to the ‘teen’ market. I have split the review up into different areas of the phone. Starting with the screen.
~Screen~
The screen has 4096 colours over 128 by 128 pixels; it allows 5 lines of font. This is adequate enough; ... ...justify the screen on the Nokia 3200 and it does its job well.
~keypad~
The keypad has been completely re-designed, but I wouldn’t say revolutionised, as I don’t think it will catch on with other phones, but will show designers that different styles of key pad are acceptable. Where as before, or normally, you would have one button for each number, we now find ourselves with 2 numbers being used on one button. The buttons include the numbers one ...

Advantages: Original Ideas Disadvantages: Does'nt Have A Stopwatch Or Wallet
...pretty much everything that the Nokia 7250i does, with the exception that you can make your own cut-out covers on this and it has a nice little built in flashlight at the bottom.
The new innovative cut-out covers can be made from any source, like your favorite footy player from a magazine, or newspaper cuttings. You can even print off the internet and create one from that. The built in camera isn't brilliant as far as resolution goes (CIF 352x288) ... ...infrared, so you can download nokia pc suite from their website, and easily download pictures onto your computer at the click of a button, and you can also create your own polyphonic ringtones to be put on your phone, via the pc and the infrared port.

...tickle my fancy. The Nokia 3200 really stood out to me, it was really different from any other phone that i or any of my friends/family have had, i really prefer a Nokia make of phone AND it had a camera! I asked the man in the shop for his personal option, he told me that the features where good but the camera wasnt the best quailty (I admired his honesty!) With a price tag of 149 pounds i thought i would treat meself!
The cover i got on the phone ... ...It isnt like any other nokia covers though that you just change the whole case, the the nokia 3200 is clear/see and it is a little slip of plastic with a design on it that slids between the cover and the phone that you change. I thought this was quite smart and again different to go with the phone. As i read through my manuals i realised that i could also send away via the o2 website and get a free cutter sent to me. This is so i can make my own ...

Torch

The coolest thing about this phone has to be the fact that you can make your own covers! The case is made out of clear plastic, both the front and back. All you have to do is find a photo or some ... ...shape using the special cutter! Alternatively you could make a template by drawing around one of the 3 manufactured hologram covers, although this would obviously take a lot more time and patience.
Once it's made, snap off the plastic hardcovers and place the paper cut out inside. I will admit however that the back cover can be irritating to remove as the button provided can take a bit of an effort to push up.
A problem with the hardcover is that ...

Advantages: Great Features Disadvantages: None that i can think of!
I brought my Nokia 3200 around Easter time, and I think that it is a great phone to have. I have seen many people in my school with the phone, because it is very reasonably priced for a camera phone. The great thing about this phone is the fact that you don’t have to spend £5 - £10 on phone covers, because you can make your cover personally, by either drawing it or simply printing out a picture and cutting it out. (Don’t worry; you get a little cutter ... ...two greatest features of the Nokia 3200 is the fact that it has both a built in FM radio, and a built in camera. First, lets start with the FM radio. It is playable through your hands free kit, and has a great reception in even the poorest of areas. The volume control on the phone is great because even at the loudest the radio still sounds clear. You can also play the radio on loudspeaker, although you still need to have the hands free kit plugged ...

I worked in the mobile phone industry for years, and in that time i just had to have the newest phones on the market - i didn't want the customers to be having better phones than me now, did i?

I had an old 6310i for a while, and regardless of its age, its size, or anything else people might have to say, it suited me fine and i wasn't looking to make a change anytime soon. It did everything i wanted it too and it did it well. Then it broke (RIP little fella, you served me well) and i decided to get a phone that would fit in my littlest handbag on a night out, so instead of buying a whole new range of handbags (although that was ...

Screen - The screen of the phone itself is colour and you can download colour wallpapers for your background or there are some already stored on the phone which you can choose from, these are in the Gallery Option under graphics. To download a different wallpaper it will cost on average £1.50.

I received my Nokia 3200 as an upgrade from Singlepoint (at Phones4U). I tend to stick to Nokia phones as they are easier to use and I know them. I couldn't wait to finally have a phone with a camera! Well I have to say I was somewhat disappointed with the quality of the pictures it took and the difficulty in focusing them. Trying to get my baby granddaughter to smile is one thing, getting her in focus and smiling at the same time.......The screen ... ...wish, as on some other Nokia phones. You can also assign a picture to each person from the Gallery! The case is clear plastic which scratches easily. It has 3 different sets of card inserts to give it some colour and a nifty little gadget to cut your own out. I have managed to find a market stall that does different colour clear plastic cases, but they're not so easily accessible as other models.
The size is nifty and compact, which I like as it ...

I have owned a Nokia 3200 for over a year now, after I got it free when I started a new contract with vodafone. I knew nothing about the phone when I got it apart from it having a camera – which was a novelty, as my old one didn’t have one!!
The first thing I noticed about this phone was how it looks, because it has see through plastic covers, which have colourful covers underneath that can easily be changed. This is really cool, as with the phone ... ...you also receive blank covers, so you can make your own covers with pictures that take – this was something that I always meant to do, to make my phone more personalised and unique, but I must admit that I haven’t got around to doing it yet and still have the blue cover on, so I’m afraid I can’t advise on how to do this. There are lots of different wallpapers that you can have on your phone too, so you can keep changing its look. Also, you can change ...

The eleven ringtones on the phone are plenty for me, and with the huge range available to download now there seems little point in Nokia supplying more on the phone.
