Review of Nokia 7250 - Triband GSM w/camera

An anonymous reader writes "The new Nokia 7250 is out. Small, very cool looking phone that even has a built-in camera. 3 page review with 6 pages of photos, including a photo gallery of images taken by the 7250 itself - with some human help, of course."

whoa talk about information overload

now we have visual information overload. no time to deciper the meaning of the data. does that make us less knowledgeable?

I dunno....

It doesn't look all that great to me when compared with the SE P800...

The server has already pretty-much melted down, but it's another Nokia phone - all of the cells that I've had in the last few years have been GSM Nokias - they perform pretty decently, are easy to navigate around, but there's nothing ever really revolutionary...

I think my next phone will be the P800 - once the price drops a bit...

Yeah, and my desktop is faster than top-of-the line PDA's, so why would anyone want a PDA? Seriously, you are comparing apples to oranges. 7250 is a phone with a camera. P800 is a phone/PDA-hybrid (like Nokia 9210), and it costs "a bit" more if I'm not mistaken. They are meant for entirely different markets.

Behold, the fruit of desperation.

Can it be anything other than a sign of desperation when tech-gadget companies begin throwing together as many vaguely-related features as possible in the hope that some pocket-sized combination of dissimilar appliances will fire the imagination of the buying public and drive sales for a financial quarter or two? That said, does anyone make a good portable label maker with a built-in PDA?

I dont know why....

A Nokia color phone should get so much mention at slashdot. Samsung S105 [amazon.com] with color screen (65k colors) has been around for sometime, with polyphonic ringtones, java et. al. And Sonyericcson t68i [amazon.com] has bluetooth on top of color screen. Motorola T720i [amazon.com] has all these + a color cam. Put simply - nokia isnt the first with color screen. Nokia isnt the first with java or cam. There are phones with all these features + bluetooth out there (for a long time now). Why mention Nokia on slashdot ?

Standard disclaimer - I am not trolling nor do I work for any cell phone company.

Keys, keys, keys!!

[Wills]

For me, there is only one feature on a phone that really counts: the keys.

The best keypad I've used was on the Nokia 8310/8210 handsets: tough, precise, no wobble, consistent springiness, rectangular keytops.

The Sony Ericsson T65i has a really unpleasant set of wobbly keys, with inconsistently stiff springs. Similarly the latest Nokia handsets all have horrid keys.

Can someone tell my why people want camera phones?

[Uttles]

I just don't understand it. You know what I want? I want a phone that stores numbers, and when I call people it sounds crystal clear and I never get a "signal faded" notice and get cut off. That's it. No more, no less. Make the damn thing work like a phone and make it work well.

Nowadays it's all about how big the screen is and games and camera abilities and bluetooth and all sorts of irrelevant crap. Make the damn phone work so it sounds good when I'm talking to people!!

Besides, I can get a digital camera that will produce nice 6X8 pictures for about $150, so why pay $400 for a phone that has all sorts of bells and whistles, will take small crappy pictures, and sound like crap when I'm talking to someone? I just don't get it.
