Is the Nokia 7250i any good?

[Charlie22]

I've seen the Nokia 7250i on Orange 200 or 300 for free with these guys www.clubmobile.co.uk is it a good phone?

How does it differ from the 7250? It says it has a night camera is that all?

Does anyone have any experience of this website - are they OK?

Is this the best deal available? I can't find a cheaper one.

Cheers for your help

the differences between the 7250 and 7250i are minimal, but useful. The i version has picture phonebook (meaning you can assign a picture to a caller in your phone book, so when they call you can literally see who's calling), an improved camera with night-mode (supposedly helps in the dark) and effects that can be added to pictures, and mainly larger memory for pictures, ringtones, Java games/applications and whatever else you save to the phone.

However, if i'm being honest, you can do alot better than the 7250i for less money. The Sony Ericsson T610 should be available for free on Orange on some of their tariff's in the high-street, and it is a far better phone in terms of performance.
A breif comparison:

Colours on screen:-
7250i: 4096
T610: over 65,000

Ringtones:-
7250i: 4-tone polyphonic
T610: 32-tone polyphonic

Connectivity:-
7250i: Infrared, cable (neither of which are particulary usefull other than uploading ringtones/pictures to the phone, and in some cases, getting photo's off the phone and onto your PC)
T610: Infrared, Bluetooth (both of which connect far easier and with more funcionality)


If however, your like a friend of mine who's about to buy a 7250i and you much prefer the look of the 7250i compared to the T610, then fine, go for that. But be warned, the T610 is a far better phone and although the 7250i is not without it's features, it's still in a different league to the T610.
