Nokia 3250 - User Reviews

  • I buy second hand N3250 it gives me full satisfaction.

  • Every time a watch these Symbian OS phones i get into strange nostalgia with so decent times with no FB, no Whatsapp only SMS text messages and ebuddy messenger, moreover so simple phones with no time waste

  • Headphone jacks in 2018 in phones are very rare.

  • Headphone jacks in 2005 in phones were very rare.

  • Nokia 3250

  • 2016 ...2mp better then 21 mp???

  • I always liked this phone and nokia 5700 but could not afford to buy it when it was released. But now i have bought this and nokia 5700 second hand on ebay,both of the phone's housing were bad…so i stumble upon both original housing also on ebay for $80 and go for it. and once i install the housing i feel wow! that would be what i feel back then just like buying new phone! and pretty happy with it.

  • This phone is the best choice to use in daily life due to following reason. 1,. Durability 2. Battery performance. 3. Camera 2MP is better than 5 MP of other smart phone 4, Sound quality is also better. Over all This phone is sustainable ..... I have bought two pieces but both are damaged because of broken screen and there is no service center to repair them.. These were my first phone and I kept them in my box for memorise them.. Thank You, Nokia

  • this is my first choise phone. but i am very sad bcz i dont buy this phone that time. now i am stand but now this phone out of market.

  • reflecting the good old days when i was a proud owner of this most stylish and amazing piece. the most admiring part is when you twist it to 90 degree that turns into an eye catching camera that most people get attracted to it. and again twist it to 180 degree that turns into unbelievable music system and the sound of music is inexpressibly your home theater..loved this phone to bit still wish to have one. i wish this phone come back with enhanced OS and improvised specifications.

  • Good Ol" days when nokia used to wow the world with their awesome phone designs, can never stop loving this phone,best stylish phone I ever had.

  • this was awesome phone, Nokia should put a touch screen to it and re launch it! 4 in display, rotating pure view camera, WP8, would be awesome!

  • very nice phone and if it can b upgraded,the best.

  • Twist the bottom sideways then turn it upside down, underneath the call key is a small flap for micro SD

  • where we can put the micro sd on nokia 3250 please?

  • i think the comparison of nokia 3250 is nokia n91. both audio sound amazing. nokia 3250 rockz

  • I regard this phone as a prophecy, produced even before its technical specificities were met by so many countries it was meant for. To say the least, the phone is just good. I love it. I used it so many years ago before the advent of so many modernised nokias but today, i still find myself drifting back to it. Pls nokia, we need an upgraded version of the phone

  • True, but though the n91 is the king of audio music, then its 3250. I choosed 3250 its so cool and unique design, 2mp camera is ok for a cellphone, symbian os. 2gb memcard is ok. I will never sell my 3250. Its rare nowdays. Just Nokia please Re-Continue this cellphone with new features.

  • i lov d phone cos of d sound quality smartnes nd also d browsin speed jst dat d b3 is nt vry relaibl as oda features bt i recomd it if u wnt gud sound alon i thnk i lov it mor dan anyoda phon 4d nw

  • I've never acquired this 4ne, but i've profound love 4 it. I love everything abt this 4ne. De camera strength, autoflash, sound system, and above all, its unique twist design. Pliz nokia, upgrade dis 4ne for us, b4 i acquire one. LOL!!!!!!!!

  • after using this phone about 6 years ago i just get a new mobile today, but my old 3250 was the best mobile and i think it has the best high sound quality ever .. i will keep it with me forever

  • i really like the design of the nokia 3250 and Symbian OS. and my dream about this phone: 5mp, flash and autofocus. plus 3g and wifi. and i like the sound audio of the 3250. though its de next of n91. but i like 3250 design unique and simple, plus music setting equaliser, balance, reverb, stereo widening, and bass boost. the awesome nokia 3250

  • really Nokia 3050 was great phone i can't forget it i am really interested to buy it once more, just nokia need to upgrade it , really its a request , love nokia

  • I want to thank Nokia. This phone is very close to my heart I had this when I was very young studying in high school and I was in love with a girl and we both used to listen music on this ph for hrs we used spend lot of quality time with this ph.Now have HTC one x but no comparison with this 3052. Amezing camera with Amezing music quality. Love you a lot !!

  • It is been one of the best handsets i have used.

  • I bought this phone in 2006, use it until now and really like its twisted camera,so unique can't find it on other phone..if only Nokia just upgrade the features such new 8MP and 3G&wifi along with its O.S&RAM to support current modern lifestyle mobile usage now days,then it will be better..

  • my best phone, this phone already updated to the newest version of firmware V 04.60 14-09-07 RM-38

  • I bought this phone in 2008 and to be honest it is one of the best handset I have ever used.Even as am writing this comments it is in a very perfect conditions.Exceptional work from nokia.The only problem is that most of the current productive softwares cant be installed on it.However,its sound and vidoe qualities are second to none.

  • Nokia 3250 old is gold... Realy great phone... Good quality hardwares. Iam this one year ago.. Only internet usage(continousily one year).... One month 2gb 2*12=22gb downloading capacity super with uc browser... email: [email protected]

  • i have this nokia from 2007-present it still workss ...i spent all my money to buy this awesome phone pheww.. it is the greatest hp i ever had... good sound quality

  • Take phones settings and open phone settings and open phone update. Then select downlaod software

  • Infact i 4got my unlock code?what is original code of 3250

  • what is manila?

  • I'm a telephone mobile handler and i have it this phone 4 years ago, my brother also, my friends also. Was the best and still it's the best type of xpres music mobile. Last week i buy it a new one from the internet. New from factory, never used and i could say that still it's satisfying me. Why? Well i have it iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4, Nokia- Xpress Music- almost all of them and other types of T-mobile's but this Nokia- 3250 it's the best one. Has a twist on camera so you can make photo to people and to you without trying several times. Music, a normal 1Gb it's ok.. you can't listen in 16GB all the songs in a day :)), believe me. Battery it's ok, the thing that i don't like it's: commercializing ( that it's stopped and some shops in the internet has some but not all of them) and the 3,5 mm. If it was the straight 3,5 mm, we wouldn't were supposed to use the adapter and than the headphones with the jack in and out.. in rest it's ok :). I buy it for 120 Euro and i can say that it's worthily :)

  • i use this once..best sound ever.. twist to music n camera totaly amazing..

  • Had this phone for nearly 4 years & can't fault it but how do you replace the joystick when it falls out when dropped on floor? Built like a brick but performs with flying colours. Come on, Nokia - remake this model

  • Mine got missing how do i get one.

  • I had it the phone almost 3 times.. in 2 years. It's The best ''Xpress Music'' than all Xpress Music from 2010-2011, plus a half phone with a good camera.. but some users and that includes me, dissapointed, cause it could it be much more.. around 5 mpx.. it was awesome..if it was. Btw for a guy that likes music.. 3250 is the best for him, because it has a louder speaker, battery good.. around 2-3 days.. Funky flip-flap mp3- phone that it would be better to make some phones like 3250.

  • I am Njiru from kenya-Embu and a fun of Nokia 3250.I had used it for three years but was stolen by crooks in 2008. Todate, i have never come across any other phone which entices me like the 3250. Efforts to get a new from the markets have proved naive.Kindly i beg to be told whether the brand is still in the market or out of stock.

  • Truly a masterpiece from Nokia. This is what we call Man Made Marvel! Amazing sound, still stands the loudest fone from Nokia. I remember when I bought it 4 or 5 years back, ppl stopped me from buying this.. but I went for it and found those same ppl craving for this fone after sometime.. I miss this fone vry much as its dead now, except speakers, everything seems to be stopped working now. I love it... and it was extremely a sad moment to see it dying.. so spent a much and ran thru service centres and it was worth doing so... I wonder if we can still get the same fone again.. I wanna buy it once again. If any1 has any idea where I can get this in India, pls share

  • I've had this phone since 2006 and am still using it and wht i love most abt it is its sound and picture quality and am glad i made a good investment by buying it!

Eject it first unless it'll be corrupted. Press the power button and chose Remove Memory Card. You're good to go.

I have this for about 1 year. No historical damages yet. More advanced than the said nokia 3250.

  • hey jeff the problem is that your phone has a terrible virus, so check it.

  • Nope. I used Nokia 3250 for 2 years (and more to go). Sending message takes me a few seconds (with Nokia 3250). So brother, I think it's your operator's/network's problem. Mine's working well at all times, except there's no 3.5mm audio jack =(.

  • The phone is about 10,000 to 15,000 Pesos.

  • I have own this phone for two years and I am going to list the pros and cons of this phone: Pros: 1)The body of this phone is metal and it is durable(However, the plastic on the top and bottom is slightly loose) 2)Great battery life 3)This phone can run software with minor lag 4)Loud and good sound quality Cons: 1)Low resolution display 2)The paint on the joystick will come off 3)Bulky 4)No 3.5mm audio jack 5)The back cover of the phone is glossy which means it will be scratched easily

  • LOL i hate this phone.. when u send out msg it takes 1 minute to send!!! its so slow..!!!

  • this mobile is look like a truck.donot buy this mobile.

  • I had this phone last year. It didn't last. Software related problems started to show just 6 months of usage ( I buy brand new phones only). I bought this soon after i gave my w550i to my brother, maybe because it's swivel design is really cool, sound quality is nice, but too bad it doesn't support A2DP ( which just became famous add on later). but yeah, after 8 months of frustration & bringing it to the Nokia store most of the time, I decided to sell it & switch back to SE instead.

  • i've been using NOKIA3250 for more than 1year. its sound quality is awesome. bt got one problem. its screen blinks every 8seconds. i tried every possible software restoration but no use. wht 2 do? is that problem of the rotation mechanism i.e. hardware...

  • I want some free software but i can't get it.coz it is not available like other set.plz give me tips.

  • @anand, sad to know the cond of your phone. Im also facing display problems at my 3250 from march08,went to nokia care,and after 2 weeks they returned the phone as unrepairable. Then i moved to local market ,got a new display and now,everything just allright:). but bro,your problem is at motherboard,and if you buy a new motherboard,all the problems will be fixed. At my country Bangladesh it costs about 12000tk, if u wana fix the problem,again go to nokia care,ask them directly about your motherboard and can they replace it with new one? thank u # N. H.

  • I was very happy using Nokia 3250 until it got damaged. I used it about 1.5 years..i bought it for 16,000 INR(indian ruppes)..around 350$. It was send to Nokia care..and got it back stated that unrepairable. Something happend with intel chipset. The problem with thehandset is that it is not detecting networks. All other functionalities work except the network features. Do anyone know how to sent it to Nokia?

After ugrading it's firmware and getting the sms accelerator form Nokia the phone became unstoppable. The music palybakc has never let me down and it still maintain it's superir sound quality to date. Hight recommend for any one in a budget but still wants an excllent music player.

  • I have had this phone for 2 yrs and I really like it even though it kinda big for girl to use it. The most thing I like about it is the speaker phone is loud and it can be twist to switch to either camera or music.

  • I bought this phone in the Philippines like 2 years ago. It worked really well. Suddenly, when AT&T expanded their network, the phone stopped searching for network coverage. Knowing that it's a tri-band phone, I'm not pretty sure why the phone doesn't want to search for coverage signals anymore. I never dropped nor did anything that might think the chips inside got messed up.. My question is, Is there any option in the phone that might cause this problem? I'm not sure if I accidentally did something for the phone not to work in the States anymore. I called Nokia and At&T and they said that it might be a result of the expansion on the network of the servive provider, which the phone might not be compatible with. If anyone knows more about this phone, please post a reply message. Thanks.

  • Im planning to buy this phone i was wondering what problems does it have

  • i bought it 2nd hand for less than $100 its good sound quality good cam good and shorcut good, need to update software though

  • i had this phone for a year almost..its the most amazing phone i have ever had even though it took it 5 minutes exactly 2 send a message!!!i dont know if only my phone had this problem but other than that it was great!!

  • hi i have nokia 3250 in that my lifeblogfile is expaird how can u help me & wat i should i do plz mail me to [email protected] thanking you

  • will be grateful if someone tells me why my fon jus switches off when the simcard is in, any simcard!

  • I got a prob with my phone guys, hope you can help. Whenever I put the simcard, the phone switches off by itself! The only thing I can think of is that its a virus, but how do I get rid of it, if its the cause. Working offline it does not switch off automatically, no! I love my phone, I bought in 2005, and never experienced this problem! Please anybody out there with any idea?

  • Hi, I bought this phone in the Philippines for about $400+ thinking that it would be my dream phone. I like the design that is actually unique, it's availability in different colors, the 2nd half part of the phone which is handy for taking pictures, and most of all its mp3 player which rocks (the camera and video still works perfectly even if the phone is useless for communication now).It was good until one year when I dropped it and the small crack gradually became bigger and bigger, until one day the case fell off one by one! I think it's because of the design itself (plastic and metal) that made it insanely fragile. First the outer covers came off, then the keypad, then some other parts in the back. Now it just looks plainly awful. Though it still is mainly my fault, I don't believe in products that are stupidly fragile. I wish I thought about it more before blowing my cash. Anyway, as I said, the camera, video and mp3 are amazing on this phone. The text messaging and calling features are premium too. It's just not durable. Believe me, if you are accident prone Nokia 3250 is not for you.

  • i install n-gage on my 3250 now im happy with it:D symbian never gets old you have always chance to get something new;)

  • 3250 is a very nice phone,a little mistake is just the shape ^^ unluckily,it's not 3G ready too,but,this phone pretty odd!!do u know?some s60v2 apps can installed on this s60v3 phone . . however that's a nice odd thing =P fortunately,it has an equalizer to give a good perform sound with bass boost and stereo widening, well,i think this phone could be a 2nd rival of N70 xD

  • great sound but very low speed and the steel design is not comptable with the plastic ones because when the mobile falls down the mobile componets get broken because of the hard chissee

  • This phone realy rocking

  • Its a great mobile for use one should buy it it has amazing speed,sound and of course cheap price

  • iuse ti have this phone...it was the best one i bought this for almost P20,000.00...youwill love the mp3of this phone!!must buy phone!

  • no good camera my phone

  • i have Problem wid my Handfree port , My hand Free not Giving Equal Sound on Both Ear phone's

  • Hello all, im no more a 3250 user as it fell from my hand at march and then went to nokia service center and they returned the phone and couldnt fix the display problem. The diplay automatically sometimes become normal but for a little time only and then again become purely white though call can be received at that time. Now i use my 3250 only as modem for my pc. :-) now i have bought a simple nokia phone for my day to day use n3110c. Good for telephoney, edge useage and music. But worst part is the cam,simply foul. What ever, i was happy with my 3250 except its cam,which was not upto the mark specially for indoor photo.and its night mood was just bad. Still now i miss my 6600,realy served me. Hope i will switch to any new phone next year which may be n73, se k790, n95 or my most fav n82. Thank you. # N. H. Sarja #

  • really very gd mobile ...the only cons. is the joy stick..it was broken and mend it and broken again...thrn i sold it...but its excellent mobile.....needs good handle only....

  • Hi guys could you please enlight,how long does it takes for the handset to be affected by the so-called "SOFTWARE PROBLEM" because i had this phone for a month and suddenly got that problem.

  • why you should choose n78 over n82? n78 is more music-focused than n82. n78 has better sound quality, and of course, has fm transmitter. n78 also has the latest os version which is so much better than previous version. it's now a lot more fun to browse and explore all the menus. also n78 has better battery life. on the other hand, n82 is more focused on camera.

  • i tried to put a duplicate boby but the keypad doesnt fit. can u plz.say how to fit it. thanx.

  • Weird. I wanted to check out, maybe there is newer firmware than v04.14 which I installed more than a year ago and now Nokia.com claims that the newest firmware is v03.24 - how it can be? By the way - I looked for upgrade, coz I installed TomTom 6 on the phone, but it crasshes when I choose Voice, anyone has any solutions?

  • u can download the themes & other stuff in mobile9.com

  • flywurx stop being an idiot. Even when the card is formatted, you can save the data. Look on google for data recovery software.

  • Hi I currently have nokia 6300, but i dun like it cuz of its sound and battery usage. can ya temme whether i should stick to this cell or move to NOKIA 3250??

  • @Elsy you're a dimwit... theres nothing you can do to bring back the lost data... go back to square one and re-install all the programs you lost... and take meals with iodized salt...

  • two downfalls of this phone: the weight/size. and slow actions (maybe an operating system thing? I don't know, it was the first phone I had w/ that) Everything else was great! But I sold it after three months - mainly because of its size.

  • Can anyone help? :'( I fomatted da memory card that came wit da fone.. I forgot to make a back-up! :'( What should I do!? I lost music gallery, pre loaded themes, and foto editing stuff!!!!!!!!! Plz help!!!!!!

  • you can get anything like ringtones, themes, games and movies from a website called "zedge".

  • firmware upgrade wil cost u P560. as for d possible replacement of ur gurl's pop port, i asked a nokia care rep, she told me dat actual unit wd d problem should be diagnosed first, then dey can quote on how much bucks u need for d part n labor.. (probably d pop port needs to be cleaned, can be juz loose or somethin.. dat's y..) btw, viperkid = pinoy na taga cubao mabuhay =)

  • OHHH.? its a nice multimedia device great sound and realy a value 4 money phone GUYS HELP ME OUT i hv this fone with me 4 last 2yrs but still i dont hv any themes or applic. tell me 4rm where i could found themes and applic 4 this to give a trendy look.

  • ..continuation if i may add, u get a certificate error if a particular symbian installation file (such as games, apps, themes(?) wd d extensions .sisx, .sis) r not symbian signed (to be specific, not Certified Signed by Symbian's accredited n indie testing test houses), in other words, d file u r trying to install has not been inspected, tested by d above mentioned responsible to meet d minimum rqmnts for a trouble free app/game/theme for d aforesaid OS

  • try adjusting d date on ur 3250 first (to 1 year earlier, e.g. f u intend to install smartmovie now whilst im writing dis msg. in dat case, u must set d date to 05 Jun 2007) then retry installing.. gud luck those things occur bcoz 3250 s under d new (well actually, not so new [N73, N91, N80 also has it]) symbian version, 9.1 which has d new kernel n SW architecture for better security, compatibility wd new hardware processors etc., interoperability, et al (contrary, has its disadvantages, like wen it was first released, there r virtually few apps/games/themes available for dis new type of Symbian OS version [but r now not an issue anymore, coz most of d previous apps/games/themes were ported n besides new ones r already created for it). also, as u myt hav guessed too, dis not so new Symbian OS, likewise is responsible for d certificate error u r getting (d OS s juz protecting itself for possible harms dat an installation file myt cause, hence d error) hop dis helps =)

  • i hv 3250 4 lst 2 yrs but still i hv only nokia pre loded themes can any body tell me 4rm where i got t themes and app 4 this fone

  • d newer 3250 version (a.k.a. 3250XM) is juz a marketing strategy from nokia. actually, d first released 3250 in black, green, purple, silver r also called 3250XM, nokia juz wanted to somehow revive d scene of announcing/havin XM branding then. differences r: -new color (white-red) -1GB inbox microSD (both supports up to 2GB) -preloaded with yahoo go, nokia sensor n other apps/games -1 or 2 new preloaded UI theme -headset dat comes with it is d same HS-20 (painted in white only) with AD-41 (3.5mm adapter jack) -different system font used hardware and software compatibility wise, they are the same =) btw, u n N.H.Sarja r usin one n d same IP address?! nice job on ur wordpress blog

  • me too! i've been using a sandisk 2GB microSD wd my 3250 for over a year now and so far, it never been a cause of any problem. in fact, i've got almost 900 full music tracks, 20 themes, more than 300 photos in 2mpx resolution, around 30 games/apps, almost 200 videos in 176 x 144 resolution on my 20mb free spaced 2GB microSD (dat s y m planning to get 5320XM or N78 pretty soon as these models support microSDHC, hello 32GB microSD) =) though my 3250 slowed down around 3-5 seconds more wen a 2GB card is almost consumed vs a filled 512mb card, but dat's only true in accessing files saved in mem card. other operations, remained almost n d same level of speed as if i wer usin a 512mb card only. my firmware is V04.14

  • great phone! have it for more than 2 years and still using it. very versatile. camera captures clearly and instantaneously(unlike the new 5 megapixel cam i bought, ud have to wait for a second or so.) good sound quality - clear and crisp. battery life is good. normal wear occurs and you'd have to replace the joystick after 2 years i guess. try clearing up memory space if it hangs. suggested memory to fill is around 800MB only.

  • What's the latest firmware? Because i tried the nokia site and they told me V3.24....

  • thanks viperkid :)

  • jhun: punta ka sa marami pang 3250 jan =) extraextra: download SMS accelerator on ur PC and transfer it to ur 3250 to solve ur problem. go here: superproxy: try mo humiram ng ibang AD-41 adapter and test it on ur 3250. if problem persists, ur pop port needs to be repaired or replaced. max memory capacity is 2GB (whether u hav d xpressmusic version or d first release black version). differences are: preloaded themes, nokia sensor and other software stuff. hardware and software compatibility wise, they are the same =) maruxan: 3250 is better, dat is if 3G and its services r not essential to u and u can accept a tad inferior camera and video recording.. other features such as OS, speed, music, goes to 3250

  • To Viperkid and everyone: I am not sure if my problem is on the phone's port or on the headset itself but i think it's more on the port. Because in order for me to listen to my mp3s, i should have tighten the headset's connection to the port to produce sound which is very pathetic and inconvenient. and i cannot listen to fm radio at all. im not sure if the port's already got loosened..."maluwag na po ata"...and now i cannot enjoy listening to music using my phone anymore. hope you could help me. by the way, im using Nokia Music Headset HS-20, AD-41. and also i would like to confirm the maximum capacity of memory card it can handle. also what is the relative difference of 3250 XPressMusic to just 3250? thank you very much! :)

  • now i just using this phone as radio.. K530i is the best!!!!!

  • please help. i have an N70. u is the best???? N70 or 3250.

  • hey buddies this is the first phone i had,its amazing the output is loud and clear .................. but i had lost my 3250 and the nokia has stopped production of this phone so is 5610 having the same output as this............

  • well, one of the best screens by nokia. and a good phone too. i use it to connect to the internet using gprs. the only drawbacks i see is the poor camera, compared to the n70 which is also 2.0 megapixels. don't know why the quality has changed eventough both phones are said to have the same image depth. the music player is good. i had an issue with the memory card, but manage to solve it by formatting through linux. however, the signal ic is doubtful in both 3250 and n70 as both phones seem to have signal ics that wear off completely over time.

  • i have a nokia 3250. i want to use it to my pc as a webcam. what is the procedure plz.

  • this is one of the best phones i have ever owned!!!! music is first class! the only thing if it is used as a modem it tends to freeze

  • my freind have one its good stylish but they say it will be broken fast and the sound is lower then n73 and 5700 but i say its good as a mnsic player .faris ahmed

  • This is zain frm pakistan, this phone is just superb, it takes alot of attention of people, the sound quality is superb then W and N series you can read it in mobile-review of Nokia 5700, its cam is better! overall great phone to showoff!

  • men! my credits to the makers! this phone really encompasses every single thing I ever wanted in a phone...I've used sony ericsson W800,w880 ,nokia communicator series phones and nokia engage QD. but this beats 'em all. it's really "2pacious"

  • I have this phone for like a year and two months now and WOWOW cool device... i got because of the music express which works great... but can anyone tell me why does the phone freezes when your trying to send out a text message? it sucks because i can't get any call or can't even use the phone while its sending the text????

  • rocks!!! its pretty faster than the 'N' series pack coz of its arm processor n the apps open at a brisk rate The music output is superb better than the walkman series pretty gud cam but lacks flash which is disappointing anyhow i luv my phone it really is a darling

  • i love my 3250 although im thinking that i need to send it for an upgrade because my music player always sems to stop unexpectedly

  • Hello guys, The problem is the Nokia corporate itself. This company does not put all the good options in one phone. It always makes every version has some option missing. Also, if one of nokia models is successful in the market, it stops producing it so that it can sell the other versions no matter what the customer is satisfied or not. That is the policy of the Nokia corporate and to make sure, get a complete catalogue and start making comparisons. Sameh El Ban'na Egypt, Cairo

  • its a good fone,good sound production but any time i twist my fone,d screen goes blank no comes on afta somtime.joy stick a major problem

  • M{gP (no name): V4.14 doesn't hav EU volume restrictions yet (i hav dat firmware installed). not sure about V4.40 (released 1 Jun 2007).. Muhammad Arif and narendra: upgrade ur firmware by downloading PC Suite and NSU (Nokia Software updater) here: u may check ur firmware by clicking: be sure to make a backup of all ur images, videos, music, contacts, calendar notes, and other stuff on ur phone using 'backup' utility found on PC suite before updating ur phone's firmware so u can juz easily restore contents afterwards. also, a DSL or broadband internet connection is recommended in upgrading ur firmware as the file is around 60+mb. if u hav 384kbps connection, it wil take u approx 45 mins. but if u hav a dial-up connection, it will take u a long 7-10 hours! pls take note of d minimum pc requirements in using NSU too dude to avoid unncessary downloads.. hope this helps. good luck =) zeeshaan: der should b a certain button on ur BH-207 dat needs to be pressed and held for 2 seconds before ur 3250 can detect it templarius: install SMS accelerator. get it here:

  • zahanat: go for nokia 3250. its far much advanced than n70. 3250 is based on symbian 9.1 OS while n70 runs on symbian 8, hence 3250 can run very powerful S60 applications. right now, n70 is outdated! also, 3250 is EXELLENT in music dept. its one of the best and successful product produced by nokia. TRUST ME.

  • @oo nana oo, I've never used n76 but its n-series nokia, so it should be ok. Be careful with it and its skin should last.

  • @yasir, One man's meat is another man's poison. Suit yourself. Some like it black, ugly, and bulky. So long as it delivers.

  • hello.. dr. adedoyin.. im asking u what phone i need to buy.. i thought to buy n76, is it ok? how to prevent it skin frm peeling off???

  • ugly , bulky phone have no resale value and casing , bodycase is of very low quality other mobileslike k790 k800 and k810 are better than this hv resale value ,excellent camera and sound. don,t take this phone

  • thanks dr.adedoyin, but i have heard some guys said when they connect their mobile sets as to upgrade firmware after updating when they restarted phone , phone didn't respond and gone in basket for forever whats that make it clear plz does it cost like this if we try to upgrade firmware and from where u used to upgrade nokia site?? or somewhere else..!! kindly reply me in details

  • @Sammer, My 5700 is updated to Version 03.83.1. That's the latest version. When you buy, it may come with the earlier firmware version and you have to upgrade using the Nokia Software Updater. This phone does not hang and its sms is not slow. It does not need sms accelerator.

  • @ dr.adedoyin kindly tell me what is the very latest firmware of 5700..???and one more thing does is hang like 3250?or its messg sending is slow?

  • aah! thanks dr.adedoyin thank you very much..i"ll buy 5700

  • @Sameer Hassan, Sorry to reply you late Sameer. N70 is out of the contest. Its an old symbian phone not up to N73 which is also not up to 5700. 5700 is symbian OS version 9.2 release 3.1. Its same system with N95 and it has a dedicated audio chips for enhanced music. Its very fast, much faster than 3250. N73 wins only in camera department. It has about 3mega pixel camera with autofocus. Its also louder than 5700 but sound quality of 5700 is better. The S.E. k790 is a good phone but too ordinary. After using a symbian phone am sure K790 will not satisfy you. Its camera is same with N73 but may be a little better being a sony ericsson phone. The contest actually is with N73 and 5700 but given the price range and extra features, 5700 in my opinion, is a good buy. I have been using 5700 for the past six months and i had the same problem of choice when i wanted to upgrade from 3250. I can tell you, am happy i chose 5700.

  • Helloo dr. adedoyin! how r you sir! i have always been lookin for ur great opinions about diffrent mobiles, but this time am gonna ask something new,so plz tell me what to do im about to buy a new phone..i have choosen three and now want to select one of these,NokiaN73,N70Music edition,Nokia5700 and SonyerricsonK790i..tell me what the basic diffrence is among these mobiles..coz i have to selecet within my price range so u moght know better which phone is best for music for calls,fast speed processing and camera..im just lookin forward to ur opinion kindly reply me with detail as soon as possible..thanks Miss u

  • I 'was' using a Nokia 3250 HP till a couple of months ago. I went in with Auto-roaming to a neighbouring country & the network never came back. Unfortunately I missed a few days on my warranty & couldnt get ot fixed without changing a major part. I read somewhere that I can try to change a certain capacitor & it may solve the problem but I am having trouble trying to open the casing.. :(

  • i have Nokia 3250 but i can't download files like FExplorer.. my question is that why my phone can't install the FExplorer? what other file explorer can i use? e-mail me at [email protected] please

  • to format the phone is actually *#7370# and the message that will be on ur screen is "restore all original phone settings?Phone will restart." before that pls backup all your phone directory to ur micro sd card, about all the other applications? just install them again! and don't use the PC suite,its slow,for me, just use the cable directly to the PC using "data Transfer" Its true when there are to many applications on board you wont be able to view them with the application memory..and dont worry all the normal applications in the phone will still be there...but if you want to keep your sms pls also transfer to ur micro card, all the other applications such as the themes, picture editor some other stuff can be obtained from the nokia website, www.nokia .com find 3250 and then support and software..or also try mobile9.com

  • can anyone please help me. I need to free up my phone memory in my nokia3250. i only had 3MB free memory.i need to free up some unnecessary applications. I cant see phone memory files in the apps manager. one solution i know is formatting the phone but i hesitate to do it coz i dnt wanna experience worst case scenarios. i just wanna know how to format my phone memory. if my phonememory was formatted, would the ff be erased also (contacts,messages, default applications from nokia)? what else other stuff taht would be erased?? yes ill do backup files of phone thru pc suite, but after formatting ill do recover the files from the pc suite to my phone.i find it ridiculous. as far as i know pc suite is not capable of recovering back on a "file to file" basis. You just backup and recover all the same way

Due to this problem i have switched of my phone and using another phone but i want to use my 3250 again. any help is welcome.

  • viperkid: hi. i hav a little problm wit my 3250. when i try to update music library in the music player after transferin music from PC, � get the message 'App. closed music library server' and updating fails!! wat should i do? i'll appreciate ur help.

  • MWWW [no name]: click d link down and download 'SMS accelerator' to ur PC and transfer it to ur 3250 using Nokia PC suite and ur problem in sending msgs will vanish! =) shereenn,,,: i hav 3250 for 1.5 years, but i didn't hav any issues in sndng msgs whatsoever. though i'm aware dat der r affected units which really has dat problem, but a simple installation of 'SMS accelerator' (abovementioned) will rectify d slow sndng juz in case u got a 3250 with such problem. as for d twisting mechanism, up to now mine works like new, 99% accurate! cons of this phone are: not 3G, music player installed not like d ones installed on N73, 5700 which supports album art, visualizations and more intuitive playback controls, we need to use adapter to use our own 3.5mm jack headphones (just like other music phones, particularly SE walkmans); pros, one of Nokia's best sounding loudspeakers (aside from 6233, N73, N95), inbox in-ear earphones lacks bass, using a branded headsets from A4Tech, Sennheiser, Creative, Sony, Etymotic, Shure wil surely make 3250 shine. but if u can shelf out more bucks, i highly suggest u to buy 5700 instead or even N81 (not d 8GB version) which wil hav almost d same price as 3250 and 5700 when both just got released initially, being 350 euros (n81's 360 euros). if u live in Manila, i suspect N81 to cost around max PhP21T when it bcomes available =)

  • samcan you tell me how to install the sms accelerater pls because it is vey slow and i have a big problem !!!

  • hay there will about the phone it's nice .. i have it now for almoste a year it's sooo cool with music i mean the specker in it clear and about the messeges i didnt find any hard time seinding or risiveing messeges for me i like it

  • yadav, Anything sent to you by bluetooth goes into your inbox in messages. This is under phone memory. Your phone memory is full hence you cannot receive further things. Delete what you don't use from your phone memory or move your saved items from phone to memory card so as to get more space in phone memory to receive into your inbox. Also when you receive anything by bluetooth to inbox, transfer to memory card and delete it from inbox. These processes help to conserve memory space in your phone. Cheers

  • i hav a problem about peple sendin me stuff from blutooth and it says da memory is full buh i still have more den 800 mb free any 1 can help ?

  • i hate it i swore by nokia before but this has been the worst expirience thus far ( previously had a 6230) . The best things are the memory card slot and the speaker for music . The reciever for the mic when the phone is on loudspeaker is horrible the persont can harly hear u . since i've had mine June 07' it is continually freezing . it also takes really long to load in between twist and thats when im not running multiple applications. all in all stylish but huge software issues. its so bad this loyal nokia fan is looking to go MOTO -ewwwwwww

  • sameer hassan, I never used nokia 6230i before, so i don't know anything about it. I suggest you post this queastion in 6230i forum in gsmarena. Hopefully, someone will answer.

  • hello friends i just got 6230i as a gift but nowadays there's only one problem that the phone's bluetooth doesn't work i dont know why i tried to connect it with my music edition 3250 it just connected once after that it says no device found even it doesn't get connect with anyother mobile bluetooth can u plz tel me whats the problem the phone firmware is new V3.88 and one more thing when i save any contact in the phone memory and i try to copy it on the sim card it says contact not moved why is that..??? and after restarting the phone the contact will be there in the sim card as well as in the phone memory restarting of the phone causes the battery life plzzzzz help me @ dr.adedoyin

  • heloo evrybody: do you know how to format(program) 3250 without going to the nokia center when the database is corruptted? plez help!!

  • hai all 3250 user I already used this phone since August last year. well, i decided to sell dis phone. Here my opinions about 3250. What's good: - the phone design : Stylish - a lot and good software (theme etc.) - it's symbian 60 3rd edition - truly music phone; support all format music - speaker is really good - for music lover What' bad: - Bad camera even its 2MP - Bad video (176x144) - No 3G My conclusion: I love this phone. Yes, this is among the best of music phone but now, 3250's not good enough. From my xprience, you must be carefull when disconnetted the phone from the computer: the database may corrupted if you makes mistake.

  • ismi, Follow the advices given to chacha in this forum bellow. They may help.

  • Hello dr. i hav prob wit dis phone. my calendar cannot be opened. the phone sad, app. closed: calendar. wat happen?

  • Alex, Download and install SMS accelerator to your phone and this problem will be corrected

  • Good, sturdy phone, only problem is the occasional freezing that occurs after sending a message, which eventually gets quite irritating.

  • chacha, To soft format you use *#7370# But remember the phone will restore to default and you have to restore back your settings. I still recommend you back up your phone in the memory card as well as using the nokia PC suite to back up phone before you start.

  • DR Adedoyin: how do i soft format phone memory?

  • chacha, Symbian phones do have these minor problems. I'll advice you make sure you always close all applications each time you finish with them before opening another one to prevent such cases. And each time the message comes up again after you have taken these precautions, reboot your phone and try again. However, it the problem persists in spite of all these, then it may be wise to soft format your phone. This may be using a sledge hammer to kill an ant but it should work. Before soft formatting, back up your phone in memory card, remove the card then format. You can then restore back your settings to phone from memory card afterwards.

  • Help! My 3250's contact's some suddenly disappeared, just like one blank option, and when I go to groups, there's nothing, the option button disappeared. And, some buttons u pressed, for instances, the personalize option in profiles, nothing happens.. Anyone can help? pls?

  • this phone has great voice..but the problem is hanging...please help me to stop the hanging....

  • sameer hassan, I checked myself and the firmware i see is 4.14. Its possible that 4.40 is the latest but am not sure. In any case, i don't expect much difference in performance between any "latest" firmware and the version 4.14. Firmware upgrade is supposed to improve on some mistates and defects of a previous version. For example, earlier vervions of 3250 do have hang up and frequent rebooting problems but the 4.14 is more stable.

  • hello dr. adedoyin how r u, well i want to know that wht is the latest firmware for 3250 i checkd the nokia offical site there they said its 4.14 why people lie that its 4.40 tell me what kind of benefits we can get by updating our firmware for any mobile phone im just lookin forward to ur answer earlier @ dr.adedoyin

  • 3250 latest firmware have 4.40....

  • uhmm...if your joystick is broken???can you get it replaced??and if so...how??and where is it available???

  • Suryani: simply download 'SMS Accelerator' to solve ur problem in sending msgs. u can find it here: download dat to ur PC and transfer it via Nokia PC suite to ur 3250 =)

  • Oh My God!This handphone is very beautiful and has a great voice. But.. It always make me angry because sending message is very slow!!!

  • can I install german language in my phone?

  • Joystick is wonderfull, music sound is very good also but I've got 2 pblms: 1- Although network is strong the phone sometimes while talking gives a beep switches off then on again causing me to disconnect while talking. 2- To go in and out my folders and files also images' displaying and zooming have become extremely slow.

  • Hi guys. I really have a big problem wit my 3250. When i click the services so as to surf, i get the message APPLICATION CLOSED. What could be the problem, and what should i do? Help me coz am really suffering. Am no longer able to browse the WAP. I would really appreciate your assistance. My email is [email protected]

  • very usefull applications for 3250: 2 players game:

  • chacha, Sis files designed for 3250 should work for your phone when downloaded via wap browser. However, if problem persists, i suggest you download whatever apps on your PC and transfer via cable or bluetooth into "others" file on your memory card then click to install from there. It could be that memory in phone is too small for direct installation via wap.

  • my camera doesn't work and and i can't record what should I do ? i have tried to reset the phone but the problem persists thankful for help

  • Hi all.i just wanna know how much time it will take to upgrade my firmware?plz ans me . . . . . . . .thnx in advance

  • aye there every1.. I'm really confused bout the matter that which fone i really shud buy 3250 or Sony ericsson w850i.the only thing i like bout the 3250 is the loudness of the phone speakers and th rests are average.But w850i is much stylish and fun-packed despite the fact that is does not sound louder than 3250...but i'm gradually attracted 2wards this walkman fone though i was commited 2 buy 3250. What shud i really do????Please help sombody coz i have 2 buy any 1 by 2moro or 1 year later...please help now....ejaz

  • thanx for your opinion i"ll definitly go for 5700 soon but the fact which making me a little bit confuse is the volume anhyow i"ll try itthanx for ur kind reply@ dr.adedoyin

  • sameer hassan, Generally, i think the 5700 is better than 3250 in almost all aspect. This is the reason i sold my 3250 and bought 5700 which am using now. The sound clarity is better, it has 35mb user memory so its easier to transfer multiple music to this phone by bluetooth or infrared without worry about phone memory. It has an audio chip for enhanced music playback and its screen comes in 16 million colour. It also has dual stereo speakers. Many other advantages. However, its sound is just a little bit lower than 3250 when played by phone speakers. I'll suggest you go for 5700 instead of n73. Only advantage of n73 is its autofocus camera otherwise 5700 is the better phone. Your joystick should go back to store for servicing if its to be returned to its former splendor. Webcam..., i honesty have never given it a thought since i have my digital camera and camcorder. But i think it may be possible.

  • hi dr. adedoyin i forgot to ask is that possible to use your mobile camera as webcam? im just looking forward to your answer thanx

  • thanx dr.adedoyin you always been kind to all of us,but tell me one thing im just upto buy the nokia 5700 is that better than 3250 in all aspects? and features or shuld i go for nokia n73 and the last thing that my 3250 joystick is little jammed nowadays how it can be free just like before easy use?

  • the memory card slot can only be seen when the fone is twisted

  • can somebody please tell if it is possible to install the norwegian and german languages on nokia 3250 and if it is possible, how can i do it?, thanx

  • Has anybody tried using a "buetooth stereo headset" for this model? does this model support "A2DP"??????

  • @Sirrom No i don't think so dude. You cant upgrade your series to 9.2 or anything. Cuz the software has to be compatible with the phones hardware as well. Know what i mean? so I highly doubt it. I once asked nokia customer care center. That time i wanted to upgrade my 6630 software with 6680 software. They said you can't put another cells software into it otherwise it will crash and die.

  • this is a ausomn phone ...ek dam MAST

  • where do i insert the memory card????

  • @ all 3250 users if symbian is a smartphone os and it works like a computer can you upgrade you os. if i dont want ms xp then i go buy ms vista or in mac i get leopard insted of tiger. so not just firmware updates should be possible. can i go from s60 9.1 to 9.2 or to s40 is there any new updates after 4.14 firmware

  • @ mzn yeah no prob u just keeping it real. thats how we 3250 users do it.

  • @Sirrom Lol no prob. I hope you didn't think i was being rude to you... :-)

  • @Sirrom Ya I was right. Wycliffe specifically said: 'I am unabe to put on "automatic" Keyguard.It only works when I use security lock code.' And he's right.

  • @Sirrom Dude I think the guy asking for a keypad lock is actually asking for an AUTOMATIC keypad lock. You know, that locks the keypad after a set amount of time... We don't have it in by default in 3250. I'm sure nobody is that stupid that they don't even know how to lock a keypad manually. Lol! :-)

  • @ wycliffe ignore all the foolishness about downloading a phone lock that is garbage. press the left control key and then the * key to lock the keys. when you are using the music player on loud speaker the keys are deactivated but when u use the headset open the music player from menu page first and select your song/s to play. exit the media player (music should still be playing) then lock the keypad. you will control volume and the skip functions with the headset. These people need to really use a lil common sense before just suggesting that you download stuff. how on earth do you expect a nokia not to have a key lock come on people if you dont have the phone or use it stop using this forum.

  • Thank you so much Sarja.... god bless regards Rree ------------------------ @Rree, its a commn problem of 3250. Every1 first face such kinda problem. no problem . You have to just download sms accelaretor from nokia website! thnX. # sarja #

  • @Godia, The absence of automatic keylock is by design. Think of when auto-keylock locks the keypad when you are in music mode. Very inconvenient to unlock the keys again and again during music operation, is it not? Anyway, if you still want to lock the keys automatically. You can download and install any of the freeware keylock programs for S60v3. Google is your friend. =)

  • I have Nokia 3250 and i lost music gallery so please can anyone help me where to get that software plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................. Thanku

  • Can some one asssit me .I have used this phone for 7 months.The funny thing is I am unabe to put on automatic Keygusrd.It only works when I use security lock code.Otherwise the phone delivers better than some N series. Thanks Godia.

  • This set is not good. Because its hardware problem. Its hanged when Process high. When you play video file sometimes its hanged..... So don't try to Purchase.

  • i'll ask about the camera, how's the quality? and the blue tooth and speakers. the memory too. if it has (mostly) psitive comments, i'll buy one. help me please :) i hate my current phone :(

  • @ denise why would you suggest such an inferior phone as the 5200 to compare with 3250 in music capability. please explain

  • This is a fantastic set i have used it for one year it has the best sound quality among all the phones of Nokia it battery is also very good i advised everyone that if they want a set that has good sound quality then they buy this set.

  • @Sirrom Dude this is the link to the latest firmware teller thing site. I think its bogus....

  • can anyone of u tell me that the mobile camera can be use as webcam with internet chatting???

  • @ krishna GGGGGRRRRRRRRREEEEEAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­!!!!!!!!!!!! EASILY WORTH THE MONEY. just remember its not a boombox or a full fledged entertainment system so like any other music device it wont be crystal clear if you have the volume up to all. the phone is excellent solid metl construction, comfortable keys, great functionality, it sticks sometimes but its a smartphone (computer) and those stick on you too so that doesnt effect the quality of the device, camera cool in day not a night picture phone at all, very nice display, connection by usb shows up as removable drive in data transfer mode so drag and drop is cool dont need to use pcsuite for that function, conversion of mp3 to smaller formats is easy thru the pcsuite and saves loads of space but doesnt affect the phone,hemes ,applications and games for it. i believe it the total package and you will not need anothe phone for a while. better than the sony w810i. headphones are excellent once you put them in your ear correctly and they dont hurt the ear after long periods of use like normal earphones that plug in your ear do. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOKIA RULES. i know this is more info than you asked for but i assume more questions would follow.

  • I want to buy the phone nokia 3250 can anyone tell me about the sound quality of this fone Thanks

  • @MZN send me a page link to this site cause i checked it and saw nothing on the 3250

  • hey i checked from the site the anon guy. the site does say latest firmware for 3250 is 4.40. but i also checked the nokia site and also through my NSU. both say the latest released yet is still 4.14. lets wait and see...

  • well this phones a greatest addition to Nokia family.Expressonmusic 3250 is such a rocker!!!!!!!i had it upgrade to 4.14firmware and it's much different from 3.23 firmware. to good that i have this phone...i really love it,planning to buy as 2gb memory for more storage capacity.....love this phone so much.i'll never replace thsi with the n-series type of handsets

  • @ all 3250 users i upgraded my firmware to 4.14 and i have both smartmovie 3.41 and divx 0.88. the smartmovie was working well at the 1.20 pre roll audio setting but know it seems not to be in sync even at the 1.20. help me please

  • this is nice/great/fun/handsome phone.

  • @Dr Adedoyin: thanks alot man. i'll definitely go for my nokia 3250 at end of this month. cheers!

  • Dr Adedoyin, thank you. I appreciate your help so much, thank you for making gsmarena a better place with your help.

  • @chacha Going by your need, 1. Good display. Both phones have 256k colour with 176/208 pixel and same size screen. 2. Browser. I didn't get to use my n70 browser before the phone packed up, but 3250 browser is excellent for wap and you install an equally excellent web browser. 3. Sound of high quality. 3250 wins. Sound is loud and does not distort at the maximum level. in my opinion, it beats n70 hands down. 4. Video. nokia 3250 wins. Other features include: upgraded symbian version 9.1 in 3250 compared with version 8.1 of n70. This version is really fast and has less hang up problems. The twisting keypad is really a "head turner" for the opposite sex if you know what i mean. 3250 uses micro SD memory card while n70 uses outdated RS-DV-MMC card and you can go up to 2Gb storage for your lovely music and favourite films. I think i'll go for 3250 if i were you. ------------------ R@YH@N 3250 is marginally louder than 5700 but 5700 sound clarity is by far better with more music options which includes album art etc. ------------ @febin YES it does. -----------

  • @ Adedoyin thanks a million dude. i upgraded the pcsuite and got the firmware 4.14. there is definitely a difference in performance love it.

  • Is nokia 5700 louder than nokia 3250?

  • hey guyz .........pls help me out here.... does 3250 support 2gb micro sds??

  • @Dr Adedoyin: i need ur help. am now using motorola SLVR L7 and i want a new phone between 3250 and N70. what i want in a phone is good browser, excellent screen display,video and sound of high quality. which is better? pliz reply. thanks in advance.

  • @ watela, sirrom and all those people who want to upgrade their firmware ver to 4.14. Ok. Now first of all you need to backup your phone mem before you do anything. (Normally nothing happens to the phone mem or any other of your settings during an update, but just in case, you should back it up. Now you can do that in the following ways: 1) Go to the "Memory" application in the phone. Go to options, and select "Backup phone mem". This way your phone mem will be backed up on the mem card. After updating you can come back here and select restore phone mem (in case data is lost). 2) Or, you can connect your cell to the Nokia PC Suite via cable or bluetooth. Then open the PC Suite. Get the lastest PC Suite from this link if you don't already have it. Follow the instructions, download and install it. I hope you guys can do that much :-) Ok now open the PC Suite and select "Backup". Follow instructions to backup. To restore, come back to this option after updating in vase of data loss. Remember normally nothing happens to phone mem. This is just to be on the safe side. Better safe than sorry right? Ok now you have to download the Nokia Software Updater (NSU). Get the lastest version of NSU from this link Follow the instructions to download and install it. Ok now your ready to update to 4.14. connect your fully charged phone to the computer via a cable. Cable is recommended since its faster than bluetooth. Anyway, connect it and open the Nokia Software Updater. Now follow the instructions it gives and you'll have firmware 4.14 soon. GOOD LUCK!!! :-)

  • @sirrom I had the 4.14 version before i sold my 3250 and upgraded to 5700. However i had no problem connecting the phone with PC Suite. Have you tried the Get Connected wizard? First uninstall and re install the PC suite. Without connecting your phone, open the PC suite then click the Get Connected button in the PC suite and follow the instructions. This may help solve this problem of your phone not being recognised by PC suite. If this is successful, then use the PC suite to upgrade your firmware. If you already tried this and not working, then maybe we should ask viperkid for help ---------------- @viperkid Pls read the post above and sirrom's request and see if you can help us. We appreciate you past help and we know you might be able to help once again. Thanks

Now you can do that in the following ways: 1) Go to the "Memory" application in the phone. Go to options, and select "Backup phone mem". This way your phone mem will be backed up on the mem card. After updating you can come back here and select restore phone mem (in case data is lost). 2) Or, you can connect your cell to the Nokia PC Suite via cable or bluetooth. Then open the PC Suite. Get the lastest PC Suite from this link if you don't already have it. Follow the instructions, download and install it. I hope you guys can do that much :-) Ok now open the PC Suite and select "Backup". Follow instructions to backup. To restore, come back to this option after updating in vase of data loss. Remember normally nothing happens to phone mem. This is just to be on the safe side. Better safe than sorry right? Ok now you have to download the Nokia Software Updater (NSU). Get the lastest version of NSU from this link Follow the instructions to download and install it. Ok now your ready to update to 4.14. connect your fully charged phone to the computer via a cable. Cable is recommended since its faster than bluetooth. Anyway, connect it and open the Nokia Software Updater. Now follow the instructions it gives and you'll have firmware 4.14 soon. GOOD LUCK!!! :-)

  • @ watela, sirrom and all those people who want to upgrade to firmware ver 4.14 ok people. first of all you need to backup all your data in the phone memory (just in case something goes wrong. normally nothing is deleted and none of ur settings are changed after updating, but just in case). you could do that by the following ways: 1) go to the application "memory" in the phone. go to options, and select "backup phone mem" 2) connect ur cell to the computer. in nokia pc suite, select backup. get the lastest version of nokia pc suite from then follow the instructions, download n install. i hope you can do that much :) next u need to get the nokia software updater(NSU). get it from download and install by following the instructions. ok now ur ready to update. connect ur cell to the pc via a data cable or bluetooth.the (NSU) will pick up ur cell automatically after u open the NSU. then you can follow the instructions again and update ur firmware... :-) GOOD LUCK!!!

  • @yasir See my post bellow on that topic. Also it helps always to read other people's posts before posting a question. Your question might have been answered like in this case.

  • @ yasir ok well sorry but you didnt explain that. go to mobile9.com or ownskin.com or series60v3.com and download all the stuff for 3250. install it and ignore any essages that say not compatible or that say they may damage the phone. once it offfers you to continue install it. i need help with upgrading my firmware to 4.14 a step by step idiots guide. pcsuite not recognising my phone.

  • I have a problem with my screen, its been off since i took it in for repair. the tech tels me that this phone does not have a bulb, but the screen could be damaged. its been four weeks that i am waiting for my screen. i am in namibia and i need a sreen for this phone. does any one know where i can get this screen 3250 nokia phone quicker?

  • hey sirrom i have this fone i am not asking just for a mp3 player i am saying that it does no supports any sis file it only supports sisx files so is there any site that i can download games if u need some so go to 4shared.com and search for (sisx) thanks

  • yo that phon is the sweetest phone iv ever seen i am going to buy one in september who ever made it was smartr and new what people wanted

  • @ Dr Adedoyin i need a step by step idiots process to upgrading my firmware. i tried to do it with the pc suite but the cpu isn't recognising my phone in pcsuite mode. i want 4.14 help me

  • @carl Nokia says 1Gb card. This is the official statement. However, you can actually go up to 2Gb but you use Nokia or Sandisk card. Some cards don't do well above officially stated limits. ----------- @David Vargas If you like your 3250, then stick to it. Its a splendid phone. However, 5700 is actually better in terms of sound clarity and some other features. It is an upgrade if 3250. Both have same familiar interface but 5700 is a better phone. The difference in price is not much in my country. ------------ @yasir I agree with sirrom. You don't need another mp3 player. The phone is a formidable music machine. ---------- @LISA WILLIAMS Symbian OS is just a platform on which your phone operates just as you have Windows OS, Linus OS, or Mach operating systems in computers. Operating systems are used by a class of phones known as smartphones. They have flexible interface and they are multitasking.

  • @mel 1. I don't understand what you mean by MMC. Can you explain? Thanks 2. You have already backed up your memory card in PC suite, so its safe and better to format your memory card using the phone to do this. This of course woll erase all files but then you can restore back. But since PC suite does not let you select only what you want to restore, the error file may be restored. So it may be better to connect your phone with memory card inside to your pc in data transfer mode then memory card will appear as a drive in my computer. You then selectively transfer what you want to save into a file you create in your pc. You can then restore fron here after you format your memory card. 3. You can only soft format or hard format your phone not memory card.

  • This phone is very useful like the old Nokia Ngage 1. i will never sell my 3250 even if i buy the latest nokia flick.

  • Anyone knows a program 4 turning off the light of the key pad, with the screen light still on?

  • Is there anyway to turn off the shutter sound when I take a picture? and does it take any cards larger than 1gb? In the manual it says it will only take 1gig and smaller. Does anyone know if it takes a 2gig card?

  • Had this phone and accidently broke it. I'm considering buying it again but now sure if I should go with this or the Nokia 5700. I really don't see a huge difference and the nokia 3250 is so much cheaper than the 5700 here in the states. What do you all recommend?

  • big up all 3250 users this phone rocks. which site can i get a nokia 2 gig microsd from help

  • Thanks a million MZN, that thing'WatcherMainThread' has disappeared, but am scare it will come again. Will try to upgrade to version 4.14 One other thing is I my memory card is not in use. How do I upgrade to the latest version? sorry guys if I sound silly, I like my fon... thanks for your patience.

  • @yasir you probably dont have this phone if you asking such a question. its a music phone there is no need to download a mp3 player because it will not work. the phone is a mp3 player. if you wanna change the look of the music player then the themes will do that for you but dont waste your time. and try and buy the phone instead of pretending.

  • hi guyssssssssssss plzzzzzzzzzzzzz helppppppppp meeeeeeeee when i install ultra mp3 player so a error came (installation of ultra mp3.sis not supported and tell me how to sign these applications

  • @Dr Adedoyin, i didnt do some reformatting. i uninstalled the WEB browser from MicroSD.I removed the MicroSD in the phone and install it again inn the MMC and the error seems to be the same. However i had the plan B, i reinstall the WEB browser apps in the phone memory and it worked flawlessly without any error.The drawback is it used a large phone memory of 2MB. but its ok, im not using the phone mem coz i still have remaining 400MB of MicroSD. ive already done the backup of phone and memory card thru PC SUITE. My question are: -if i reformat my memory card,do u think error will be gone? -and if i restore the file from my MMC,would i encounter problems like what u had? -would you prefer to soft reset my MMC (*7370#)? or hard reset?how to do a hard reset? what effect of hard resetting and sof resetting? -how to format MMC? thanks

  • wonerful in its class with various feature like twist, camra & music but not one feature infrared.

  • my nokia 3250 has been experiencing alot of difficulties right now. i don't even know how to upgrade it to its latest version which is 4.14. currently my handset is showing signs of deffect and slow sending of sms. can anyone help me solve my problems concerning my nokia 3250?

  • @TiinGz the lastest firmware right now is ver 4.14

  • @watela i used to have the same problem when i had firmware ver 3.28. i suggest u upgrade to 4.14. i hope that fixs the prob... :-)

  • @watela i had the same problem. back then i had firmware ver 3.28 upgrade ur ver to 4.14. i hope that fixs the problem.

  • May I know what the latest firmware for this phone?

  • Right now, I have a problem with my fone, bcoz there is what appears to be a virus. its written: App.closed:WatcherMainThread. Have no idea what that is, someone say its a virus...what shall I do, dont want to lose my fon..?

  • In my opinion it is a wonderful phone but what is not ok is Weight 130 and the loss of vedio call

  • @mel In case you decide to soft format your phone, please back up you phone first. Best way to do this is with Nokia PC Suite so that you can restore afterwards. Cheers

  • @mel Thats the same version i had before i sold my 3250 to buy 5700. I had no problem with it at all. By the way, my memory card that came with my phone did not have any preinstalled apps. It was a Kingston 1Gb card not nokia. I had a feeling then that my retailer pulled a fast one switching the original nokia card for Kingston. Nonetheless, i had no problem with that browser. I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the browser and if this does not work, then uninstall and reinstall from a friend's memory card. If that is not possible and you are despirate like i was when i had problem with ImageEditor, then first uninstall the browser, back up your phone in memory card, remove the card, then soft formatt your phone(not card). Reinstall the browser(it should work well now)then re-insert your card and restore your phone settings back.

  • hi guys i have 3 .sis files that are in my file manager. smartmovie, a codec for smartmovie and divx player. i got them from a frens memory card. i backed up my phone memory first, changed cards and installed the info onto the phone memory. i put back in my mem card restored phone memory and transferred the info to my mem card. when i go to open them the screen just blinks and goes back into the folder i saved them to. no options or information comes up. help me please. p.s. my smartmovie is skipping when i use it and i have already changed the preroll settings H.E.L.P

  • @ Dr Adedoyin cool dude glad i could help and thanks i will check out the site.

  • @sirrom Thanks. It works. Now am free to install all those themes from ownskin.com and mobile9.com. ---------------- Try this site for your divX download:

  • i still need help with the divx player guys.

  • @ Adedoyin yes it will work no problems at all. i have those themes on my phone as we speak.

  • @sirrom I always quit when it says not compartible with phone. That's why i never install anything from mobile 9.com or ownskin.com. So if i continue it will work?

  • @ Ahhlife go to www.mobile9.com click themes and in the dropdown box on the left look for 3250 themes. downlad to the computer in a newfolder on the desktop. hookup the phone in data transfer mode and select it in my computer. you should see folders marked other and other files. copy and paste the themes from the desktop into one of these folders then safely remove your phone. go in the phone to organiser>file mgr.>move the joystick right and go to the folder you placed the themes in (other or other files)and open and save them to the memory card. ps. if they say expired certificate change the date to 01/01/2007 and then reinstall. after the first continue some might say they are not compatible but still show a continue button ignore the message and continue. all of them seem to say they aren't registered and might be harmful to the phone ignoe and continue. after you have put them on you can delete them from you other files folder if you wish hope i have been helpful.

  • Pros & Cons What are you ppl talking about? You love the phone, then go out and but it. Its a super phone. Symbian 60 3rd edition, v9.1. Use the phone for its strength. There is no perfect phone but this one is good and latest firmware version has tried to correct all the flaws of previous version.

  • I think the Con is more than Pro

  • Where to get compatible themes for my Nokia 3250? And any free games download site....compatible again....coz mostly things turn up incompatible ....Help

  • I'm plan to buy this phone soon but afer review on the opinion & found that the Pros is much more then Cons?

  • @sirrom You have no problem. If other mp4 video is working fine, then delete the bad one. It could be currupted.

  • I've had this phone for a year now, I am very satisfied with it, excellent twisting keyboard, almost flawless, especially that the prices have come down a bit

  • Hey viperkid, thanks! Going by the step by step instrution given at your site, i gained 100Mb after converting some songs in my phone and the music quality still good. Yet to compare and see if any noticable difference from original mp3. But all in all, the quality is acceptable

  • bambi: install "SMS Accelerator" on ur 3250 at makakasend ka na ng txts ng mabilis! =) u can download it here:

  • I am from the philippines. This phone looks nice but the problem is it takes 15 minutes before i could send my sms. It also freezes in the middle of things that I have to "reboot" it quite often. Pls give me advise on how to make this work better and faster.

  • Dr Adedoyin thank you very much im really glas to see your response i love this site ad as well as u all the pple who help others without anything love you all thanx indeen Dr Adedoyin

  • @ Sirrom, compresion of audio music isnt any difficult matter. dnt think that music match or nokia music manager is the only solutions. Rather, you have to remember that there are tons of music soft are present in the world to do ur job :-D wt evr, i use jet audio to compres music. I like it,because here u cn convert any kinda important formate. even though,i like the nokia music manager as well! bt,sirrom,u hv to remem that with compression you are pulling down the quality of music. So, decision is yours. I use 1gb micro sd mem! Dnt compres song,if needD convert to aac by nokia music manager! hop,these informations will help you. If any more quary,feel free to ask it at our forum. thnX # sarja #

  • Dr Adedoyin: gee, dats nothing =) about ur mp3s & AACs, just follow d steps therein and u r on your way of having lots of free memory and at d same time make no compromise on their sound quality! oh yeah, u can comment on my blog by clicking on "Post a Comment" found below d post/news i posted or if u dont see dat link u may click on "0 comments" on a particular post i made usually found under each posts, normally shaded in light grey.. tnx for dropping by PS u may want to try firefox with google toolbar (juz in case u dont have one). its better than internet explorer for browsing multiple pages. with firefox u can even download a youtube video. u can install one by going to my blogsite and on d right portion, u'll see an image pertaining to firefox.. salamat

  • @viperkid Good to see you back on this nforum viperkid. Thanks for Mobigenie app and Frozen Bobble game we got at your site. How does one make comment and say thanks at your site. I will try the conversion to eAAC+ format to see what happens. I previously converted some mp3s to AAC format but to my surprise, they turned out to be marginally bigger than the original mp3s.

  • @viperkid Thanks for coming back to this forum viperkid and thanks for the Mobigenie app and the Frozen Booble game at your site. they are really useful. I wonder how we can make comment and say thanks at your site. I'll try convert all my mp3 to eAAC+ format and see how much space i save. I tried it with AAC format and the size of each music actually increased marginally instead of reducing.

  • i've had the phone for nearly a year... n i truly love it.. i did have a few problems,, just had to reformat it and it works fine now... love the mp3 playa.... n the volume goes off.....

  • Sirrom, Yes, you can convert your mp3 files to M4A(+eACC)mobile optimized format. with this you can turn a 4mb sized mp3 to more or less 1mb. Use your nokia music manager for this conversion. the only thing that differs from the method I've done compare to Viperkid is that i used musicmatch for just reducing the size of of mp3, using mp3 VBR to 1%, not converting mp3's to WMA.. Its you're choice what method you think is easier..

  • Sirrom: yup, ur memory serves u correct. it's possible to convert all your mp3s, wmas and normal AACs into the most optimized format for your phone so u can save tons of memory. actually, i have already published a step by step guide in converting all ur music files to eAAC+! please do visit my blog here: happy converting! =)

  • @Dr Adedoyin i read on this forum that you can compress the files to eacc+ and double or even triple the space. i also saw either in this fourm or on the nokia site(europe or asia)that a 2gig can hold 1500 songs so i assume that a 1gig will be around 750 songs and in the forum people say they have 900 songs so i wanna know if its true and if so what do i need to do. with only 15mg left i cant do much and i got games, software and themes to put on. also got video stuff to deal with too. Need info thanks again Doc.

  • @sirrom I don't know if its possible to compress the music. I don't think its possible. They are all mp3 music format which is already compacted for mobile use. What i think is that you go for 2Gb memory card. I think 3250 can take 2Gb though i've not tried it myself. You said you have only 222 songs in your phone. Thats a lot of songs my dear. Alternative is to delete those not very useful to you. If you must upgrade to 2Gb i suggest you buy sandisk brand or original nokia brand micro SD. Maybe sarja can help say something on this matter.

  • my packaging for the phone was the same but the black phone had a scratch on the face so i got the red and white phone instead. i still need to know how to update the firmware.

  • i have a 1 gig card in my phone and i put music files mp3s that were downloaded from kazaa. i did this thru the pcsuite and was prompted asking if i wanted to optimize space on the memory card with the transfer. i said no just to see how it works and how many songs i could put on. now that i have gotten themes, pictures and music videos i am thinking of compressing the media. my memory card details are as follows. capacity. 969mb used. 955mb free. 13mb 6 KB messages 8916 KB images 789 MB SOUND FILES 59 MB VIDEO CLIPS how can i compress the sound files to get more space. i only have 222 sounds. can someone guide me thru the process and can it be done outside of using pcsuite and just using data transfer. HELP ME. Dr Adedoyin or anyone. Ps. thanks for all previous help and the quick responce time. BIG UP ALL NOKIA 3250 USERS

  • can anyone plz help me. my 3250 mirror mode sometimes doesn't work, sometimes it takes a lot of minutes or tries to work, i try formatting the phone, still the problems occurs, but i have no problem using camera mode. firmware is 4.14 i already tried reinstalling firmware. plz help!! i read that theres a same problem with me in this forum, but it has no answer

  • @sirrom You can also go to nokia support website to configure your settings. Go to the link bellow:

  • @sirrom I have started suspecting the firmware has something to do with it. My firmware is 4.14 and produced in Feb. 2007. I bought it 1st June 2007. Funny enough the packet that contains it show the white/red phone and the user manual also show same white/red with expressmusic written.But my phone is black. It came with 1Gb memory card. Maybe version 4.14 cannot install certain type of themes. If this is the case then i advice not to upgrade till you are sure about what the advantages/disadvantages of the version 4.14. ----------------- About the settings, it depends on what settings. If gprs, then your service provider should be able to configure for you. If email settings, same should apply but some do not have email services and you have to set up POP account with email providers. Some are free like gmail, but most are on subscription. I tried to go thuough nokia advanced setting to help configure my 3250 for my gmail POP account but got nowhere though it works well with my samsung D900.

  • i have the express edition red and white i wonder if that has anything to do with it. my firmware is 3.23 also and i have had trouble getting the new firmware 4.14. the system wasn't recognising my phone and then the computer bugged out. that was three weeeks ago so i will check this weekend. the cpu is back up and running. on another note i am from barbados in the caribbean and i bought this phone unlocked. my older phone nokia6060 was set up with internet thru my provider digicel but know that i switched i get the updates but can't get on because i don't have the settings. i called and they told me to bring it in but i am reluctant because they may want to lock my phone to their network. they sell the n73 which has the same data setup as the 3250 so i was wondering if the settings is different from model to model or is it dependant on the classification of the phones capabilities. does anybody know of any settings i can try out. Help Dr Adedoyin or anybody

  • @sirrom Happy to know things are working well with your theme installation now. But you know one thing, i've not been able to install ANY theme from ownskin.com no matter how i try and other ppl are able to do this. I install from other sites without problem. I wonder why this is so. --------------- @Sameer hassan Its easy to do sameer, after you connect your phone in data transfer mode, it will appear in My Computer on your PC as another drive (memory card or whatever name you give your memory card). Double click on this and you will see many folders such as images, documents, video, Sounds, Other, etc. Open Other folder then copy the themes or whatever you want to install into this folder. You can then disconnect your phone. When you are ready to install, open Menu>Organiser>file manager, then move joystick to right to get to memory card. Then scroll down to other and open it. The things you want to install should be there. Click on them one by one to install. Cheers

  • to all 3250 users .sis files are supported on the phone. i put on 18 .sis themes from ownskin.com and other sites and all work. ignore the msg about damaging phone and install. the ones that expired change the date to 01/01/2007 and they should work.

  • @Rree, its a commn problem of 3250. Every1 first face such kinda problem. no problem . You have to just download sms accelaretor from nokia website! thnX. # sarja #

  • thanks a million Dr Adedoyin. do .sis themes work on the 3250. i got soe bluetoothed and they tell me application untrusted and might harm my phone. help

  • i am nokia 3250 user and since couple of months i am facing this problem tat my sms delivery takes 5min delay which infact shld take few seconds only, Not only that my phone hangs for those 5 min and in that time gap if some1 tries to call me they hear the phone ringing on the other end but i dont rec the call since my phone has hung up and moreover doesnt get recorded in Missed call section. Its creates a lot of misunderstanding in the end. can someone guide me as to wat is the problem????

  • hey guys how r you, well if anyone of u know how to install themes or any software without installing pc suite as we connect the phone in data traveller mode is there any way to load the application somwhere in the phone and after disconnect data travler switch on the phone and install from there plz tell me if any one of u have a kinda experiment like that

  • @sirrom Forget about the nth themes they will not work for your 3250. Go to the link bellow and get yourself a good theme. Many to chose from. However, to install themes in Gallery 1 to 7, you have to reset your phone date to about 01/01/07. You change back date after installation. For Gallery 8 and 9 no need to change date. Cheers

  • hi guys what theme format does the 3250 use. can i get software to read my .nth themes. eg spiderman.nth, superman.nth . please help

  • WOW i'm sometimes blown away myself... Only bcoz i have a 3250. This is an amazing phone hands down!!! To every one who does not have it i'm so sorry for you, you not living the life!!! AndY G

  • Hey has anyone noticed there is a new firmware version out for this phone. proof: has anyone installed it? if so what does it do? should i upgrade? does the sound quality increase?

  • Hi.. I am using Nokia 3250 Handset. Version is V 3.23 15-05-06 RM 38. I want to upgarde it to the latest one. Is it possible? If yes..plz tell me how to do that?

  • Tell you a story Dr. . Every time I go to buy a phone,I take a look at new phones in the market...I see so many beautiful phones and I wonder where they were before ;-) then I come back home to search more to see what they really are! This time salesman introduced me Motorola A1200 though I couldn't find any reviwes. Anyway I would be happy to hear you about D900 vs. 6300 Good to see your comments hear...

  • @don chishut How can you ever compare 6300 with 3250 don. The 6300 is not in the league of 3250, not by any chance. Granted it has 16M colour screen which is far superior in principle but not so different in real life, the 6300 is a series 40 while 3250 is not just a symbian, but advanced 60, 3rd ed, v9.1. Also granted that 6300 is very slim and beautiful, it cannot be as rugged as 3250, its metalic battery cover not withstanding. 3250 wins hands down.

  • @ameen If you're looking for good music phone, both 3250 and 5700 are excellent. But if you like you music loud when played without headset, buy 3250. The phone is far louder than 5700. However if you plan to use with headset, then buy 5700.

  • @deJavu, ok man. I think ,bettr u check the actual phone mem used space and free space. I thnk u knw the procedure bt m mentioning again. menu -> options -> memore detail -> phone memory. i hope,from here you will get few valuable information about the total free phone memory! now, if you free phone memory is low. Bt u dont keep much things at phone mem,y its low? becz, * the themes saved at phone memory *the applications of phone memory *games of phone memory *hardward settings settd by nokia! *even though the games,themes, and app saved at mem card use a space of phone mem to do their job! so, you hav to del the games,themes, app s saved at phone mem or transfer them to mem crd! i think these information wil help you. If further problem,i wil try to help you. thnX # sarja #

  • Hiii , how u doin' sarJa , i have total 350 msgs in inbox nothing in sent items n just msgs in MYFOLDERS n they take hardly 150K but when i try to copy them in ma mem card it says MEMORY FULL DELETE SOME DATA i think 15MB is quite good for 150K size of msgs otherwise ive nothing in ma PHONE MEMORY thanx for ur advice but req. help again b'bye

  • hey the best music 4n is 3250.nw i'm going 2 take 3250 musicedition or 5700

  • @sarja Thanks sarja. I'll continue with 3250 forum for for times to come. No plans to leave. Also both 3250 and 5700 have a lot in common. Mutually exclusive so one can learn from the other.

  • @dr.adedoyin, thank u. And again thanks for your advice about study. wt evr, wts ur decision? Are you goin to stay with 5700 or 3250? im nt changing 3250 soon.have a plan to stay with it for 2 3 years more if any fatal incidence dont occure! but,if i get chanc to chang 3250 i wil just go to sony ericsson k790(becz 3g isnt avilable at my country) which is great for its cam and its music and fm radio + battery charge is bettr as wel with the superb xenon flash which can take photo even in a dark room! wt mbl set u use thts nt mater,hop you wil avilable at this forum. thnkX # sarja #

  • @don chishut Thanks don. I've started seeing some "faults" with 5700. 1. You can't transfer multiple images at once to a created file in gallery. 2. Music loudness not as good as 3250 though quality better. 3. No exit in music player hence app left running till next time you swith off and on. All in all its a great phone withenough memory in phone to play around with. Nice one to have as wife i must say. ------------- @sarja You are welcome into the trade dear. I've been in the profession for about two decades now. I am into Family Practice and General Medicine. You'll never regret the choice of profession dear. Also keep up the good work on this forum but don't let it disturb your studies. Cheers

  • Well,you got plenty of wifes Dr.How do you handle them? You made the mistakes girls always do:they order,then ask wich one is better! They give up the best thing to catch (better,worse,worst) thing !!! I prefer save some $$$ to get a macbook indeed...

  • @ deJavu, i thnik, ur free space of phone memory is reduced. U bettr, del the objects of phone mem n its wise to save message totaly at sd mem card! when my phone mem free space was reduced then i also faced such problem,bt,nw by making a large free memory space for phone mem my 3250 is doing a fast n great job. hop,this wil help you. thnX # sarja #

  • @ dr.adedoyin, yep,m a medical student of 3rd year. And want to be a surgeon at future. and,ab ur new wife.... I mean 5700,i think the cam is bettr with flash light and it has more function than 3250. Hop ur new wife would bettr.... thnX # sarja #

  • @don chishut Sorry don, your advice came a little too late. I've been enticed into buying the 5700 and now i don't know whether to sell off my 3250 or still keep it in case the 5700 charms wear off. Am still in love with the 5700. You know, new wife.... -------------------- @sarja You talk of surgeon's pic with n70 and all that. Are you by any means in the medical profession? Dr Adedoyin

  • Only 20 seconds? Well,take a deep breath till it loads.

  • Hi all , i ve a problem , when i open ma contacts in phone it takes almost 20,25 seconds to open a single contact , even i did FLASH my phone but it still take time plz dont say to UPGRADE da FIRMWARE.

  • Wow 3250 vs 5700! nt bad ya! But, if you ppl ask my choice i wil go 4 the dam smart black 3250xpres music! at wt i like from 5700 is nothing but flash light for camera! I still mis the flash light, and feel bad when any surgeon took photo of gall bladder infront of me using flash at his n70,and i took photo of that which wasnot as good as n70 photo! Though 3250 is far better than n70! if my black 3250 would come out with a flash light:-o thnX. # sarja #

  • @ Dr Adedoyin I know what you feel when you hear about it's processor and symbian,wow it has 16 Million color disply!But not really outstanding performance,strangely freezes every now and then and music feature is not good as 3250 and 5300,speaker is not that loud and a lot more,belive me!

  • hi guys i have this phone its a great phone with down rotating portion i have captured lots of pic by this phone the result is just outstanding like digital cam im using with 1gb card and have no problem with it i think its the best phone then N series specially N70,n71,n72,etc. coz the sound quality of this phone is great louder then n series i like it

  • @don chishut Why you say that don? I think 5700 rocks. In fact i am taking a delivery of mine tomorrow. I think its a step above 3250. I must confess the only thing i dislike about 5700 is the colour. Its too childish. I prefer the nice black mature colour of 3250.

  • Stay off the 5700,though tempting,it's waste of money,go for 3250 or 5300

  • Hi Guys, I've a problem with my NOKIA 3250. 'am not able to change storage location of messages from card memory to card memory. I hve followed the path Menu>>message>>options>>setting>>other>>memory in use>>option>>change>>card memory. After doing this also still it is not picking card memory. Earlier it was working but 'am facing the problem from last 10 days. Can somebody help me??? Deepak

  • Great support,thank you people. Nice your still here.Hope you will have no problem with your phone ever ;-)

  • Call quality and signal strength in both phones are excellent don. Even in my country where we have erratic and unstable networks, the two phones work fine. The two phones are at par in these regards. In my opinion, both shine equally.

  • Would be happy to know more about 3250 and D900 call quality and signal reception... Useful comments ibex,Thnx alot.

  • Drawbacks =========== -Low resolution big screen -Huge size, weight -Robust joystick -Easily scratchable back -Poor quality music palyer (compared to S40 devices) when connected to headset Advantages =========== -Good loudspeaker -Good battery life -Stylish design -Good signal strength & call quality

  • please help me with a manual on how to open the 3250 and open it from inside!!!

  • @don chishut You are absolutely correct don. For sheer power and control of your documents, as well as ease of use, 3250 wins. You can download and use java games on 3250 don. But your 3250 pales when put side by side with the new nokia 5700's features.

  • Can we Change the Casing of 3250 XpressMusic Phone??? my phone is white n red. i want to change the casing to black. Can i do this???

  • This fone is simply superb! it hav all dat we can expect from a gud smartfone! put on d radio or mp3 player, u get superb quality sound n loud 2! twist d fone... u kan use its dedicated keys 4 music or even use the remote control! its 1gb is more than enuf to kip songs, ur documents n oza things! The symbianV3 is symply great! no worries like phone freezing or restarting, and finally though the only thing that the 3250 lacks is a flash but still it does some nice pics! so 2 al those who r still deciding whether to buy this fone or not!? i wil advice u to buy it! its worth it! cheerz...

  • Wow Nokia3250 is extremely a super phone.I like it because it has high quality sound and it's great quality picture and movie.Each time I listen to music with I think to be in a dancing hall.

  • Last comment was sent by: Don Chishut. Thnx

  • Well, 3250 is far more advanced than other released phones with this price range till now.In fact some features (Remote camera,wireless keypad,music stand,broad range file format and POP port support,,,)all with symbian OS makes it a 2010 cell phone.Let me tell you a secret:I found new 6500 a really good looking phone with 6 hours talk time and 3G but it has no speaker phone ,no head set ,no symbian ,low quality video recording...and lots of thing is missing.But when it comes to 3250 my complain is about low resolution display,blocked animations,no downloadable games,slow reaction in some cases,no flash,and QCIF is ok for a 2 MP camera. On the other hand D900 looks good but handling files,sending SMS,using SD Card and some strange limitations(changing ring tones...) is not as easy as 3250 due to lack of a good OS. Just notify if I'm right. Thnx for your comments DR Adedoyin

  • @Don Chishut Don, sarja has told you about 5300 vs 3250. I agree with the comment completely. Let me tell you about Samsung D900 va 3250. I have the two phones and they are great phones. If music is your love, go for 3250. If you want a symbian phone, go for 3250. But i tell you , nothing beats D900 when it comes to beauty, romantic, and ellegant phone. Wallpaper can be set to animate and you have a lot of support from users in D900 forum at gsmarena. It has 3MP camera with autofocus and flash; the pictures are really fantastic. 3250 being nokia has lot of support from nokia sites and lots of 3rd party softwares. Lest i forget, D900's java is limited to only 4mb and it has no theme selections. Both phones can take up to 2GB memory card. The choice is now yours thanks Dr Adedoyin

  • It's said w810 is good,I don't like that,looks cheap,bad keypad... useful comments...Thanx sarja

  • @ don, between 5300 and 3250 my choice is 3250, i myself was in doubt between this 2 this february when i bought my super 3250 xpress music black edition! 5300 is a java phone and 3250 is a high grade symbian phone. 5300 camera is not as good as mine. But,i have to say 3250 camera is better but not the best the sony ericsson w810, w800, w700, k750 easily beat 3250 at lower light, but in normal day light its great as like a digital camera! 3250 sound quality is better than them. so, i think you can go for 3250. thnX # sarja #

  • I have this phone since the end of July 2006 and im more than satisfied. A truly great phone with catchy design and such great sound quality. The only thing is that i cant set it to send or receive MMS, but i dont care...:D Its a great phone and its all i could ask from a cellphone.

  • @pradeep, yep man, its a little disgusting(network update after call and sms) . Even its a little bit slows as well. u cant do anything for this, but, for sms, do as dr adedoyin has said. I think sms accelator would increase the sms sending speed! thnX. # sarja #

  • @pradeep Download sms accelerator from nokia website and install on your phone. That should stop the sms delay problems. As to the update balance appearing on and off, please clearly specify what you mean, but i suspect it may be due to your network. You can download sms accelerator here:

  • hai am using nokia3250, its a great phone, but i have a problem, while messaging it go speed at first by keep on messaging the speed will decrease and it takes a minute to return after sending message, again am using spice sim, when ever i send a message or a call the updated balance will appear in phone, but in my phone i appears only 4 to 5 message a updated balance, but after that i have to switch off nd switch on to get the updated balance, please help me from this problem

  • What is the REAL difference between this one and Nokia 3250 XPressMusic ????????????

  • @Lemon If you must know Lemon, i bought my phone in Lagos, Nigeria. ------------ Why ppl more interested in phone version? I simply mention my version cos of the problem i have with ownskin.com themes. Does anyone have solution for me as to why i can't use themes from ownskin when others are claiming they use themes from there?

  • but when i try to update my phone via NSU...it shows tat V.4.14 is the latest version....

  • Thanks, by the way where did you bought your 3250?

  • Lemon, I think my version is the latest one. I bought the phone in first week of June 2007. Going by *#0000#, this info came on the screen: V 04.21, 16-02-07, RM-38, Nokia 3250. I take this to mean version 4.21 made on 16th February 2007.

  • is there really a version 4.21 firmware? i thought the latest was 4.14

  • hey evry1 had xams so had 2 tak a break il try 2 come bak more now @viperkid good 2 c u hav creatd ur own blog:)

  • can somebody tell me what are the advantages and disadvantages of firmware 4.21 over 4.14. i plan to upgrade my phone..thax..

  • Hi everyone, Its funny hearing everyone saying they get themes from ownskin.com and it works. It never worked for me. I've tried nearly all their themes and none able to install. I know all about this expired certificate thing and that's not the problem i get with ownskin themes. My phone keeps saying "application not compartible..." for all their 3250 themes. I install successfully from babi and pasco e.t.c. but never from ownskin. Anyone else with this kind of problem? My phone version is 04.21.

  • @mel n viperkid. thnX.with the time as feb'07,i hv installed those themes. # sarja #

  • Yes,for ur kind information, I'd like to say that u first install a software from ownskin.com and download some animated themes from there and see whether nokia and symbian can use animated wallpaper or not......hope u can do this.......

  • @Dr.adedoyin, sad but true animation can not be setted as wallpaper at 3250! Yup,its realy a grt weak point of 3250. thnX. # sarja #

  • Pls can anyone tell me if its possible to set animation pictures as wallpaper for this phone. Anytime i set it, the picture does not animate. If its not possible then this sure is a weak point for this otherwise nice phone.

  • @mel Try this and lets see if it works. Go to Tools>App.mgr. Highlight Web and go to option and select Remove. This will uninstall the browser. Switch your phone off and on again then re install the web browser.

  • viperkid, ive tried to change the date to jan 2006, it doesnt work,however changing to feb01,2007 its now ok. i can now install themes without any error "certificate expired". sarja, u can try this if u also encounter the same problem

  • thanks viperkid. i also had a problem with my web browser application. i accidentally delete the web browser by pressing C. i cant recover that apps which is very useful for me.I seach the WEB browser apps in the nokia site, but now i encountered problem. As i start the WEB application it goes fine. but when i click on the "OPTIONS", the application suddenly closed, i cant edit anymore my WEB bookmarks. hope anyone can help me...

  • please help me open my 3250 i`m giving it to my mother so i�ve gotta changer the case, help me open it. THanks!

  • mel: first, try to adjust the date on your phone to Jan 2006 or earlier then try to install d themes once again. im sure u'll b able to install those.. hop dat helps if u hav any concerns about ur phone, please visit my blog: thanks

  • @mel, i myself also facing such a problem! What ever, but few of my themes are installing and few are not. I dont think its a problem of mobile may be the themes have a time band certificate! Because,not only you but also me is facing same problem. So i think the problem is with those themes. thnX # sarja #

  • hi, my fone is great!but i had a problem in installing themes. i downloaded themes from www7.ownskin.com. this was not the first time that i download themes from that site and it was fine a few months ago, but for now an error appeared "expired certificate". can anyone help me on this. how can i have certificates?

  • This fone has good features but the cover is abit toooo weak - breaks into pieces (on it's own) High memory capacity - but slow

  • @unknown, i think your phone memory become increased. When phone memory increase it hampers the speed of the phone! Better,u transfer all ur sms to memory card and select mem card for message memory. And dont install any software at phone mem. Install at mem crd. if u hv installed so many software and themes at phone mem,its wise to delet and reinstall it to mem card. hop,tis advice wil help u. thnX. # sarja #

  • @viperkid Hmm! The silent, wise one speaks at last. Thanks for breaking your silence viperkid, and thanks for letting us into your website. Its quite a great site. Hope we would not bombard you with too many questions Thank viperkid

  • Opening of contacts (Phone Book)is very very slow not withstanding the large memory capacity. kindly advice me on how to improve the speed.

  • Thnks viperkid! congrats for making ur own blogspot for your help. thnX. # sarja #

  • hi everyone! first of all im sorry if i haven't answered some of ur questions lately. obviously, i've been very busy during d past few weeks. btw, anyone can now visit d link below i'll be more than glad to answer any of ur concerns (as long as i know d answer..). just scroll to d bottomest and drop in ur queries. thank you! PS nice work Sarja! =)

  • Thanks so much dr.Adedoyen & Sarja.

  • @teja, formate your memory card from pc. Then insert it making your phone off. Turn on the phone. hop it wil work. sometimes the mem card is defective,if so,then you cannot formate it at pc. thnX # sarja #

  • @turja, hello man. Yup 3250 is realy a great phone. firmware is the portion which links between software and hardware,so by upgrading firmware mobile company can remove the previous problem of the set! what ever,my firmware is 3.23 , and the latast is 4.14.actualy 3.23 is somehow better than 4.14,so im not planning to upgrade the firmware now! I will try it when the firmware will be 5,xx! you can upgrade firmware by 2 way. One is by your pc and a high speed internet connection. you have to download a software by clicking the upgrade software of new pc suite. Then you will download it and upgrade the software! other simple way is, if you have warranty, then go to nearest nokia care and upgrade it free! thnX # sarja #

  • its sound is good but my problem is that it is not recocnising the memory card

  • Hi, This is the worst phone i have ever owned. DON'T BUY ONE!!! Constant problems with this phone such as freezing when turning on, saying corrupt data whenever you do anything and has trouble sending sms's. Waste of money.

  • @sarja Thanks for your imput on my post. I have solved the problem. I soft formatted my phone with *#7370# after back up with nokia PC suite. I then copied back my contacts and messages, then re installed ImageEditor. Thanks all ------------------- @viperkid Whats up. Where are you. Please dont leave us when we need you most in this forum -------------------- @KANNAIAH I think you phone is network locked. In that case you can only use it with the network from which you got the phone. You can unlock i think, but thats work for those tutored in such matters. --------------------- Turja Go to official nokia website for instructions on how to upgrade your firmware. But its not so easy and your phone must have power throughout the long process. If you are not having problems with your phone i will not recommend this process.

  • My Nokia 3250 phone is not recognising some SIM Cards. When I insert 32K SIM and switch on and it opens to Offline mode and when I try to change profile the message is insert SIM Card. What to do to solve this problem.

  • @sarja, hi! Im a great fan & a user of this fone.i bought it a year ago.its a cool fone.i just wanna know whats firmware?and how it works?if its the virsion then i have 3.23 virsion.plz inform me all about firmware.where from i can download firmware? Thnx

  • @ dr adedoyin, feeling sorry for your phone condition. Wt evr, now better you consult with local nokia care. hop they could help you. thnX. # sarja #

  • Can someone please help me? I've had this fone for a little bit more than a year now and its been good. However, I've noticed that the videos after being recorded look pixalated and it shows small boxes. It's clear when recording, but bad when reviewing. THe pictures are clear though. Also when I try to look up fone numbers in my contacts, it takes a while for me to edit or look at things. Everything else is fast, but not with my contacts. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be. Thanks

  • sarja Thanks for your reply, but i've already done that. I installed through PC suite just as i did originally, but installation failed after about 15 to 20 minutes of trying to install. I also transfer the .sis file into my memory card and tried installing from there with same result. The thing just wouldn't install again.

  • @ dr.adedoyin, about image editor. Go to official nokia website of europe. Then select 3250 and go to software support, here you can download the image editor software. Then instal it at ur phone. thnX # sarja #
