    i've been using this phone for 5 months.its dissapointing because it takes too long to send a message.i noticed that this problem happens to nokia n71 and n80 as well.so i guess..phones that use symbian 9 will have this problem.maybe it has something 2 do with the OS...

      hi folks,

      I have been reading all the reviews posted and have got good solutions to tbe problems I face with my 3250. The main problem being the hanging of the phone while messaging. I reset the phone by using the *#7370# command as suggested and my messaging was working fine. Two weeks late the hanging problem occours again. Moreover, I was not able to open up the pictures shot on the phone stored under galleries once I reset the phone. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

        @Omair
        Your welcome Omair,I'm sorry for misunderstanding :)

        It looks that you can delay to change your 3230 (am I right?); If I'm right than this my thinking:
        You have 2Mpx and music with 6270,so the ideally pair is really smartphone without camera (you can look at Nokia E60/E61 or SE M600) but once again the problem is the price. But if I'm right that you can delay to change your 3230,than you can wait until their price drop to your range.

        But if you want to change right now,I advise you to buy K750i. At least you get more complete camera ability than your 3230 and 6270 and you can also have experience with the music quality from other than Nokia.I'm sure the price from K750i is cheaper and the music not too far away than W800/810 (especially if you hear it via headset).The complaint about K750i is joystick,but I think that's not a big problem.

        That's all my personal opinion,because for me it's not worthed to have 2 handset with similar ability in the same merck.

        The decision belongs to you :)
        Hope you can get the handset that can satisfy your need.

                @Omair
                What is your need that you will change from 6270?
                The difference feature from SE W810 and 3250 :
                W810 has 850 GSM, complete ability camera (autofocus, flash, panoramic etc), infra red (3250 has not) and candy bar model.
                While 3250 has symbian (because a smartphone) (W810 isn't smartphone like 6270) and PTT.
                Other features are similar.

                But the difference between 6270 and 3250 are only smartphone and the model exactly.You loose stereospeaker and flash if you change to 3250. So for me,it's not worthed if you change from 6270 to 3250.

                My personal advice,if you really want to try smartphone than better you go to N73 (because you also upgrade your camera ability besides the smartphone ability).
                Or you can try SE W810i if you want to have experience how SE phone do with music and camera ability.

                Just my opinion.

                  N70 is better than 3250 in 3 things only!!
                  1) better cam (although its 2mp like 3250)and N70 has got flash!!
                  2) it has 3G, and 3250 has no 3G
                  3) the internal memory in N70 is 35mb i guess, while 3250 is 10mb only

                  3250 is better than N70 in :
                  1) louder sound, both r 64 channels
                  2) faster than N70, and i mean REALLY faster in opening applications, u can try office suit or quickoffice on N70 and in 3250 and u will see the difference!! 3250 is much faster!!
                  3) for me, 3250 looks better than N70 in design..
                  4) 3250 can be connected to standard 3.5 jack for headphones..
                  5) 3250 is cheaper

                          Have you used the last software?Maybe viperkid can help you.

                          @toto
                          I hope, you can share your personally comments after you use the music phone from Nokia and SE. Don't forget to say which type of phone that you use and also the firmware. thakns.

                          @Mrigank Pawar
                          The taste for listening to music is individually;I think the best is you try to listen directly by yourself how this 3250 and SE W800/810 play the same music.If you have friends that use them than you can listen by yourself.
                          My opinion is software cannot replace hardware.So you cannot replace the autofocus and macromode and panoramic etc with photoeditor.That's the same that SE W800/810 cannot replace smartphone.
                          Another choice is SE K750i.It has balance quality over camera and music.
                          But of course if you really need smartphone you may choose Nokia.But if you don't need/use smartphone,nonsmartphone has faster response than smartphone.

                          One thing also important for me personally,the battery life, because I don't like if I must charge my phone everyday.

                          Please share us, if you have your new phone.
                          Thanks

                              If you want Nokia,for music,the best from them is sure N91 (via headset).But the price is also more expensive.
                              Or you can choose N73 (if you want smartphone also) or 6233 if you want non smartphone.
                              Which SE you use now? Thanks

                                      ok, if dat's wat u want. do this press *#7370# wyl on standby screen and enter 12345 (default) when asked. it will reformat ur phone's memory and b back as d first time u got it! u can format ur microSD as well if u want, but as u also know it will delete all data so backup impt data. u may get default apps/games on d support pages of nokia 3250 at http://europe.nokia.com

                                      Ash:
                                      re firmware update by ourselves, as of now 3250 is not listed in there so its not wise to install ROM from other models such as 6630, N91 etc since they have different system files... so i guess u and i and every1 hav to w8 for nokia to include 3250 in d said list

                                      sainisha:
                                      u probably been tricked by ur provider/dealer, coz u must call and test from d point wer u got ur 3250 b4 u actually buying it. i think they gave u a faulty unit. i got mine for over 5 months now and never did i experience any problems whatsoever! best thing, ask for a replacement.
