people dont get this piece pf cheap crap. I had this phone before so listen to me only this is trusted. Snapped in half after 2 days of light use. Horrid joystick. Twisting not functioning properly

Stay away from this and consider nokia n73 plus the nokia 3250 is out of date innit

thanks

    sk..:
    nope, u don't hav to remove ur microSD wen upgrading ur firmware. don't worry it wil not get erased (except for folders dat u made on d gallery, but still, contents of said folders wil not get deleted, dey wil juz b back on d root folder [e.g. images, videos, sounds, et al)


    Milind:
    d fellow hu told u dat is juz inventing or he/she is juz unaware dat 3250 is running on d new S60 version 9.1 unlike previous versions, with dat in mind, apps/games (except java and flash lite games/apps) made for N90, N70, 6630, 7650, 7610, 3230 and d like models wil not work with 3250, N91, N73, N95, N93, N80 and other S60 ver. 3 (symbian S60 9.1/9.2 and future Feature Packs) coz of d new kernel thingy for better performance with reduced cost! 3250 is worth d price and even exceeded my expectations in its price range! excellent sound quality/loudness on both loudspeaker and earphones with cool twisting keypad which is durable enough. i highly recommend 3250, go and buy it, don't listen to biased persons, i have 3250 for over 8 months and found no problems whatsoever. juz buy at authorized dealers though..

    in this page u'll find lots of free games and apps for 3250:

    difference of d new 3250 from d old one:
    1) comes with 1GB microSD
    2) yahoo go and nokia sensor is pre installed
    3) new colors
    4) different headset color (if u buy d white one)

    i guess dat's d only difference against d old one. also, bare in mind dat both old and new 3250 version supports up to 2GB microSD cards

          Mrigank Pawar:

          V4.14 is generally a bit faster than 3.23. here r some of d changes:

          a) msging font is in bold type (for easy reading) plus, wyl scrolling down (wen reading long msgs) d background image does not get distorted anymore

          b) white balance effect on camera is finally solved!

          c) smoother digi zoom both on still and video modes!

          d) no need for SMS accelerator (as for my experience..)

          e) new theme wil b installed named "together"

          f) pressing "c" on an application or game uninstalls it

          g) music quality on my plugged A4Tech MK-620 got even better (d sound is more loose, i can hear guitar chords and background sounds clearer with same settings!)

          h) re going to msging wyl listening to music, in V4.14, it became faster, around 15 - 25% only though..


          Steo:
          best thing to do is go bring ur 3250 to ur neareast authorized nokia service center



          Right:
          to reset ur passcode, try this:

          press *#7370# and key in 12345 wen asked to soft format d phone memory

          or if dat doesn't work, try this:

          press *#7780# to hard format ur phone

          NOTE: all ur data on ur phone memory wil all get deleted especially d latter procedure so make sure u backup ur data using nokia's utility backup or by using data transfer mode

              i been using this phone for almost a month, only 3 complains, a 2 MP camera NEEDS a flash light, it doesnt work with iCal and the surface turns to get dirty easily. by the way the design works great! and the speaker is pretty loud

                            @aimee: you could upgrade or reinstall your firmware. maybe that will solve your problems. you can get the software upgrader from the official nokia website

                                    im hoping that there's someone who could help me here with the problem on my phone. I bought my phone last august of this year. Nearly 2 weeks later, my phone started to experience fluctuating signal on any network that i used. Sometimes (or most of the time) I dont bring my phone with me if I go to the office or hang-out coz its antenna is too sensitive (it automatically turns off if no signal) and when I turn it on again, the files in my gallery saved in my memory card gets lost and I have to re-insert the memory card to be able to get/use/view the files in the IMAGE/VIDEO/MUSIC FOLDER. I havent tried to go back to the store where i bought my phone because it's useless since they only have a 1 week warranty. It's a brand new phone. Aside from this, my phone is too slow when sending sms and it usually hangs-up. VIPER KID PLEASE HELP.... !!!

                                        hi everyone,
                                        i was actually first going for the 3230, but after reading the reviews was shocked n changed my mind, but its just been like 24hours with my new love 3250, n im rally happy with it,
                                        the only problem is tht its to shiny and very slippy, n the finger prints ever stay every where in the phone. but the best thing is its key pads. i just like the grip in the keypads.
