Having had one of these for about a week, and it had been discussed on here before so I thought I'd do a little review..

Okay, 2 min summary: More of a full function PDA with mobile phone capability than a mobile phone with extras...


Okay, feature list:

Integrated Camera, image viewer and photo gallery
Streaming video and video player for downloaded clips
MP3 player and polyphonic ring tones
MMS, text + pics and sound, e-mail with attachements and viewers
WAP and cHTML browsing
12Mb internal memory plus 16Mb on a memory stick (included)
Contacts with photos, calender and full PC synch
Bluetooth, infrared and USB
pJava and java CLDC/MIDP for addtional applications

I could spend ages explaining the features of this phone, and what it can do... basically, it can synch with your PC, you can upload apps and games (like Men in Black 2). It has a 'flip' keypad, which hides a full length colour touch screen..

The only problem is... if you want to call someone from your phone book, it'll take 2 mins to get through the menu system! (you have to select phone mode, then contacts, then contact list.. then you can call them)...

You will need to spend a week with the instruction manual next to the phone to use it properly..

It's a great peice of kit, dont get me wrong, but it is bulky (117 x 59 x 27 mm) not too heavy (158 g) and if you carry a PDA everywhere with you, then it is a perfect alternative..

I prefer the simplicity and configurability of the Nokia 7250...

Really, it's horses for courses..

Thanks for the thoughts-I currently have a Nokia 7650 and was considering the change,but I don't think I'd ever use all the bells and whistles!!

I have been leaning this way for a while.

having chased the all singing all dancing phones for ages - all I look for now is one that makes phone calls, and has bluetooth / GPRS for mobile internet access.

have had phones with WAP, email, internet etc - and never used it.


GPRS and bluetooth for internet access on iPAQ and laptop is a must though

Check the Sony Ericsson T610, this one replaced my T68 two weeks ago and it's a blast.

I have been looking at it - as I am getting fed up with my T68 - its just so slow to work through menus etc.


but - work with a guy who has one - and it is just as slow

I have got P800 as well, and personally think it is a good phone (bit bulky) but that is expected due to number features. The camera quality is quite poor compared to Nokia's but as long you are not too bothered about clarity then it is liveable

Mat, having both in hands, check it again, the 610 is definitly faster, easier, and way coolest than the T68i, same size, aluminium design box, good camera feature, better reception (at least with french Orange), maybe a bit less autonomie, and a very good price comparing with Nokia or else.

I think the 7250 has bluetooth?? dunno,

I might post a review of that one too.. cos its a damn good phone..
