Review of Nokia 7250 - Triband GSM w/camera

Posted by michael on Sunday March 9, 2003 @07:50AM from the things-to-fidget-with dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The new Nokia 7250 is out. Small, very cool looking phone that even has a built-in camera. 3 page review with 6 pages of photos, including a photo gallery of images taken by the 7250 itself - with some human help, of course."

To me, that looks ugly. by Anonymous Coward · 2003-03-09 07:53 · Score: 3, Funny

It looks more like a remote control than a phone. I generally don't look at remote controls as cool.

  Flamebait indeed. The true factorization is:
  
  7250 = (1+i)*(1-i)*(1-2*i)^3*(1+2*i)^3*(2+5*i)*(2-5*i)
I'd rather have a pager by tcd004 · 2003-03-09 08:00 · Score: 3, Funny

with a built in phone. I wonder if this phone takes photos.

Still, I prefer pagers. They don't cause brain cancer.

(P.S. Did you realise there's a $10,000 Nokia cellphone made in gold with encrusted diamonds.. not bullshitting, seen a number of stories about celebrities buying them. Anyone know what they're called?)

Vertu. I believe it is Latin for "person with too much money." I mean, that is like Krusty the Clown-level conspicuous consumption.

It seems a great deal of money for something that you can easily leave in a cab.

People who can afford to drop that kind of coin on a frickin' mobile phone do not take cabs very often, more like limos.

I'd be more worried about dropping the thing. For $10000, it had better detect sudden acceleration due to gravity and trigger an onboard anti-gravity field generator to stop the fall.

I know the keypay would be less than optimalk, but i don't want a huge phone.

Given you're having problems with a conventional keyboard (as far as I know) perhaps you're being over optimistic.
Please, people! by x136 · 2003-03-09 11:10 · Score: 2, Funny

Whoever it is out there that keeps saying "Could Nokia phones get any uglier?", PLEASE STOP! You see what happens? We get monstrosities like the 5100, the 3650, and now the 7250! Please, stop speculating about how bad it can get! Won't someone please think of the children?!

Why mention Nokia on slashdot ?

Because Nokia is from Finland and so is Linus Torvalds.
