Nokia 8250 Review

Size does matter!

Very few things in this world are made for small people. The things that are usually lack features or are in some way dumbed down, as if the lack of stature somehow translates to a lack of brain. I'm not sure if Nokia had small people specifically in mind when they made the Nokia 8250 phone, but it is perfect for those people who just don't need large toys.

The Nokia 8250 is about half the size of a deck of cards and weighs almost as much. It fits nicely into a shirt pocket and even fits into my pants pocket without leaving an embarrassing bulge. However, size can be an inconvenience at times. The phone is so light that I often find that I have to take everything out of all of my pockets just to make sure that I haven't lost it! An AT&T customer care representative told me that more customers report these lost than any others. (I wonder how many of the customers who report them missing later find them in the bottom of purses, briefcases, etc.!)

Because the overall size is small, Nokia had to make some compromises. The number keys are really small and close together, taking up about a 1 1/2 inch by 1 1/2 inch area. This might reduce the usability for someone for big hands, but for me and my small hands, the proportions are perfect. On the other hand, the display area is ample, especially in comparison to my LX100. The display area is sufficient for 5 lines of text (3 for messages and 2 for icons/information).

If looks could kill

The Nokia 8250 is, in short, one cute little phone. It comes in 3 colors: red, blue, and gray. I picked the red one. The advertisements for the Nokia 8250 depict a bright fire engine red phone. That's not what I got, and I have to admit that I'm pleased. The red surface of the phone looks like brushed steel, so the resulting color is more of a cranberry. The trim is black and silver, again with the brushed steel look. The overall combination is perfect for Ohio State Buckeye fans!

The keys on the phone are very different than those that I've seen on other phones. Rather than having plastic buttons that glow neon green in the dark, the keys are silver, with only the outlines of the numbers and letters on the key glowing in the dark. The effect is subtle and may not work well for those with poor eyesight, but I really like it.

The overall design of the Nokia 8250 is sleek. The antenna is internal and there is no keypad cover. I like this because there's nothing to get caught on things in my purse or briefcase. At first, I was afraid that the lack of keypad cover would be a problem, but with the use of the keypad lock, I have found that it isn't. (Much to my surprise, I am able to answer a phone call even with the keypad lock set.)

Talk to me!

Calls sent and received through the Nokia 8250 sound great. At first, I thought that I might have to yell in order to be heard, since the microphone is a good distance away from my mouth. However, that's not the case. The phone comes with a side volume control to allow adjustment, if needed. I set it once and forgot it.

In addition, my Nokia 8250 came with a headset that looks almost like a basic earphone. The microphone is attached to the cord. Again, my experience with such things was so primitive that I didn't think it would work. However, I have found that it's wonderful and the reception sounds almost better than the phone itself.
