If at all any phone can speak about the technological advance of the maker, it is certainly 8250 from Nokia. One of the first phone to come with an intenna (internal antenna), this phone has the reputation of being the first among the miniature phones that Nokia or any other company has brought out. It is also one of the firsts to come with an infra red port. Not only is it sleek and handy, but also features an equally user friendly UI as is the case with any Nokia model. Comes with most of the features that are a defacto standard in any high end model these days. The most useful features include page scrolling in messages, user configurable profiles, scheduler and auto word generation feature with message composer among many others. A good one to possess if one is not particular of color display. Among the demerits include very little phone memory, monophonic ringtones, cannot send ring tones, no wallpaper setting feature, no stop clock, send to many feature absent.
