Nokia Announces 3250 Music Phone

Nokia 3250Mobile Burn has a few details on the Nokia 3250 (who makes up these numbers anyways?), and it looks like an interesting phone with a now over popular feature: music abilities.

Nokia has made a pair of music related announcements today. The Finnish mobile handset giant will be releasing a new music orientated handset, the Nokia 3250, which along with the N91 will be the first to include Nokia’s new music branding, dubbed XpressMusic.

Although full details are still not available for the Nokia 3250, which has been a talking point on the internet since its debut at the Nokia Trends music festival, Nokia have released a few more details.

Is is now known that the Nokia 3250 will support microSD cards of up to 1GB, allowing for storage of up to 750 songs. Music formats supported include MP3, WMA, M4A, and AAC, and songs can be transferred from a PC over USB 2.0 or downloaded over-the-air. The Nokia 3250’s design includes a twist section, with music controls on one side and a standard mobile phone keypad on the other. The Nokia 3250 will be running the Symbian Series 60 smartphone operating system, and will be tri-band (GSM 900/1800/1900Mhz) compatible. The Nokia 3250 will retail for around 350EUR (about $425USD) starting in Q1, 2006. Official pictures of the Nokia 3250 will be available later today.

  1. Seems to be a budget version of the N91 and aimed for the mass markets.

    A good alternative if you plan to buy a music phone. In terms off technical specs and features it seems to be somewhat better than the Motorola Rokr iTunes phone. The Motorola Rokr has USB 1.1 (can take up to 40 mins. to transfer 100 songs), 512MB TransFlash memory, and the iTunes software is limited to store 100 songs. The Nokia 3250 uses the Nokia Audio Manager software to transfer music files from PC to phone. This is a clear disadvantage compared to Motorola that synch with iTunes.
