The Nokia 3250 (code-named Thunder) is a cellular phone which features a unique 'twist' design that transforms the traditional phone keypad into a camera (90°CW/CCW) and dedicated music control keys (180°CCW). It can store up to 2 Gigabytes of music (500 songs) and other data thanks to a microSD memory card slot, and features a two-megapixel camera and Smartphone capabilities. It uses the S60 (3rd Edition) user interface and the Symbian OS 9.1 operating system.
The triband GSM 900/1800/1900 model started shipping in the first quarter of 2006 with an estimated retail price of 300 EUR before subsidies or taxes.
