Nokia 3200 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: January 2004. Updated October 2004.
The "cool feature" of the Nokia 3200 is that you can create
your own custom covers, using photos or your own design or artwork.
The Nokia 3200 has an integrated digital camera, which you can use
to take snaps, send to friends, download to your computer, or print
and use to make your own cover design. The 3200 also has a built-in
FM radio, as well as support for wallpaper, polyphonic ringtones and
Java games, making it a good all-round fun phone.
Overall the phone offers a surprisingly large range of features. Apart
from the quality of the camera itself, which is really very poor, the
only things that Nokia could have improved are the ease-of-use of the
keypad, and in common with most other Nokia phones, the poor colour
resolution. 4096 colours is not really adequate for a camera phone.
This is really a toy camera phone, and the new 3220
is a much better choice provided that you don't need the built-in radio.
Features of the Nokia 3200 include:
- High resolution display (128 x 128 pixels)
- 4096 colours
- Integrated digital camera (352 x 288 resolution)
- Custom "design your own" covers
- Built-in stereo FM radio
- Polyphonic ringtones
- Picture editor
- Predictive text input
- MMS (max 100kb per message)
- Java games + 2 built-in games
- Wallpaper
- Flashlight
- Speed dialling
- Handsfree speaker
- Voice recorder (1 minute capacity)
- Alarm, calendar, notes, calculator
- WAP/GPRS/HSCSD with
XHTML browser
- Pop-port™ interface
- Size: 108 x 45 x 21 mm
- Weight: 90g
- Battery standby: 150 - 300 hours
- Battery talktime: 2 - 4 hours
- Tri band
- Vibration alert

I thought it was rubbish when I first got it. But then I found out that
I can get plain normal covers and different buttons. The radio is pretty
cool and the games arnt too bad. But what really gets me is that you
cant have a screen saver! Its just the time. Thats real poor. I would
still rather something different but I'm stuck with it for 2 years.
hurrah. Optus wont even swap it for something different. Really invest
in something just a bit better.

its VERY much like the 7250i but has a few additional features. i'v
currently got this phone. the camera quality is like 7250i. . you can
change covers. it has voice recorder. but apart from that. its another
7250i. save money for something else. not bad though. there are better
phones available for the same price.

The buttons are take a bit to get used to, the camera is good enough
for a phone, (if u want something better buy a camera), the only problem
i have with it is that the amount of memory/storage (1.1MB) is too small,
and the fact that the radio requires the headset to be plugged in even
with loudspeaker on is ridiculous and a nuisance.

It would have been a better phone if it had a good quality image.The
memory is extremely low and no memory card to cope up with this.And
I wonder why people say they can only save 20 images when I can save
around 40 to 50 of them...To sum it all up,it has very low memory,bad
images,handy flashlight.But it's fairly good

Well its a great fone but it as some annoying little features,like only
being able 2 store 20 pics before its full,and thats without games and
ringtones! The camera is slighlty bad,it has about only 4500 colours
which is rubbish for a camera fone.On the good side its a fun,easy to
use and looks really good.One for the ages 10-13 bracket.

I had this phone for 3 months, then sold it and got a motorola v300.
The nokia 3200 is a good fun phone, more suited to the younger person,
great features, fm radio was an excellent extra, making ur own covers..great
idea for kids. The only down side was the memory and the picture quality.
So if ur big into games on ur fone or taking lots of pics then u cud
b better off looking for something else. But in general found no faults
with this phone.

The nokia 3200's camera is quite poor as it only has about 4000 colours
on it, however you can store loads of pictures on the phone. Many things,
such as the FM Radio,cut out covers + voice recorder are great. The
games are ok, though i dont really see the point of virtual me. I have
to admit, i did have to return the phone after about 6 months as the
screen had frozen, other than that i've had no problems. I would call
this phone standard - nothing special!

it shows me light - throught the flashlight. and, even better, other

I'm so sick of this phone! When first bought the camera's quality seems
so much better (Whether it really is or not, its horrible now). The
battery life just keeps getting worse and worse (I've had this phone
since Feb.). Even the Nokia 3595 has better poly ringtones. And after
being on the phone with somebody for over about 30 min. the phone will
beep 3 times and hang up on them in most cases. And the games suck.
Some of the things I have enjoyed about this phone is the interchangeable
face plates, good reception, the radio, and flashlight.

fast .. now you can easily get it below SG$100 with 2 yrs plan.. think
of changing it to either Nokia 7200 or Samsung E700A.. well.. this phone
have one feature that i really like.. and it is the torch light.. why
?? use it when there is a sudden blackout and when i'm moving at night...thought
that the idea of creating own covers is great but nono.. i'm wrong..
because the original plastic is different from the stuffs they give
you to create urself.. till now don't bother to create the covers at
all.. well.. the camera is not good in quality .. that is something
every 3200 users know.. the first batch phone really have problem man..

Ime 12 and my mum and dad got this phone because nokia lost my old phone
(3510i) when i sent it to them to be repaired! The keypad for the 3200
is harder for texting than anything else but you get used to it after
about 2 weeks. The camera quality is great when you think I got the
phone for only £10 (nokia gave me a refund for my old phone). The storage
space is a little bit poor but the great sounding poly tones and good
screen quality easily make up for that! The covers are cheap and look
great. The battery lasts an age and the reception is better than average.

- radio, loud speaker, light, to name a few. I agree that the plastic
case is somewhat tacky, and very difficult to open (need to use force
while fearing that the force might break the case), but that is fine
with me. What's more - it's affordable! Just a reminder that when you
use your recording as a ringtone, it won't mute even when your phone
is set to "silent" mode!!! And I forgot to mention that I have nice
long manicured nails and the buttons are fine with me too.

I have owned thi8s phone for about 3 months now and in general i am
happy with it. I like the fact that it has a still camera integrated,
flashlight (which after about a week you get bored of using), Edge GPRS
mobile internet is VERY VERY fast indeed, and i was attracted to the
fact that you can customise the covers into your own design. However,
unfortunately the phone does have some negative aspects, it is true
that it the key pad isn't the easiest to use, but after a week, you
do get used to it. Also, the clear front and rear fascia's seem very
easy to scratch and after taking the covers off to change the inside
picture, the covers do not hold on to the handset very well, and the
covers start to creak when the phone is in use. The camera is great
for quick pictures, but the pixel size and screen size are poor, you
can only really see the picture properly when downloaded to a pc (via
usb/infrared). Picture quality is quite good, but not great, and it
is a shame there is no digital zoom on the camera. This is, in general
quite a good entry/youth phone from Nokia, but if you are taken by a
camera phone, take a look at the Samsung E700-this has 5x digital zoom
camera, far superior colour screen and the camera is of a far higher
quality and the build of the Samsung is better. The Nokia 3200 is really
aimed at the lowest end of the market and youth.

I'm 11 and I got this phone for Christmas off my mum and dad. It's brilliant!
I bought the special cutter to make covers and I love it. The radios
great for in the car, coz the battery hardly goes down. The covers are
not cheap and tacky. They're great. And have you noticed if you move
the phone, the cover you got with it changes it's image aswell. Anyone
who doesn't like this phone must be an idiot. It's the best phone ever
and my mum and dad got it for £115, so it doesn't break the bank! The
memory isn't v big so I upload them to my computer with an old vtech
infra-red thingy! Another thing 2 do: go to ebay.co.uk and buy a nokia
DKU-5 data cable and a cd that has loads of wallpapers, applications,
game etc on it. I did. I'm glad. Buy this phone! I have 2 say tho, if
ur aged 22+ male, you may look quite gay with it. My uncle has it (thats
why I wanted the 3200, coz my uncle showed me it) and he looks stupid
wiv it. Bye!

well, when i first got this phone i couldn't believe the price of it.
I bought it for an amazing £120 and it was absolutely amazin. the radio
i feel is so clear and understandable, the cut out backgrounds for the
case are top class ideas, i got the blue one and the camera i feel is
really cool. I managed to get me and friends (about 5 of us)into 1 picture
with no problems whatsoever. This phone is the next big thing and maybe
they might make an even batter version than this phone. People out there
this is the phone for you.

Let me start out by saying which phones i have used: Motorola v60 Nokia
8390 Nokia 3595 Motorola T720 Panasonic GU87 nokia 3200 The nokia 3200
is a great phone compared to these other phones, of which some are really
expensive. i recently got a GU87 and paid 200 for it on ebayy. it sucks!
Nokia makes the best phones ever. theyre so easy to use, you can hear
who u are talking to, speakerphone is loud, rings are loud. infrared
is awesome. i get free ringtones and pics thru infrared. no downloading.
besides the fact that this phone is pretty ugly, has weird buttons,
and dust gets on the inside screen very easily, it is an excellent phone.
you cant b!tch for somethin you paid 150-200 dollars for. you pay for
what you get. now all these people complain about this phone need to
shell out $400 and go get the phone with 65K color screens and etc.
Cons: cheap plastic cover, weird button layout. i wonder if a new button
layout is possible with a change of faceplatee. if anyone knows let
me know. pakiheat77@hotmail.com

For me, this phone is still the best buy for all nokia, eventhough other
people tend to critize the looks and the design of this phone, i still
love it. I definitely agree with others that it has a cheap look and
a crappy casing. But looks dont count for me, its the inside features
that matters. In P13,000 - you already get a phone with a camera, a
radio, a voice recorder and the best thing - the flash light that is
built-in esp. that once in a while we do have brown-outs here and the
infrared which is most useful of all in exchanging pix from phone to
phone or PC. I must say that this phone is a recommends for those who
are tight in budget and dont have the money to go for a Nokia 6600 or
3650. Downside though, is has only 1mb of memory that it is not enough
to store alot of images.. i recommend that you must have a PC that has
infrared port on it so that you can upload the pics you got from the
phone to the harddisk on your PC or vice-versa. Between 7250i and 3200
- i defin itely choose 3200! lesser the price and somewhat have same
features on it... OVERALL.... i never regretted owing this great stuff!

I miss this phone so much!I have changed my unit to SE T610 hoping that
it would be upgraded but I was wrong! First, 3200 polyhonic ringtones
is the best as you can feel the beat and the whole clarity of the tones
that sounds very cool and impressive; T610 has real sounds, I think
so, but not audible even the phone prompts you that very loud tones
could damage hearing...lier! plus you cannot set downloaded tones as
your message alert tone hmmmmm... bad thing! T610 has no built in radio
and loudspeaker although its resolution is good but the picture is dim,
dull etc.. no life..exactly! We can't expect best image quality with
3200 but I think it only matches the price, its price is reasonable
for all those features (camera, radio, voice recorder, polyphonic ringtones
and a lot more...) Lastly, keypad is nice to press, very unique and
the backlight is the brightest! The bad thing only for this phone is
the cut-off covers that looks very cheap and plastic.

messages concatenated).. who says you buy this for the camera.. what
do you expect, this is a phone.. it just comes handy in case you need
one (you see ur idol in the mall).. poor thing though it has small memory...
but who needs one.. you don't have to store your history here anyway.

This phone is Brill for the price. I bought it for £150 offline and
have not regretted it since. Its customisable to the max. degree. ALthough
some people dont really care for such things it compensates with features
that are found on higher end phones. It comes with EDGE and the latest
wap browsing capabilities and so is one of the best models out @ the
mo. Only negatives are the difficulties in taking of the cover which
i suspect will get worn out in due course and also the sides of the
case which are see through plastic. If only they had made the sides
a really slick colour! Also the wierd button lay-out takes some getting
used to which may put some people off. Apart from that what more could
you want??? Radio, MMS, a DECENT (nothing special) CAmera, voice recorder
+ more. This phone probably appeals to the more fasion conscious end
of the market nokia are aiming at (i.e- students and those in thier
20's). If you think a phones a 'fashion accesory' then this is a MUST
have.

The Nokia 3200 is certainly different! With it's easily customisable
covers using photos, drawings or clipart images, this phone is aimed
at the younger end of the market. It is not for adults true but kids
will love it! Can you imagine the girls in the playground comparing
the unique look of their phones with pictures of their latest pop idols
and the boys comparing their Thierry Henry and Ronaldo covers? The camera
gives them the added fun of capturing special moments which they can
use as screen backgrounds, as the quality cannot be used for anything
more than this. By Son loves his phone and so too do his mates and I
would recommend this for the under seventeens. I would not recommend
it for adults though, as it has not be aimed or designed for that market.
Get a 6200. KJ

This phone is a really great buy.. coz its great value for money.. and
packs in all features found in higher-end Nokia's. It does have a 4096
color screen, and CIF quality camera.. so do most other more expensive
phones from Nokia like the 6220, 7250i and 7650. Why spend so much more
when you can get all the features for much lesser.. and in a brand new
Series 40 mobile? This phone is for those who believe that their mobile
is an extension of themselves.. hence its personalizable to a large
extent.

The design can't be called otherwise than youth. Transparent plastic
is used for case, cheerful graphical ornament. On the front panel the
plastic is smooth and transparent, so you can see clearly the cut-out
cover. It makes the phone look unique and original without a doubt.
It's not hard to take off both panels, meanwhile when they're on the
phone - it doesn't squeak a lot, just a little crunching whenever you
clang the phone. Each phone with exchangeable panels has one of the
two disadvantages: either it's panels are really hard to remove, or
it squeaks like an old door. No phone which wouldn't have one of these
terms on board was released yet The display is typical for this segment
and current Nokia phones. It can display up to 4096 colors, the resolution
is 128x128 pixels (28x28 mm, although the manufacturer claims that it's
27.3x27.3 mm). Five text lines and two extra lines for service needs
can be displayed at once. When the phone encounters direct sunlight,
the screen turns pale, although it's still readable. More serious problem
comes with choosing the right color theme. Your choice will not only
define the color of the menu, but the same color will be set forservice
icons during stand by mode. In my opinion, most of the variants (if
dark wallpaper is chosen) look awful, you have to put a great amount
of effort to check the network or battery status. The optimal choice
will be black indicator with white wallpaper, but this combination is
found only in one color set, but in that case the other menu items will
look crappy. You will have to find a compromise, although most of the
users will not find this problem important. Perhaps they will be right,
but this issue doesn't bring any positive thoughts One of the peculiarities
is that the ring tone sound comes from the left side, the holes are
rather big, and so the sound volume is higher than first Series 40 models
(Nokia 7210/6610). Although the volume doesn't differ severely
