The twistable keypad is useful but the overall styling is awful!
The colours hardly brighten up your day do they!
Why can't the phone be styled individually to set it apart from others?
Styling seems to be applied that makes it look like more brick-like, with hardly any curves. I think the styling is drab and dowdy. Is it a bad attempt at retro?

Do you really think 0.7mm deserves a mention

If it had been 0.7mm thicker than the w800 i'm positive it'd've been mentioned innumerable times by the hair-splitters. Be that as it may, it's a smartphone, blockish appearance notwithstanding. Nuff said.

No, the 0.7mm are not worth a mention or arguing about. That was not my intention. I just wanted to put a point of reference here, before one starts to complain about its thickness
In short, it's just normal.
Anyway, I think it looks very UGLY, and the colors are awful.

Do you think Nokia are going down the wrong path too.
I think the handsets are over styled with that Nokia-esque look, a bit too much.

I believe that the design is particualrly clever and the styling is far better than any SE have so far managed to think up. No matter how much i love my p910i it doesnt change the fact that its a pretty ugly piece of kit. The colour scheme is far from exciting, but not everyone likes the obcene look of the w800, or the boring appearance of the s700.

3250 is the heir of 3230 that I didnt like either, though it was relatively better looking.
Yeah, I could agree that they are going down the wrong path here. They have some neat looking phones, but this one clearly ain't one of'em.
I expect a music phone to look trendy, modern and not overdone...
While
has found a clear identifier -which one could question- for their music phones, Nokia is still looking for that... and at the moment, a bit in the wrong direction.

1) I hope the comera has a cover.
2) It's not that bad looking but doesn't it look too much like the N70? If you don't see the swivel, that is. I can understand the swivel for the camera, but for music buttons, I just don't see the need. I'd put the music controls on the side or top anyday.
3) If it it were a 6xxx series I wouldn't worry about build quality, but going by the index and its predecessor the 3230 I'd like to here some real feadback before putting a judgment on it.

Thats just what I am talking about.
It was predicted that music - orientated handsets would be massive in 2005 and some manufacturers have managed to capitalise successfully, by restyling and rebranding in order to set their music handsets apart from normal phones - (
would have been silly not to utilise the Walkman brand.
Like you said above, you would expect such a device to look hip and fun - just like music is - however these attributes seem to have escaped Nokia with this device.
