Comments and Conclusion

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

P.S.

Nokia has traditionally been using the MMC format for storage, but this phone relies entirely on microSD (TransFlash) cards. The microSD card is based on TransFlash (TM), which was developed by SanDisk in cooperation with Motorola and is the smallest flash RAM memory card format in the world.
