Nokia Brings Back 3250 Design in the RM-250

Phonearena reports that the 3250 music phone design might be coming back. The 3250 is of course that famous Rubik’s phone with the rotating bottom so you can twist and switch from cellphone to music player. The design of the 3250 is really alien and no matter how much they flooded us in Manila with posters of the phone, sales simply didn’t take off. But Nokia thinks the 3250 idea is simply too innovative to commit to history. This FCC photo shows us that Nokia went with curves rather than a more angular look this time around. Its a quadband GSM and triband UMTS (HSDPA a probability). The back of the rotating part has dedicated pause, play and camera buttons. It’s still a straightforward way to save on an extra MP3 player, although we have yet to hear anything from Nokia or other manufacturers who love putting an MP3 player in their phones about an improved battery life for serious MP3 usage in these phones.
