Nokia 6233 or 3250?

Have been offered these phones as a replacement for my nokia N70 from my
insurance company..
Can anybody tell me anything that I should know about them and perhaps
advise me on which phone I should choose or maybe a phone I should request
which would be more equal in value to the phone I lost..
TIA

Well the 6233 is not a smartphone, it has 3g and quite a few problems.

The 3250 is a smartphone but isn't 3g like the N70.

So neither are equal to the N70 feature wise, if it were me I'd
request another N70 or a cash settlement if possible and put it
towards a handset I wanted.

Cheers Sam,
I was also offered a Sony Ericsson W810i and the review sites seem to have
this down as quite a decent phone.My preference is a nokia but it's becoming
blindingly obvious that Nokia just aren't making good phones anymore so I'm
thinking it could be time to make the change.. What is your current phone of
choice?
The W850i looks like a very good piece of kit...

I have a Nokia 6233, whist it has it's bugs I find it excellent for
texting. Took me a while to get use to the latest series 40 interface.

The W810i looks almost like direct competition to the 6233, if you can
live without 3g.

I agree that Nokia have lost the plot, but I can't stand any other
manufactures interfaces and handset designs personally.

If you are going to jump ship, now is a good a time as any. ;-)
