What's Hot

Design, build quality, music player, 3.5mm headphone jack, music recognition

What's Not

No 3G, basic features list, mediocre screen and camera

The Final Word

The F250 is an appealing music handset, especially considering its price. It won’t give you all the bells and whistles of more expensive phones, but it does a solid job regardless.
