The '''Nokia 3250''' (code-named '''Thunder''') is a [[mobile phone]] running [[Symbian OS]] v9.1 ([[Nokia S60|S60]] 3rd Edition), announced on 26 September 2005.<ref>{{cite web |title=Nokia 3250: A music phone with a twist |url=http://company.nokia.com/en/news/press-releases/2005/09/26/nokia-3250-a-music-phone-with-a-twist |publisher=Nokia |access-date=13 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141228192205/http://company.nokia.com/en/news/press-releases/2005/09/26/nokia-3250-a-music-phone-with-a-twist |archive-date=28 December 2014 |date=26 September 2005}}</ref> It features a unique 'twist' design that transforms the traditional phone keypad into a camera (90° CW/CCW) and dedicated music control keys (180° CCW). It was marketed as a music phone and can store up to 2 gigabytes of music (500 songs) and other data thanks to a [[microSD]] memory card slot, and features a two-megapixel camera as well as other smartphone capabilities.

The triband GSM 900/1800/1900 model started shipping in the first quarter of 2006 with an estimated retail price of 300 EUR before subsidies or taxes.
