What phone are you thinking of getting?
Im not sure if the 7250 has a separate Memory card. If is does then the pics could be stored on either the phone or the card, depends on what is selected as the default. If it does have a card and the pics are on the phone, I should think they can be transferred onto the card, then the card put into the new phone.
Also, most Nokia phones either have Bluetooth or Infra-Red. The pics can be transferred this way. Although the 7250 perhaps hasn't got Bluetooth?? The later Nokia's such as the 7610 dont have Infra-Red!!! So that may not be an option.
If the pictures aren't private and you buy your phone from somewhere like Carphone Warehouse, Im sure they would transfer all the data for you.
Hope this helps in some way!!
