3.0 out of 5 stars not as sleek as I expected, December 10, 2008

This review is from: Coby 1.5-Inch Digital LCD Photo Cliphanger DP152BLK (Black) (Electronics)

I just got this one and played for a couple of hours.
My general impression is that it just does the job.
It is my first experience to use a portable photo frame with affordable price and I think I expected too much from this device.

Pros :
1. cheap $20 bucks with shipping
2. it works ok.

Cons :
1. I missed it is 0.5 inch thick. I imagined it would be like ipod from the photo on the product page.
2. Color is not vivid. They must have used a low priced LCD.
3. Interface is not graphical. It has a menu of text. I felt like it is a Linux box.
4. Photo management software is not intuitive. I am ok, but I don't expect all people will figure out what to do easily.

Generally it is ok for low price. But if you expect apple-like quality, you may be disappointed.

This review is from: Coby 1.5-Inch Digital LCD Photo Cliphanger DP152BLU (Blue) (Electronics)

Picture is very nice. My only issue with this device is that it only accepts .bmp files as pictures.

2.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, buy poor LCD., July 29, 2009

This review is from: Coby 1.5-Inch Digital LCD Photo Cliphanger DP152BLK (Black) (Electronics)

I bought this as a present and one for myself. While playing with that I noticed the following (that might help deciding to buy it or not)

Pros:

1. Its (relatively) easy to set it up and to upload photos to the device (in Windows XP), but software is not that intuitive and don't expect much from the manual. From the manual I noticed that the MAC software looks better.

2. It charges via USB cable from your computer. So no batteries are needed.

3. The device interface is not graphical, but its intuitive and really easy to use.

---------------

Cons:
1. I sort of expected it to be with poor LCD (from the comments), so Im just confirming that. Yes it has a poor LCD, pictures doesn't look as bright as in the product image, its faaaar from that.

2. It's thicker than it looks in the photo and the ring is made of plastic (like the rest of it). Your first impression is like you're carrying a toy.

3. Even though it called "Coby DP152BLK 1.5-Inch Cliphanger Key Chain Digital Photo Frame (Black)", it might be more suitable to hang it on a backpack, rather than with your keys.

4. It shuts down after some time. I really dont get this, is it a feature or a fault. I did the full charge of 4 hrs.

5. My "Next" button is hard to press, and I don't know if its just me.

---------------

Info (also consider these before buying):
1. The software crops your photos into a 1.5 inch square, but at least it doesn't stretch them down. Not suitable for wide photos.

2. Nice features like the clock and the calendar (I use a PDA for that, anyway). But what about when the device is turned off (which happens automatically)?

3. The photo looks ugly (that was my first impression) with the current photo information on it (like 3/60, in red), but it fades away after one second. I noticed when I set the Auto Slide Time = 30 seconds. Anyway you get used to it, cause it stays there just for 2 seconds.

4. Slide show animation is not consistent (sometimes pictures fades, sometimes slides away, some times dissolves with squares), but you can still live with that. :)))

5. Cant really tell if it's fully charged or not, but its not like you will need to know it.

4. Relatively cheap. (relatively)

-------------
All in all, it's interesting to have around, but if I could still choose, I wouldn't buy it. But that's just me.
