Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
One of T-Mobile's first 3G-enabled handsets, the classic clamshell Nokia 6263 phone makes it easy to snap photos and videos on the go with the 1.3-megapixel camera and quickly upload them to your T-Mobile photo album. It's also great as a cellular audio player, with compatibility for a wide range of formats and easy-to-access playback controls on the hood of the clamshell. Other features include dual color displays, an FM radio, Bluetooth connectivity for communication headsets and stereo music streaming, speakerphone, and MicroSD memory expansion.



Discover the web from your phone with T-Mobile's fast 3G network.
T-Mobile Service
This phone operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 networks for global voice roaming. It's also one of T-Mobile's first handsets to use its new 3G UMTS/WCDMA network (1700/2100 MHz), allowing you to download ringtones and games, send photos and videos to online albums, access high-speed color Internet sites, and email quickly while on the go. Where UMTS isn't available, the handset will automatically connect to T-Mobile's EDGE network.

This phone also includes compatibility with T-Mobile's myFaves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts--on any network, even landlines--without using any of your minutes. Learn more about myFaves from T-Mobile.

Download cool new games, HiFi Ringers (real songs by today's hottest artists), MegaTones (instrumental versions of songs), and wallpapers quickly, as well as stay connected via the Web, instant messaging, and email. And share pictures and video easily with T-Mobile's My Album. You can add picture, voice, and video messages from your T-Mobile camera or video phone using the My Album link built into the send menu or by using a simple short code. You can also upload pictures, video, or sound from a home computer.



The 1.3 megapixel camera features a 6x digital zoom, dedicated camera keys and camcorder quality video.
Phone Features
The brightly colorful interior 2.2-inch TFT display has a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and offers support for 16 million colors, while the exterior display has a 128 x 160-pixel resolution and 256K colors, and it enables quick viewing of caller ID, time, battery life, and more. The durable, small and handy folding design keeps the screen and keys protected. On the front of the clamshell you'll find the camera lens as well as playback controls (play/pause, reverse, forward) for the digital audio player.

This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity and comes fully packed with a variety of helpful profiles, including communication headset, handsfree car kits, object push, file transfer, audio/video remote control, and file transfer protocol. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server. Send contacts, calendar events, and pictures/videos/voice memos wirelessly.

The integrated music player can play music in MP3, AMP, AAC, eAAC+ and WMA music formats, as well as DRM-protected Windows Media music files purchased from most online music stores on the Internet. Many widely used music software packages can be used to manage and synchronize tracks between the Nokia 6263 and a PC. It also features a built in FM radio that enables you to tune into your favorite radio stations. The media player provides full-screen video playback on the phone to view downloaded, streamed, or recorded video clips in larger size. Supported formats include .3gp and .mp4 file formats, MPEG-4 video, and H.263 video. Other features include selectable skins for changing the look and feel of the music player, support for playlists, and album graphic display.

In addition to SMS text and MMS multimedia messaging, this phone incorporates Nokia Xpress audio messaging, which allows you to personalize messages in a spontaneous and creative way. By using a specially designed menu, an audio message can be recorded and sent with only a few clicks of a button. Xpress audio messages can be sent to all MMS-enabled GSM handsets, and can also be shared with multiple recipients.

2.0 out of 5 stars Horrible voice quality through the earpiece, January 15, 2008
By Sean (Colorado) - See all my reviews
If the voice quality was acceptable this would be a very nice phone and get 4 stars. I got my phone and immediately noticed very poor voice quality through the earpiece. The external speaker in contrast has nice sound when it is up to about half volume and has noticeable, but acceptable, distortion above that point considering the very small size and impressive volume.

I went to the local T-Mobile store and they agreed that it seemed like a manufacturing defect was causing the poor audio quality in the earpiece. Amazon quickly sent me a replacement while allowing me 30 days to return the first phone they sent. The new phone has the exact same issue. A high pitched whine, some static, and clipping of loud voices. I have owned several other older Nokia phones that had very good voice quality. This is a real disappointment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the worst battery life ever, September 23, 2008
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. The battery life is just a big joke and T-mobile should be ashamed for releasing such a piece of crap. In all complete seriousness this phone lasts about a half hour on a full charge if you use it, about 8 hours on standby. I charge this phone every day and it still doesn't last a whole day, and I hardly use it. Great phone otherwise, having it plugged in and tethered to the wall the majority of the time overshadows anything good about it. What a disappointment, will never look at another Nokia phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Well For Me, February 1, 2008
By compassrose (Aiea, HI USA) - See all my reviews
I have had this phone for a month and really enjoy it. I have wide fingers and the keypad fits them perfectly. Texting, although not QWERTY, goes quickly. The screen is extremely bright and clear, even in bright sunlight. The external speaker has limitations (to be expected in a handset so small) but I always use headphones to listen to music. Good quality there. External speaker works quite well for voice calls. I had no problem with sound quality through the phone's earpiece. I'm glad I bought this phone.
