for dictionaries, i didn't even try, coz most of them are larger than 1M, that means they are not even downloadable or installable. :(

> In reply to Beyle Tabgach @ 2008-08-06 01:14 from xf7GSorry, I forgot to say something. Although the phone itself is quite disspointing, T-Mobile's return policy has made me satisfied. Customers will get the contract extension cancelled, qualified for more phone upgrades, just as if nothing happenned to the account as long as the return session is over (2 weeks). Also, a $10 credit will be added to your next bill as a compesation for the return postage.

Honestly speaking, the custume service of T-Mobile is much much better than some of their "new phones". :)

I got a Nokia 6263 from T-mobile as an upgrade. However, I just returned it through UPS 4 hours ago. Since I got outrageously dissapointed, I will list the Cons before the Pros.

Cons:

1. Short battery life. Battery died in two days after a full charge, no call was made during the two days, neither any Java applications (e.g., games) were used.

2. The back cover is very diffcult to open, you have to use both hands to push badly.

3. The Java only accept applications with the size under 1M. This is even less convenient than my old good Moto RAZR V3. I have a Bible in JAR format on the V3, which is 1.4M. The 6263 rejected the Bible when I tried to install it by the Nokia software suite, the error message is, "application is too large".

4. Accroding to the Nokia-US official website (http://www.nokiausa.com/A4678175), the 6263 contains "language packs for E, LTA, APAC and China". However, in this T-Mobile version, only English, French, Spanish, Portugese, and Italian (or maybe German, I don't remember exactly), were support.

Pros: The USB port is "Mini-B", this is much better than the phones with propertiery ports. At least you probably don't have to buy a cable for this phone, existing cables for your MP3 player might be able to do it.

Well if this phone wasn't a free backup for me from tmo i would have passed (i'm a SE guy, 3G or not since TMO has to be packard bell specific). It's a nice phone and all but i would have never spent money on it.
I'd rather spend money on a N82 or the K850i I have, but still, it's plenty perfect as a backup.

Good phone if it's your first phone and you're clueless as to how badly companies lock down phones. You'll love it even more after the recent firmware update that NSU put out. Thank god for that, now I can use 3rd party apps on Tmo.

I had 6103. was much better in battery performance and picture quality. Although 6263 has 1.3 MP, the picture quality isn't satisfactory.i had high hopes. very poor battery performance. the music quality on the speaker is average. Only good thing i think is the looks. Main display is hard to read under sunlight. looks like i made a bad choice.

Does anyone know if this phone when the flip is open, is supposed to display a white screen on the outside external screen? Most phones will display a company logo....but this phone displays just a white screen.

I just got this phone and I like it alot so far. The battery only lasts me about a day but I use the music player, radio and text and voice a ton during the day. People are complaining about the audio quality but it actually isn't that bad , I have however noticed the hiss noise but I've gotten use to it since I've had the phone, I think it's because the speaker is so loud, when I turn down the volume a bit I can't hear it all. Reception A+ however I live in a metro area.

It's impossible to find a light, durable clamshell phone with a long battery life. This is the closest thing I've found. Battery improves to about 4 days using GSM, it has decent resolution and Nokia software is by far the best. Reasonably priced ~AUD$350.

I bought my 6263 in January and overall it has been ok. The voice clarity could be better, but it has some nice features. My battery life has been ok as well, generally I have to charge it every 3 days. I send a lot of text messages daily. When I use it to talk a moderate amount, send text messages, and use the music player, then it has to be charged more frequently - every 1 to 2 days depending on the hours of use. As far as reliability goes...mine quit working tonight. It's about 3 months old and has been handled with care. I've got to visit the T-Mobile store tomorrow. It's got a 1 year warranty so hopefully there won't be a problem getting a replacement.
