No speakerphone & LOTS of display errors

No speakerphone & LOTS of display errors

Officer Wes from San Diego, CA USA

I was so wowed by the look I picked it up off the shelf and bought it. My first disappointment was discovering it had no speakerphone. My biggest disappointment is the photo errors mentioned in other reviews. I'm a well-experienced computer builder/trainer and even with my background there is no discernible pattern to why some pictures work fine and others don't -- even within the same batch. The PhotoFrame sits on a shelf in the living room and at night, watching TV, the error message sporadically flashes with an all-white background. Very very disappointing. If I hadn't tossed the box I'd return it. Read more

Photo Feature Doesn't Work

Photo Feature Doesn't Work

Cheri A. Moe from Amazon

In theory, this is a great product. However, after several tech support calls and an email, I will be returning this phone for replacement. On both occasions, talking with Tech Support was PAINFUL. Their support is outsourced and both techs kept offering canned responses. I honestly don't think either one of them had a clue about what I was talking about. On my 2nd call, after telling the tech TEN TIMES that the problem was not my memory card (tried using multiple cards) or the photo (all photos on card were jpg), she finally said yes ma'am, I can see the problem is the phone and not your memory card and we can replace that. Here's what happens: The phone displays one of my pictures, then I get an error message stating the format (.jpg) is unsupported. I also can't get any photos to fill the screen. These are all high res jpgs taken from my canon digital camera. Read more

Great Concept - Bad Design

C. Cantrell from Amazon

Just not a lot of good things to say about this phone. The phone looks great but when it comes down to funcationality, it leaves a lot to be desired. Lot of random static, buttons are hard to work (too recessed) and the phone lcd interface is poorly designed. Read more

Fun phone

J. Goldberg from San Francisco, CA United States

I was a little nervous purchasing this product based on the negative reviews, but I've been pleasantly surprised since getting my photo phone last week. It is solidly built and looks quite nice hanging on my wall. I've found the programming features of the frame to be both easy and intuitive. I've had no problem with static on phone calls and only a few minor hiccups uploading photos. There were a couple of images that refused to load, but I noticed that they could not be view by my computer's photo editing program either, so I can't really fault this product. I would say that the quality of the photo frame is not quite as good as other digital frames I've seen, but reasonable given what I paid. My only substantial complaints are with the phone itself. I find the LCD display hard to read due to poor contrast and a thick plastic window. I'm not crazy about the flush buttons and I find the usage a bit unintuitive. Also, programming the phone is kind of a hassle, but not really … Read more

If you can find it cheap, it is a good buy

Jazz Fan from California

I got this phone/frame for $40 thinking that similar sized frames alone often cost much more than that. It does what it says it will do. The photo frame is easy to set up and use. I don't know how many pixels the screen has - only that they are fairly noticeable close up. It is clearly not as densely packed with pixels as other screens I own such as a 4.3" GPSr or a digital camera. At normal viewing distances however, the resolution is acceptable. Phone is okay although the recessed buttons are a little hard to use. There are a couple of key features that this unit is sorely lacking. One big annoyance is the lack of a speakerphone function. While the photo slide show can be programmed fairly easily, it would be nice to have a single button to turn it on or off. For the money that I paid, the phone is a nice combination. Read more
