Nokia launches 6263 at T-Mobile

Yet another phone release just in time for Christmas. Nokia have just announced their latest addition via T-Mobile. The new, folding 6263 includes a 1.3 megapixel camera, e-mail capability and a music player. Are you asleep yet?

First thing, we are surprised at the stinginess of the camera’s capabilities. 1.3 megapixels? I guess they must have had a bunch of parts left over from a previous release and decided to use them up on this one. You would think there are enough low quality, out of focus, poor resolution photographs floating around as is. Just for a moment I imagined all those photos actually being printed on paper and wonder just exactly how many of them would go straight in the trash the moment the photographer saw them – scary. I had a 6267 ( the European model this has been downgraded from ) for a while and wasn’t impressed.

Anyway, the 6263 has all the usual features: Bluetooth capability, a 2 inch screen guaranteed to damage your eyesight and nowhere near enough memory (it comes with 512MB standard so you have to upgrade to 4 GB if you want a decent music library). According to Frank Vium, vice president of sales for Nokia, “We are excited to be working with T-Mobile to bring this compelling blend of fun and function to customers across the country.”

I can almost feel the excitement from here. If you are interested in finding out more about how excited Mr. Vium is, the press release is here.
