T-Mobile's Cameo reviewed: works pretty much as advertised

Don't deny it -- you're inexplicably drawn to a digital photo frame that has its own phone number. Rather than just buying blind to see if you really dig the Cameo, however, why not pore over this here review? In testing, the device (manufactured by Parrot) was said to work practically as advertised, with just a few small quirks preventing it from receiving the highest marks. Critics were able to MMS over images from a variety of rival networks, though they did have issues making the frame accept a photo message from Sweden. Overall, however, it was noted that usability was remarkably high and that the process was easy enough for most anyone to grasp. 'Course, you should probably convince yourself you're going to use the thing quite a bit before committing to a $10 per month fee to keep the $100 frame connected, but outside of that, you ought not be too disappointed.

Frame looks cheap

Why not just have the frame connect to your wi-fi network, and check a push-imap account for new email messages with attached photos? I can't imagine that anyone tech-savvy enough to have a digital photo frame won't have a wi-fi network, and receiving photos by email (or RSS feed) is infinitely more useable, considering the fact that you can easily get high-quality photos from your computer or real digital cameras to the frame, in addition to crappy cell-phone ones, since most cell phones can also email photos.

And the best part would be NO MONTHLY FEES!

[Valicore @ Nov 6th 2008 10:58PM]

Really? $100 for the frame and $10 a month? Good luck with that... I agree with Cybergypsy, it looks cheap and ugly too.

This has crank picture messaging all over it. oh the possibilities....

[ITRanger @ Nov 7th 2008 5:31AM]

And what if my jealous mistress (if I had one ... ;-) ) should use the number to send incriminating and compromising photos to?

Does this thing allow the barring of certain numbers?

I agree with Pizmoboy, anyone tech savvy has no need for this. However, it is a pretty good idea that I can see selling pretty well. Advantages over a wifi connection are that it is wireless and doesn't rely on a computer, so you could place it on a wall or with other photos.

Like a ton of other things, I think it would be used to death for the first couple of months someone would own it, then it would become forgotten. I imagine if you just graduated high school and you and a lot of your friends are going separate ways this would be a pretty awesome thing to possess, but again, only for the first couple months.

13 year old girls will be all over this, too.

I am not really convinced of this. What do the others think?
