 Very poor voice quality November 15, 2008
My old Nokia 6101, which is almost three years old, has served me well and still works like a champ. The only reason I even considered getting a new phone was because I wanted Bluetooth. The 6263 seemed like the ideal replacement for my trusty 6101.
Sadly, the 6263 turned out to be a major downgrade. The voice quality is absolutely awful. After 20 minutes of talking, I actually had an earache thanks to the shrill, harsh audio. I immediately took the SIM card out of the 6263 and put it back into my 6101, and sure enough, the 6101 was like using a landline phone -- the sound quality was perfect. Just to be sure, I put the SIM back in the 6263 and tried again, and sure enough, the sound was positively miserable.
I also noticed that the battery seemed to run down very quickly, even though I had only talked for 20 minutes. Very surprising, considering that my old 6101 still goes for five or six days between charges, and that's with at least one or two hours of talking per day.
I will say that the 6263 has a very nice screen and a comfortable key layout. If it weren't for the terrible voice quality and poor battery life, I would have given it at least four stars, maybe even five.
Nice try Nokia, but this phone is not up to your usual standards and you never should have released it.
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.
 Good phone, bad battery time, overly sensitive speaker position September 15, 2008

I like the features of this phone, but its battery time is terrible, and that's the first reason why I'm rating it low. The owner's manual says it has standby time of up to 270 hours (which is 11.25 days). However, my experience is that it lasts 2 days or less, even when the phone isn't used.
I wondered if it was just a bad battery, so my service provider swapped in a new battery, but it gave the same disappointing result. For me, this is a serious annoyance. My previous phone, a Motorola v-180, lasted 5 - 8 days, even when it was used a lot (under the same conditions as this Nokia).
My other complaint is that, every time I use this phone, I have to carefully adjust the position of the phone against my ear in order to find the spot where the sound is clear. This has not been an issue with previous phones.
Dont Buy! September 13, 2008

Have had this phone for a month. The battery life is awful and I have to dial out a call 3 times for it to go through. Also the earpiece quality is not that great and people on the other end of the call says it sounds like im in a tunnel when im talking to them. I used to always buy nokia phones buy lately they've been poorly reliable. The only good thing about this phone is the camera, but i didnt buy the phone to take pictures, i bought it to make calls.
Nothing but Disappointment September 10, 2008

I ordered this phone with great expectation. It disappointed me in every way. Just to name a few:
1. The headset fell apart piece by piece within one month. I hardly use the headset during that time;
2. The headset is 2.5 mm instead of 3.5 mm so you can't just buy a normal replacement. You have to get a special adapter;
3. After using it for a few months, the keys feel like they are ready to fall out;
4. One nice thing is that the phone is customizable, but the bad thing is that it is hard to customize. Things are hidden in funny locations of the menu, sub-menu and sub-sub menu...;
5. The Worse feature is voice command. When you entered a name, the phone tags it electronically for you. You have to say it exactly as the phone programmed it. If you want to call AAA, try a grunt!!! I have experiment with it for a few hours and I still cannot get it to dial. It is so ineffective that I don't even bother to use it. I have to dial the number or look from the phonebook... talk about hands-free driving!! (On my old phone two generations ago, I can program it to my voice and the accuracy rate is 100%! With the Nokia advance technology, the success rate is 2%. JUNK!!);
6. The volume is not very loud, it is hard to hear. Even with loudspeaker, it is very quiet;
7. The camera quality is mediocre, at best.
Conclusion: One word: Disappointing.
There are many other phones on the market. Don't even consider this one.
