Does this phone....
My husband just bought me the new Nokia 6263. Although we both work in the wireless industry, we have no idea about this phone![He works for Alltel and I for AT&T]. Does the Nokia let you use your MP3 songs as a ringtone? If anyone knows, PLEASE let me know! I cant find any good ringtones on t-mobile and I dont want to sign up for Jamster or a site like it. Thanks!! 😁
It does... but you should get it flashed on iunlock.com
😁
My husband has one of these phones and it has not been easy to figure it out but once we got it he love the phone now. Yes you can use songs as ringtones.
I would suggest to READ your manual. The both of you work with 2 different cellphone companies. Look before you get a new phone do some research I always start here at phonescoop,then proceed to the phones website,then the carriers website,then google...

Internet Sharing?
I currently have a T-Mobile Dash and I am able to connect it to my laptop to surf around on the internet. I was wondering if that is possible with this phone? If so, how do I make it happen? Thanks. 😉

I dont get it...
Why would Nokia make a phone that doesn't vibrate??
mine vibrates perfectly fine.

Ear piece
Perhaps it is just my phone, but does the ear piece on this phone just downright blow? It is very tinny sounding. Anyone else's like this?
😛
yea my husband has one and it sounds the same way. He will not even use it cause when he is around all the heavy equipment at work he can not hear the music anymore. I got him a bluetooth and he can hear out of it well....

Font Colors
Is there a way to change the colors of the time and date and stuff on the main display and the mini display cause black isn't really working out with my wallpaper

Not too sure about this phone....
I really dunno what to do, but I have 23 more days to decide. After that it's too late to return this phone back.
I hate the way T-Mobile cripples the firmware, this phone has some very annoying habbits thanks to T-Mobile and so far there is no way to unbrand it, and as far as I can tell, there might never be a way. Why does T-Mobile have to dumb down an otherwise cool phone?
I got this phone cuz my unbranded 6133 died, but I'm thinking I might just get that repaired and return this phone for now.
Any ideas or suggestions?

3rd party apps
Does anyone know if you can have data access from 3rd party apps on this? such as google maps or opera mini? I know they disabled the ability on the 6133. You were able to download and install but not allowed to retrieve data.
Thanks
yes you can. see: http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_6263-reviews-22 23.php

NO ALARM?
I read on here there is no alarm? Is this true or is it a typo? I dint look any further lol so just wondering if anyone can just let me know. I have the 6133 just got it yesterday and its good so far.I GOT IT FREE TOO!! LOL.. I am just getting use to T-mobile because I just signed yesterday. I have a few concerns and I am a little bit nervous because I changed..lol..I still use my Verizon phone because I refuse to pay the cancellation fee. I am on my family's plan and I will take advantage of the free talking between the family till my contract is up.
If there is no alarm I wont switch it. How could they make a phone with no alarm? lol..Since I am still trying out my 6133 and I know some of you have upgraded from this phone does anybody ...

I just sold this phone to my friend, and he almost didnt get it when I told him there was no alarm. Rather than trusting that the specs on this site are 100% error-free...I decided it might be a good idea to check the box!
It's clearly written on ...

FYI: US-only 3G phone
The phone is listed as WCDMA 1700 / WCDMA 2100. This is kind of correct, but not really. 👀
T-Mobile US's 3G network band is Band IV (four) which is spaced out so much that it uses two bands (1700MHz and 2100MHz), but this is not the same as saying it can work on 2100MHz, known as Band I (one) and used in Asia and Europe. This phone only works on 3G in the US.
No, my understanding is that this phone does support WCDMA 2100 for roaming in Europe and Asia.
You're right. I've made the correction. Thanks!
We were misled by Nokia's own spec sheet, which said it supported "1700 and 2100" bands. However we just double-checked and indeed they only meant it supported T-Mobile 3G. It does not support Europea...

I heard this phone wouldn't work on AT&T's 3G network. Is that true? What frequency and protocol does AT&T use for 3G? Thanks.

Can This Phone Browse Files on other bluetooth phones?
I think its called FTP-client not sure.
Thanks.
If tmob adds 3G will that increase the coverage for tmobile?
I want to know when tmobile adds a 3G band will that increase the coverage for tmobile cuz ya know tmob isn't known for there rural coverage.
most likely it would be rolled out over their current coverage.
Not really. T-Mobile is already rolling out 3G (WCDMA) and will light it up in select markets a little at a time when the feds give up the frequency T-Mobile paid for a year ago. The buyout (not merger) of Suncom will improve coverage in those areas.3...

Why can't at&t get a phone like that?

the 6126 is kinda like that.
