T-Mobile Cameo Wireless Digital Frame comes with own phone number for $9.99 a month
By David Gonzales on 09 Nov 08If you’re one to think that wireless digital frames are great pieces of technology, then I’m sorry to say that you probably won’t go along well with me. I just can’t get myself to like those little contraptions.
However, a new model from T-Mobile has piqued my interest recently, simply because it adds one little function to an otherwise useless object in my eye. The T-Mobile Cameo Wireless Digital Frame is the certain model I’m referring to, and the extra function I mentioned is none other than its ability to support a special phone number. Doesn’t seem like much at first, but it opens up another venue for users to upload photos directly to it.
The T-Mobile Cameo will set users back $99.99 but it doesn’t come with its own number as standard. You have to pay for it, subscription-style, for $9.99 a month. Yet another way to tie customers down to a contract; great job there, T-Mobile.
Other than being a 7-inch, 720 x 480 pixel wireless digital frame, the T-Mobile Cameo supports uploading of photos via e-mail and MMS. To upload via MMS, you have to–you guessed it–send it to the “special” phone number that costs $9.99 to bundle with the frame. They’re even offering an added bonus to those who sign up for a two-year contract. Overall, it’s not exactly a groundbreaking development in the business of digital picture frames, but still a good combination of services for people who would find it interesting.
