A solid phone for the average user.

The good: The Nokia 6263 has a simple, user-friendly design, a vivid display, satisfying call quality, and a decent feature set that includes stereo Bluetooth, a music player, and world phone support.
The bad: The Nokia 6263's user interface was rather sluggish, and it lacks voice dialing. The middle row of its keypad felt a bit cheap, and the speaker has a sensitive sweet spot.
The bottom line: With a solid combination of design, features, and performance, the Nokia 6263 is a worthy successor to the Nokia 6133.
It's clear that T-Mobile is up to something. Though it is the only major carrier not to have a 3G network (at least at the time of this writing), that hasn't stopped it from adding 3G-capable phones to its lineup. First, it was the Samsung SGH-T369, and now it's the new Nokia 6263. What's more, while T-Mobile also is the only carrier to lack a music downloading service, it's still gone ahead and introduced a couple of music-themed handsets. First was the Samsung Beat SGH-T539, and now it's (you guessed it) the Nokia 6263. Though it somewhat resembles T-Mobile's earlier Nokia 6133, the 6263 adds dedicated music controls, stereo Bluetooth, and the aforementioned 3G capability. The functional design remains minimalist but appealing, and the call quality is satisfactory. We noticed, however, that the 6263's Series 40 user interface was the slightest bit slow. The 6263 is a reasonable $209 if you pay full price, but you can get it for a reasonable $79 with service.
