Look deep into the eye of the T-Mobile Prepaid Nokia 2760. :)

This attractive blue T-Mobile prepaid phone has a prominent eye remind you that it was a video-capable camera phone. In fact the 2760 was one of the first prepaid camera phones that was able to take video in addition to still photos.

Camera

In the end the camera is still only VGA quality, which is okay for sharing picture messages and maybe for sending in quick emails. If you don't have another camera handy, it may do the trick.

(The Virgin Mobile Cyclops had a similarly prominent eye, but it has a 1.3 megapixel camera.)

Taking Video

You can take short videos of up to 15 seconds in length. This limit is placed by the size on the on-board storage. Still, 15 seconds is just long enough for a quick round of "Happy Birthday" or "Hi Mom. I love you!".

Here's a sample video:

Bluetooth

Bluetooth capability is another area where the prepaid Nokia 2760 was a little ahead of its time. You could now use a wireless Bluetooth headset with your phone, though, ironically, a wired handsfree headset is included in all T-Mobile prepaid starter kits.

One nice way to use the headset is to listen to the FM Radio

Some Basic Features

Amongst the other features worth mentioning are:

Photo Caller ID

You can associate a pic with each contact in your phonebook.

Instant Messaging

In addition to standard text and picture messaging, you could also do instant messaging though you would be charged for the data.

Productivity Tools

There's a alarm clock, calculator, and calendar to keep you on time and on your toes.

Battery Life

You get 3 hours of talk time and about 11 days of standby time. The standby time is okay, but the talk time could be better if you plan on signing up for a plan with unlimited mobile-to-mobile or unlimited nights and weekends. Still, do you really want to spend more than three hours a day on the phone?

All in all the Nokia 2760 is a good phone for occasional use and was one of the ways in which T-Mobile made good on its promise to Get PREPAID without getting BURNED!
