 Great idea, terribly executed May 19, 2008

The problems with the eStarling frame are almost to numerous to name, but I'll try to highlight the main reasons to avoid purchasing the frame:
- Consistently drops -- or, most often, doesn't connect at all -- to the WiFi network.
- When it does connect, fails to download images
- Displays images on the device's memory at the incorrect resolution
- Terrible UI
All in all, an expensive rip-off.

I've purchased 2 eStarling frames. I purchased the first one from Thinkgeek in December 2007 as a christmas present for my parents and received a model (version 1) that was widely documented to be defective. The frame never worked and I returned it losing shipping costs.
While I was researching problems with the first frame, I read reviews that version 3 of the frame had fixed the problems with the earlier models. So, I purchased another frame directly from eStarling.
This version of the frame looked a lot better (no external wireless antenna) and worked the first time I turned it on. However, once I turned it off it never worked again.
I'm a technology professional with over 15 years experience hacking my way through poorly documented and flaky software and hardware and this product is difficult (if not ultimately impossible) for me to get working.
Tech support from the company is bad. After trying everything I could think of to get the frame working, I emailed eStarling tech support. Here is a sample of the style of their responses:
"That's really confused we haven't ever heared this before. Can
you please check if any settings of your router you setted conflict
with your frame?"
This just isn't professional or helpful.
As much as I want this frame to work, it doesn't. Unless you're a networking device guru who enjoys a challenge, I'd stay away from this company and their products.

The only irritation was that I did not get WPA encryption to work
so I had to reset my wireless to WEP. Other than that, the frame
works as advertised. Email uploading of photographs or directly
from the cell phone works without glitches.
eStarling Frame = HORRIBLE March 2, 2008

I wanted to use this product for simple non-wifi picture display but it would not function as designed.
After hours spent deciphering and following cryptic email instructions they asked me to upgrade the firmware.
After following the upgrade instructions the frame still does not work and now the functions of the buttons are reversed!
They have refused to send a new item or repair this item. They are now suggesting that for $100 more they will send me a new model as mine is discontinued! Outrageous...why would anyone part with more money to replace a non-working product from a lousy company?
Their software quality is poor and their so-called tech support follows the same standard.
Terrific and very fun product! January 25, 2008

We bought the frame for grandparents. It has been awesome for them! No glitches at all. We set it up with a standard Linksys WiFi system and it was off and running. A distant daughter gave birth and grandparents were receiving pictures during delivery. Very cool! It is also great to be able to go in and remove pics they no longer want on the frame. Thank you estarling.
