While the new Ceiva frames have some unique features, after extensive product testing of both Ceiva and other competitors’ frames, Which Frame? has identified Ceiva as one of the digital picture frame brands to avoid.
While the frame itself is fine, taking advantage of the wireless capabilities is almost a nightmare. Ceiva advertises all of the wireless functions; however, once you purchase the frame, you find out you need a wireless or broadband adapter for another $40. Then, once you get that, you find out that you can sign up for a free account on Ceiva’s website. The account is free, but Picture Plan costs extra, and the account is completely useless withouth Picture Plan which costs up to $159.95 per year or $15.95 per month. There are tricks around every turn it seems with Ceiva’s frames. The box advertises 3 free months with Picture Plan, but when you try to sign up, it only offers 1.5 months and requires your credit card information for billing purposes.
Which Frame? recommends Kodak as the best brand in digital picture frames with respect to quality, ease-of-use and reliability. Please visit http://www.whichframe.com for more information.
