I always go to the worst reviews, and generally find them simply to be whining. In this case, I have to agree. I've spent hours with this and can't get an image up. Extremely disappointing; sending it back tomorrow and buying a SONY, which I hope will fare better.
Philips 9-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Metal) November 28, 2008

Firstly, I've owned this product for 1 month now, and this product has been running for 1 month now without my touching it. So rest assured that this isn't your overnight overly excited review.
----> Pros:
1) The physical construction of the frame is beautiful, sturdy and solid. You will find no creeks on this frame, and the metal-frame itself is a real eye-candy, if you're into that sort of the whole futuristic white-metal look.
2) The screen is very good, as others have pointed out. It's not as great as a HDTV screen, but it's definitely good enough to give the impression under broad daylight that it actually is a frame holding a picture.
3) I actually found the use of the user interface (UI) to be particularly simple. I believe as long as you keep your mind open and not try to compare the UI to anything, you will quickly find out how easy it is to navigate through the menus.
4) (MINOR) I consider it to be an upside when Im not forced to have to use the supplied program that came with the frame. When it comes to tech-stuff, I like to do things the manual way, so I'm not sure about you.
----> Cons:
1) (MINOR) The build of the buttons and joystick could have been a little better. There are minor annoyances when navigating throughout the UI. For example, if you're moving the stick left, it records as a push down on the stick instead. This is also due in part to the fact that the joystick is at the back and you cannot properly coordinate your joystick-push actions. It's really minor, nothing to get upset about, take my word for it.
2) In a month of use, under certain SD cards, the slideshow would stop working. The SD card would not be read in the slot (SD card was a 1 GB Sandisk). I had to physically restart the product in order to get it going again, only to have this happen again after 20 ~ 30 hours of running? However, after changing into a 2GB Micro SD with the SD adapter (Made in Japan model), the frame has been running flawlessly for a month without problems, at all.
3) (MINOR) Perhaps more internal memory could have been supplied? But I'm guessing if that were the case, the price of this product would have gone up further. I put this here because it may be an annoyance for some. It is not for me though.
4) (MINOR) The turning leg-support at the back that allowed you to switch between landscape/portrait could have been designed with more angle flexibility in mind. Again, I put this here for those who are concerned. I do not find any problem with the way it is now.
Having said that, I'd like to express my tips and tricks in knowing how to effectively use this product to its maximum potential.
1) If you plan to have a lot of pictures without placing them in folders (Just the root of the card), format your card in FAT32. If not, you may not get past 250 pictures or so.
2) DO NOT USE THE SUPPLIED PROGRAM. Simply copy your photos into the SD cards or whatever it is you're using and you're good to go.
3) If you want to edit pictures, do it on your computer. Don't toy around with the pictures through the frame.
4) Don't bother with the USB cable.
5) Use Irfanview to mass-convert photos into the frame's natural resolution (720x540).
My setup:
- No folders have been used. All pictures are stored in the root position of my SD card.
- It is set to turn on for 8 hours a day, and 12 hours during the weekends.
- Running time : a month of going without having to adjust it for whatever reason.
------
I hope this has provided you with some sense of how this product is. Just remember, don't use the supplied program and you will be much happier with it. I understand that the CONS are longer than the PROS, but they're mostly just thoughts on how the thing could be improved upon for future versions. For myself, I absolutely love this product.
Cheers.
 DISAPPOINTING!!!! November 25, 2008

The 9-inch digital frame is very attractive in appearance. The PowerPoint-like animation is quite nice as well. However, I am quite disappointed with the onboard rechargeable battery. I recently purchased two frames with the understanding that the battery would last about 8 hours. I needed them for a 3-day show that lasted about 7 hours each day. This model was chosen to avoid the need to run a power cable to them, due to location. The batteries lasted a maximum of about 1 hours. It was both cumbersome and very disappointing to make this type of investment only to be frustrated with a product that did not measure up to its specifications.
What a frustrating product. Phillips should be embarrased. October 20, 2008

What a frustrating product. I've had the picture frame for about a year, and I did try to research the best product. I hope this isn't the best. The frame comes with inadequate memory so you must add a memory card. The picture frame will format the card as FAT by default. That limits the number of pictures that can be stored to far below the capacity of the card. I got the dreaded error 0X80070052. Googling that error indicated that I needed to format the card in NTFS to be able to store more than about 150 pictures. It took more than 6 tries to format the card with NTFS.
Copying pictures to the card is an exercise in futility. I wanted to copy about 300 pictures to a 1 GB card. After 4 hours of slow copying and two blue screen crashes of my main computer (an otherwise very stable system), I decided to donate the picture frame to the local charity resale shop. Maybe someone with too much time on their hands will buy it and make it work. For me, I'll wait until the electronic picture frame makers make a product worth buying.

9" are actualy 8", instruction are good, the picture is crisp, however it is not compatible with Vista OS. Thus the only way to see pictures is to transfer them to a memory chip
