    im having trouble with my E398...now i am 12 but i am very much into technology/computers and phones. And i work my phone well. but when you want to change your alert style to silent or loud detail you cant change the detail of it by clcikin on loud detail and by doing this you can change things such as message ringtone, voicemail ringtone and so on. but when i click on change loud detail mine just goes back to the wallpaper screen. The same with soft detail, vibrate detial and vibrare then ring detail. What has cuased this? Does anyone have the same problem?

                    For David
                    if u cant make the mp3 player to work or access it, u need a nokia 3310 or 1100 or somethin like that. U dont need this "bad" phone, which is actually pretty good.

                          I've just got this phone a day ago, and I've been having a few problems with putting MP3s on it, I've done it successfully onto the phone, but I can't do put them onto the memory card. I've downloaded them onto the card, it shows up in the Menu, when I press to play it comes up with a 'System Error' and I don't know why. And I my comp can't read the phone as a USB device.
                          If anyone can help, I'll be grateful. Thanks in advance!

                            To me

                            The flash is not like a camera flash but it is good enough for close range photos. I dont no of a flash on a hpne that would be any better.
                            When listening to MP3's you can do just about anything includ sending sms (note: playing MP3 will make phone lag)
                            It only has video playback not recorder.

                            To Oliver

                            You are going to have to get your service provider to give you details on everything.

                            I have no idea how to fix that try upgrading firmware.

                                    i recently purchased this phone for use with my cingular sim card. I changed all the IP settings to mirror that of my old motorola v400. It seems that i cannot access the internet or anything that requires GPRS. It keeps saying "GPRS network not available" so basically, all can do is phone calls and text messages. I dont have multimedia messaging, web access, or instant messaging. Any suggestions? Cingular does not offer this phone, although it does work on their network, so they are unable to offer me much tech support. Its ok to email me: oliverorln@aol.com

                                      Hold down the red phone located to the right of the joy stick.

                                      To David

                                      Put songs on phone/trans flash and play them via sounds in multimedia menu. To change between Trans flash and phone memory hit the menu button when in sounds, switch storage device, phone/trans flash. Once you have found song you wish to play select it and sound will start being emitted from phone (head phones if plugged in.

                                      To Carla

                                      There are many reasons this could happen, I have only had item fail while sending via BT from SE K700i. But tried start after failure and it worked. Possible that your or the other phones have dodgy BT or you are saving it to Phone memory and not TF card and the file is too large. Many other reasons could be causi9ng this problem. Keep trying and if the problem persists contact Motorola. (Unlikely it is the phone but possible)

                                      Try installing virtual PC and see if it works or buy a PC/use friends.

                                      To whateva

                                      This phone only has one problem and that is the small amount of lag it has on the original firmware. But upgrade and the phone is a dream. Price in fantastic features and looks are incredible. Best bag for buck phone on the market IMO.

                                        have a big problem - i've an Apple G4 but motorola phone tools cd is compatible with PC only. so i cannot register it, nor DL anything for my phone. short of spending $200+ for apple compatible version of windows, how can i get this phone to work/play with my computer?

                                        have tried many times to connect via BT dongle, but my comp refuses to "discover" any mobile phones. i went through OS X BT set-up assistant a dozen times & am on verge of giving this phone away ( since i've no use for its camera & MP3 player).
                                        how do i make this phone show up on the list of devices?
                                        do i have to have phone tools installed beforehand in order to connect via BT? i'm in USA & motorola helpdesk is clueless on how to help me, since this phone isn't sold here, although it works vwery well with t-mobile
