I didn't have any problems transfering files to and fro using BT between my E398 n a N6230. Neither did I have any problems w a SE K700i. So I guess the BT is quite stable. And, the battery life for the E398 is quite lasting. Yeap.

          I believe that i am too old for this type of phone. I have trouble reading the manual because i need new glasses and i don't know how to turn it on. Can anyone assist me with my dilemma?

            To ucsmfu

            Go to connections, USB connections, memory card. Windows should say portable media device detected then transfer via portable media drive. ie. Open removable disk via my computer, mobile, audio. Then drag and drop the file you want to copy into that folder.

            MPT can only send files to phone so, if you send a file that is larger then the free memory in your phone it will not allow the file to send.

            To doink

            Use google to find application for the e398

            To Beth

            You have to seem edit your phone so messages are stored on Trans flashes, resulting in more space. Use google to find the web site with the guide on seem editing.

                  how do i transfer songs onto my moto e398??, everytime i transfer it says internal error, does the reception have to be over 50%in order to transfer?, does the mobile phone tools need internet to transfer as well ??

                  what is the exact site for the firmware upgrade cause i cannot see to get access to it.

                    Yes it can have applications put onto the phone.

                    To Fred

                    The phone can only read mpeg4 and 3gp video formats. So mpeg will not work on phone.

                          i have had this phone for 4 months its quite a good phone inits self but connecting up to a computer is bad i got ride of a third party bluetooth because of the software wasnt blending in now i just bought a original motorola bluetooth device thinking this was going to connect although i paid a lot thinking it was going to be easy to install i am still having problems in connecting its put me off having the phone it was a bit of a competition between the k700i and the E398 at the time which just looks a rushed version of the phone im now after the sony p900i which seems a better phone put together

                              Thanks for the reply.
                              I actually put in 4 0's and 6 0's but both didn't work either. Anyway i have sent it to the service center.... They say they will change the whole internal board of my phone for me.... I just hope that they place the speakers and the camera correctly like the original phone... :(

                                  I tried loading MPEG files from PC to Fone. Prior to doing this, I switched fone's storage device to trans (64MB small chip). It was a successful download, but cannot locate where the file is. I was successful in loading MP3 files and able to locate and play it using the fone but in video I can't. Anybody, please teach me. Thanks

                                      ahaha! looks like you're getting crapped by a few smart moto users here!

                                      i've been reading this thread for the past month as i am planning to buy myself this phone and it didn't take me a masters degree nor a user's manual, nor handling the phone itself, to figure out the six "0"'s! :P

                                      anyway, my advice to people who'll be reading jim's post is that let us forgive him for not being able to read the manual or doing a little research. i guess he's pretty fed up with reading from all the years he has spent trying to get smarter.

                                        I found out your problem when you copy and past the website from the forum to the address bar it comes out like this

                                        LOL ROFLMFAO, Sorry just had to get that off my chest.
                                        One the phone isn’t user friendly it is you are used to a Nokia. It is like going from a PC to a Mac for the first time.
                                        Two the head set is easier then a Nokia to plug in just open the rubber guard on the top of the phone then plug it in like you would a standard 2.5mm jack for an MD, iPod, Discman ect.
                                        Three voice tags simple go to phone book put entry in phone memory (not simcard), then go edit, voice name, record voice name, then you’re done.
                                        For bluetooth security code read replay to huh.

                                        All those degrees and you ant read English or Arabic. (Referring to the owner’s manual that tells you haw to operate the phone.)

                                        Before criticizing make sure you have your facts straight or you will look like a drop kick and be upstaged by a 16yer old who hasn’t finished high school yet Mr. 2 Masters degrees and the MD of an engineering company.
