    to Jim;
    hey jim, all i can tell you as an old nokia user(about 9 years), u really impressed us here with the degrees u'r holding but i'd call anyone a moron simply who can not plug the headset to the headset jack ;) moto interface might not be user friendly to you cuz it's been your choice to use nokia always only that shows u have no vision, and are back minded. Once you realize what you've been missing out there, others will be in diff. dimensions already. Btw, i'm an eng. too (which is so stupid to state in a froum like this) if it's gonna make u feel better.

        I've used okia all my life. Today I bought a Motoroal E398...Arrrgghhhhh !!! big mistake. This must be the most user "unfriendly" phone \i have ever seen and used. It comes with a head set that you can't plug in. I've been trying all day now to attach a voice tag to some numbers, cannot do. \i've tried to attach to my bluetooth, asks for pin number. Told it is 0000. Guess what!!!! it's not. I've had this phone 15 hours now. It's being exchanged tomorrow for another Nokia. for the record, I hold 2 Masters degrees and am the MD of an engineering company. I supply 45 company phones, 44 of which are Nokia. \i was thinking of changing to Motorola but guess what.....\i don't think so. Ciao : )

            They should but they won't for a while! It's in their interest to bring out a new phone making us all pay more =(

              I noticed that the new V8 can support video recording.

              Motorola should provide a software update to enable video recording for e398.

                I bought this phone together with the bluetooth wireless headset on Sunday through an agent . After charging it i tried connecting the phone to the bluetooth but then it asked for a PIN no. (i was told its 0000 (default)). but then when i key in the no. it says invalid PIN. so i took the phone back to the agent the next day and he says i must send to the customer service center.So i send it there and guess what they say they cannot repair the phone and if i want a new phone i have to wait for 1 MONTH !!! Crap i traded in my old phone for this and now i have to wait for 1 MONTH for the phone!!!! AAaarrrrrgggg :( what can i do?

                        for kenneth: to set an mp3 track as ringtone, the mp3 file must be saved in phone memory. U cannot use mp3 tracks in memory card as ringtones.

                                  the site u gave me for the firmware upgrade is not in english so i cannot read it, besides how do i upgrade it ?, what's the process. does there have to be reception when u transfer files onto the motoe398 ??

                                  cause sometimes musicfiles cannot be transfered

                                    yeah, of course u can connect to computer by bluetooth.
                                    to connect phone using windows98: add new hardware and install motorola modem driver from cd. Remove memory card and then connect phone. So dont install just the phone tools, u must do this separatly.
                                    but windows should see the phone memory card when u connect the phone with the card in it...

                                      To Antonini-what do you mean by video? do you need video recording or do you just need Video playback? If you only need playback, this is a great phone for that.
