Thanks for the help.Now I'm trying to decide between this phone and the SX1.

Ever since the E398 has been announced I have wanted to buy it,but the SX1 can do everything the E398 can and then come more,due to the Symbian OS.

    To jezz
    My phones takes 5-6 hours for a complete recharge, after that the battery seems to be full.
    I have read on mobile-review that it is normal that first charges take a long time to complete.

      In my phone, VIBE AND RING stands for VIBE THEN RING. It first vibes then rings. Maybe we have different software versions.

          I work at allphones in aus, and i found the e398 to be a very functional and user friendly handset. However that being said, all motorola charges need to be upgraded

              To Canderous-you need to use a 3.5mm to 2.5mm converter so you could use regular headphones.

              To Raqeeb-you can send files through bluetooth.

              To Aris-you can only search for other devices (such as other phones and PDAs) through bluetooth when you are sending something. You can only search for headsets when you search in the phone's bluetooth menu. It's not a bug.

              To Gennaro-use the vibe and ring settings.

              To Lazy-you edti something in your phone...you use some programs which you can get online, and I haven't done it because I'm too lazy...hehe!

              To Nikola-it only plays mpeg4 and 3gp files.

              To Sonia-themes are just a set of pictures and ringtones, so there's really no use changing them. Go to www.howardforums.com for instructions on changing skins.

              To unknown-normal headphones will work, but you need a converter to use them.

              To Austin-you probably have corrupted files somewhere. Try looking for the said files and delete them if you can.

                  Hi, I have had the e398 for awhile and have not have any problems. But after today for some reason i am not able to edit ringer id under phonebook. I cannot assign a ringtone to anyone anymore? After I press 'change' at ringer id, it just goes back to the main screen....any solutions? Do i need a reflash or something?

                    To jaded:
                    Go to sounds menu -> switch storage -> select trans - to see sound files form the card.

                    To ryan:
                    No installed Midlet suites means there are no java applications installed. You can download java applications:

                    1) By downloading it using the browser from sites
                    2) By downloading it over USB cable using MidWay program.

                              a great phone, but the software included isn't compatible with my mac. does anyone know if mac-friendly version is available? otherwise i'd be missing on so many features.

                                      My phones behaves similarly.
                                      He DOES NOT find any close bluetooth devices when searching. It does find a device when copying/moving a given file.
                                      I think it is a bug.

                                        When you say it rings and vibrates at the same time what do you mean? I am not able to have classic ring tones (e.g. continental) and vibration.

                                        My phone rings and vibrates only with more complex sounds, such as, for example, mp3 songs.

                                        Suggestions?
