To raqeeb: yes, the E398 allows file transfer via bluetooth without any problems.

I just noticed when using "look for devices" under bluetooth/hands free, most of the time it will say no devices found though a 6630 & k700 is beside it BUT when if i select a file to send then use "look for devices" option, ONLY then it would pick up the bluetooth devices nearby. any similar experience from you guys?

        I think E398 certainly looks more sleek than Nokia 6230. I just can't stop admiring it's design everyday. The sound quality of the mp3player is really amazing! This phone is the thing I have being waiting for, it's my mp3 player, it's my phone. ;-) The cons is that Moto OS is still a bit laggy. Needs more work to better the performance. ;-)

          evil666; e398 is truly a better phone than 6230. It is better if you go check both at a phone store before you so you could see the difference

            To Jezz-the phone stores SMS on the SIM by default,you have to do some seem editing to get it to store SMS into the phone's memory.

            To Betty-It's good, you can feel it very well, and it rings and vibrates at the same time. And yes, the mp3s stored on the card can't be used as ringtones.

            To me-that's probably MPT.

            To Onizuka1111-Open the phone's rear, and grasp the battery with your thumb and index finger...you should be able to pull it out.

            To Gennaro-smooth probably has older firmware version. Try formatting your card. Try re-installing MPT.

            To Dan-just search the net...it's somewhere out there.

            To Devil-I've taken the battery off for over an hour and the time and date are still there. And you can't use the mp3s on the card as tones.

            To Evil666-go ahead. This one is much better than the 6230 anyway.

            To
            Peacemaker-you have to get P2kman, tht'swhat you have to use to get the pre-installed ringtones out.

            To RandallSSC-use Mobile Phone Tools, or if you have the feature, use the phone as a USB drive and drag and drop files into the card. Or use a card reader, that would be much easier.

            To Smooth-get the lates firmware available...it should speed the phone up.

            To Angel-T-from wqaht I know, when you assign ringtones by category, that will also serve as the message alert tone.

            To Hassan-convert your videos to .3gp. That should work.

            To Trevor-it's a little bit wider, but not by very much. It's also a bit heavier, but that's probably because this is loaded with so many features unlike the 3200.

              e398 is best in its class at the moment. I think Motorola should continue with E398 model and upgrade it with more features.

                  How big is this phone? I currently have a Nokia 3200, and I'm thinking about gettin' the MOTO E398, and I like to know if it is a little bigger than the 3200, because it kinda looks about same size as the 3200 from Nokia

                        I have given up on the MPT. I was playing around with it a few weeks ago and it screwed up my TF card. Now, all my MP3 files are gone, but the card memory is still full. I think it corrupted the card. I had to go back to the MOTOSTATION for re-formatting, and now, the phone lags when the card is in but quick when it is out. Should I upgrade the firmware at this point?

                            Anybody from India : what are the contents of the Moto E398 package ? is there a data cable of some sort ? whats the latest software version available ?
                            is the vibration of the phone good enough ?

                              Hey guys,
                              I have switched from Nokia to E398 and I think it is a superb phone. Easy to use with alot of goodies. However, I can't seems to figure out how to remove the preset tune from the phone as I need moer space for my own downloaded tune. Does anyone knows how?

                                I think they gave me a wrong version of Mobile Phone Tools. I installed the one a friend of mine received when he bought the cable. Now everything works fine. Now I have all the various studios (image, melody, ecc.).
                                Thanks

                                    I think that if you have a good phone that works well why do you want to change it??

                                    Gennaro
                                    did you try switching the device type that it was reading over to the card?
                                    if you have then the card may have issues.
