      I'm really happy with this amazing device, I can have all my favourite songs as MP3, and to create MP3 ringtones is much much easier than creating a ringtone couple years back when you have to typed CDEFGAB and so on. Great features, amazing stereo sound, except it has a bit slow response when typing SMS and also when you put picture phone book, the picture not shows straigh when the phone rings, took about 2 seconds for the pic to load... but all of that... HAPPY!! thanks motorola!!

        great phone..the sound is fantastic!no other phone can match d sound..i have "basketcase" (mp3) by green day as my SMS tone..it's cool..i have 10 alternative songs in d memory card which i downloaded thru USB w/o any hassle..d phone is not really that slow..when u got used to nokia, well it's a little bit slower..but d screen, camera functions (zoom & flash) are better than those nokia phones..you can only compare this phone to SE's K700i..both have excellent screen but moto has better sound..no video recorder though but has video playback..here in d philippines, E398 is now more expensive than N6230, K700i..d value is not depreciating unlike d nokia phones..great phone moto! just need to improve on th phonebook features..:p

                  could the E398 users tell me ... is the response of the phone slow or bearable ?
                  as in, is it slow all the times or just certain operations? (comparing it to the Nokia's and the Sony-Ericcsons). The speed of the phone is quite important to me.

                      hi guys
                      This phone really great.a new revolution in GSM phones. My earlier phone is E 365, but this one really cool more improved version which the Nokia people cant think of this.coz i wanna 2 buy N 6600 but once i see the dispaly , sound quality forget Nokia all those things r bundled into it, moreover 64 MB card while there u got only 32 mb card.
                      If u people here uses the GPRS then its a fun tool u can download so much stuff like Java games, applications from wordial.com , midlet.com. Try it..
                      But Some time its M card d,t respond or cant download the mp3 songs why??

                        Speaker problem.
                        I have just got my E398 for 2 weeks and i think my left speaker is busted. When i play mp3s with heavy bass the speaker over vibrates and creates a buzzing sound. Does this happen to anyone else. I play mp3, Nelly's My Place at 192kp and the speaker vibrates. I dont know if its loose parts or blown speaker because other songs with not much bass sounds fine.
                        Does anyone have the same problem??? I want to try and return it for a new one but i'm afraid they won't let me as all other files with no bass sounds alright.

                                    This phone rocks !, I just bought and I've been meddling with it for the past couple of days. I'm happy after reading all the reviews and getting what I expected.

                                    Just one question> Is it possible to assign and mp3 to a ringtone of a contact? if so please let us know.

                                        DEAR ALL E-398 USERS,
                                        I was a 2 months user of e-398.
                                        My Opinion abt tis phone :
                                        1. Very reliable.
                                        2. Full featured.
                                        3. Camera w 4x really works fine... and not jerky even in night mode with short distance flesh.
                                        4. Java games. runns fine with original e-398 games. If enable java app loader, some more good. Can support most of the others J2ME games from nokias, and other models. only few cannot run (shows "apps error")
                                        5. Powerfull messaging. Able to remember prev. words that had been typed which is not in the dictionary. able to select the ascii characters easily.
                                        6. Really Fantastic display. (crystal clear screen with good cover on top) not easily get scratch.
                                        7. Clear & sharp 3D speakers Loud with powerful handfree speakers. (no need extra mp3 players.)
                                        8. V.fast GPRS / WAP connections.
                                        9. Bluetooth makes perfect. Able to c all the folders in the tranflesh card and do file transfer without using M.Phone tool s/w.
                                        10.Very friendly calculator, datebook & multiple schduling Alarms.
                                        11. Helpful rythmatic lights helps when phone is in silent mode (meeting time)
                                        12. MPEG 4 playback works fine. No jerkings.
                                        13. Very nice soft covers makes a good grip.
                                        14. changeable thames c/w nice screen saves.

                                        there are more a lot. My opinion, Moto had make a big movement for this phone rather than prev models which are hard to use.

                                        ONLY thing i quite NOT Satisfied with this phone is : The phone book which unable to search the specific names as E-365. ( 1 letter based searching)
                                        Anyone knows how to makes the searching faster?

                                        For gamers, pls refer to prev. forum on how to enable java apps downlaoding! mine running fine.
