        Thank you for your reply, Farhat H. I have one curious question. Does it have that trnasfer limit per file? I know the gx32 limit the file to 400kb per file. That really pissed me off because, other than compressing, I think even an mp3 song would be bigger than that and the gx32 costs a fortune. I also hear that many are having difficulting setting a mp3 ringtone, only one or two people is successful. Honestly I may not need an mp3 ringtone, but if I'm buying a phone right now while most have it, I think the one I buy should have it too. Just saw a Nokia 6230 display phone on special today for $388 US. Anyhow, I think I should wait it out before buying something I will regret later.

                Farhat >>> "But a few hundred $$ more)" !?!?! u crazy, k700 is only 50$ more. the Cool leds are called haptics or rythmic lights. And our confused buyer knew about the memory expansion and things like that. Also, Moto has more metal than k700, so i dont believe the k700 is stylisher.
                for other questions: if u want an mp3 ringtone, u must have the file on the phone memory (internal memory or RAM, whatever u want to call it) in order to set it as ringtone !!! This was answered many times before, so u should of searched the forum. U can't set as mp3 ringtone a file from the transflash card.
                Nate >>> yeah, u can buy a 128 mb transflash card, this is the biggest card available now.

                  Ok, ConfusedBuyer. Both K700 and E398 has features like Bluetooth, 65K TFT colours, VGA camera tht can record videos, MP3 player and other basics. But there additional features on the E398.

                  E398 has 5MB internal memory BUT you can expand it using TransFlash SD card (a 64MB card INCLUDED!!!), the screen size is bigger AND has 3D surround speakers on both sides with cool illuminating LEDs.

                  If youre looking for a complete multimedia phone AND cheaper between K700, the E398 is best.

                  If youre on the more stylish, business side, the K700i wins. (But a few hundred $$ more)

                  Hope this helps your decision.

                          ConfusedBuuyer >>> get a sonyericsson s700, it would be the best choice.
                          The nokia 6260 is also a good option.
                          Last, but not least, motorola E398 is very good value for money

                            At first i really wanted a sharp phone due to its 262k screen. But knowing that the phones don't offer mp3 ringtones and bluetooth, I hesitated. (Gx32 is too much) Now I'm deciding upon E398 and k700i, since both are well equipped with those features. Please help me decide. Can the E398 record or play video? I know the K700i can but its memory seems smaller and internal only. My old SE t310 is dying on me and it's about time that I have to replace it. Basically my requirements are:

                            1) at least 65000 color screen(altough quite tempted by 262k)
                            2)mp3 ringtones
                            3) bluetooth
                            4) no unreliable phones such as Korean phones and Nokia
                            5) would prefer flipphone or slider, although not necessarily
                            Please help me out, thanks.

                            Highest Regards

                              all ppl who have the sms problem. This is set by the network or the place u bought the phone from. U have to go to their service and tell them to change this.

                                    I dont think u can delete that material (wallpaper and other standard stuff) because it's in the ROM (read only memory) of the phone. Maybe with PST which edits phone software, but im not sure.
                                    Everything else u put on the phone memory it's in the RAM memory.

                                        to transfer any video to my phone i first convert it to avi format with AVone gold video MP3 converter and then with the supplied cable tranfer it to my e398 the clarity i get is better than the one converted to 3GPP
