Zohaib,

I'm not so sure about the stereo mp3 u r referring 2, to me, the supplied earphone is goog enough. So far, I'm satisfied with it.

To me (maybe it's only me), I noticed that the mp3 quality differs as the bit rate increase... That is y most of my are >128kbps. PS; max kbps supported by this phone is 192kbps unless u flashed your phone with a better firmware.

    Daniel,

    I once encountered the same problem b4 and I found out that the culprit is because of one tiny dust in the memory card slot. So, don't open your phone cover regularly.

    The second problem is because of your memory card itself. The bigger the capacity of the card, the higher the rate to get hanged... I did said about this in my ealier post.

    About the bit rate, most of my songs are >128 kbps.

          So, I finally bought this cel phone, and I ALREADY heavy some problems...
          Not so big, its about the mp3 player. Sometimes (not so rarely...) it fails, and the music stoped. I read that its because this mp3 player only plays tracks 64k bit rate with 100% guaranteed. Tracks tath have more than 64k of bit rate could have problems (although that many musics on my cell with 128kb are playing very well...)
          Thats the only problem I found ... (in 5 days)
          Ps. Sorry about my english!

                Well... indeed this is 1 good phone. I have been using it almost a year. The only drawback is the processing speed. Currently, I'm using 512mb T.Flash card n this phone tend to lag a lot...

                I did flashed my phone to enable video record... But it is not very impressive either...

                Bluetooth speed is kinda slow compare to se or samsung phone...

                I recommend to all possible buyer to play with it about 10-20 minutes first b4 buying it...

                                        I could not able to upload new themes to my Motorola E398 cell either through GPRS or through PC connection. Can anyone tell me how to upload new themes. Also tell me the format of theme files if u know. I have downloaded some of the theme files to my pc which are in zip format.
