I can't figure out how to change the ring tone from a midi to an mp3 and I can't figure out how to change my incoming text alert from what it is. Can anyone tell me how to get a song to play as ring tone .. if possible .. not as a midi? If it has to be midi, how do I make it one, so that I can get it to play when the phone rings?
can we store the ring tone through the message to the phone. Plz tell if anyone know

Continuation from the post below ...
And i'm not lossing my warranty, coz i can always revert it back to the original E398.
But if you really want a good camera and video rec. Then buy a handy cam or something, this is a phone lol

The original E398 package is not good enough.
But after some modding, this E398, or i'll say it i398, is just fantastic.
1> Fast User Interface
2> Fast SMS-ing, SMS storage setting on Phone memory or sim
3> Phonebook search, you can type 'Motor' if you want to search Motorola on you phonebook
4> Smooth video playback, and can handle bigger bitrate
5> Java applications on TransFlash
6> Flight Mode
7> Better camera quality
8> VIDEO Record!!! -> the quality is much better than SE K750 or N6600

I've had an E398 since not long after they were first released and I still think it is one of the best phones going around apaprt from 1 thing! and that is the incredibly laggy interface, if you are a fast smser then at times you can find yourself 20 - 25 seconds ahead of the pohone! and menu navigation can be very slow at times causing u to be in the wrong section if you nav too quick. Other than this awesome phone, awesome sound!! As for video...... Why anyone wants a video camera on a phone is beyond me! Buy a Camcorder and take proper videos!

The phone is quite good feature wise, and design is quite good (camera is great for its res). Drawbacks: no automatic keylock, laggy interface and no irda

Sorry a question: Where or how I can find a perfect(I mean full of all details, there be all explainations about meanings of all menu and submenus in this motorola) user manual? If it exist in internet(an address in internet), it will be better, if not I must search the way for finding that manual.
Thank you so much,

for all moto e398 users, if you want to download free of any charge (20 downloads limit /day) screensavers, wallpapers (178*220), some java, theems, just go to: http://www.zedge.no register there and youl have many things to see!!! download them to your computer and then use the data cable to store on t-flash card inside phone!

stefan,
i never heard tflash card burned in i398. although you are right , i398 cancels the warranty. i have i398 using shoey mpack. i like it. now with the rising popularity of the rokr, its the next best thing..... and its free upgrade. but a lot of reading has to be done.
. you are right ! better stay with e398 if you're not sure what you're doing.

if you want to take serious photos and videos, better buy a camera at least 4MP, and VGA video capable!!! then you can make videos as large as the memory card is!!! it is not even worth mentioning that all phones have PLASTIC LENS (except nokia n90), and NO FLASH, just a bright diode, and most of all the camera sensor inside phones, all models even se w800, k750, nokia n90, is CMOS, unbelivebly SLOW!!! (cameras have CCD sensor). camera phones are just for SNAP SHOTS!!!!

to i398 fan (next time add you f***ing name)
sorry, my mistake, the video recording time is "waaaay longer" 20 seconds good quality, and a great 1 minute at a poor quality, have you ever thought what this means? probably NO!!! and you know why, because there is 500kb file size limit!!! this is due to the fact that nor the pics and nor the videos are stored directly to the t-flash card, even if this option is set! these are stored on the phone's memory, that acts like a buffer (just like at dvd-rw or hard-disks) and then copied to the t-flash card!!! have you ever asked yourself this question, why there is a time, and a size limit??? or have you ever read shoey's guide??? why nokia phones like 6600 or 3650 that are way older than this model record video unlimited on the memory card? because they run on symbian os and they have a tiny 109mhz processor inside!
and where do i know that some got their card burned, i was curious to know if it worths to make it i398 and ofcourse i went to moto service, and they told me that mani i398 went back to service for all sorts of problems, but the most serious ones were with the burned card!!! THEY HAD TO PAY THE SERVICE, and it's not so cheap!
the question is: is it worth loosing the warranty for 20 or 60 sec of video (QCIF rezolution, and i belive 10 or 15 fps)????
