                  To whimpey: Which part of Manila are you from? Well, Motorola units aren't really that popular in the Philippines compared to Nokia or SE. Most people don't know how cool the e398 is and I personally like it to stay that way so that I won't have a lot of people who would have the same phoen unit as me.

                  Anyway, to your question, I'm not sure if Greenhills is the best place to go coz most of the stores there cater to the 'masses' who go for Nokia and SE units. The price for an openline e398 in the Philippines is around 12k. That will get significantly lower if you get it thru Smart or Globe. I got mine as a retention plan from Smart so I got it at a bargain for 3k. However, there is at least a month and a half waiting time to get the unit from Smart.

                  Try going to MemoExpress, which would have branches at Festival Mall in Alabang, SM City North EDSA in QC, Glorietta 3 in Makati and also one in Sta Lucia Mall in Cainta/Pasig. I saw e398 units on display there and they might be easier to get thru that store chain.

                  Good luck and enjoy the phone once you get it.

                              Finally got the phone and so far it has exceeded my expectations. It's design is more stylish than I thought it was. The phone features are everything it was touted to be. The picture resolution of the camera is excellent. The sms function is normal and adequate, not 'unresponsive' as the review and some user comments say it was. The mp3 player has excellent sound quality especially if you use the headphones.

                              Some questions though:
                              1) How do you get the lights to flash in sync with the music? Haven't been able to figure that one out yet.

                              2) How do you move files, mp3s specifically, directly from the pc to the flash card?

                                  I had bought e398 2 days ago. I'm very satisfied with it. My opinion is based on time released, price and features compare with other brand. 1stly, E398 win on its price. 2ndly, its quality of sound. And its picture quite ok even it's only a vga camera. The downside of it is only its not has a video recorder. But why bother if u can only record video in just few minutes. Overall, bravo e398!
