Got the phone with a data cable, was happy. Data cable didn't work, got sad. Bought a bluetooth connecter, was happy. Bluetooth paired perfectly with the PC, but still cant install Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools. Am now hopping, fuming mad. When I try to install MPT, windows (xp, service pack 2) kicks in and tries to install the phone as a modem, then gives an error saying "windows does not recognize blah blah...the connected device may not work properly". PC and phone are paired, but can only send files from pc to phone not vice versa. Bummer. Any enlightened souls who can help?

i love this phone, im the type who doesnt buy gadgets on impulse, and i made a great decision on this one coz its light and the sound is music to my ears. i love the software that comes along with it, ie., the melody software. however, cud anybody help me on these?
1. whats the default security code for the phone?
2. is there no setting wherein the keypad will lock after being idle for a period of time?
3. how many messages can be stored in the phone memory? can i transfer messages in the memory card?
---thanks so much...

Hi,
Just bought e398 a few weeks back, great phone, really love it. However, I noticed a strange problem, that the screensaver will stop running after about 30 secs. It goes like this. Screensaver kicks in, and then the LCD backlight turns off, everything normal so far. Then after server seconds, the screen will light up, and screen saver will show as a still image, until the next time I press any key. Same for default MTV saver. Any idea why?

Does anyone know where I can get this phone in white with the red sides? I think that one looks sexy. If not, i'm still getting the black one.

Far as i am concerned there is NO bad side to this phone at all guys!!!
i know lots of ppl compare this to the SE K700 but im not sure why cos for one thing the SE phone costs about 25% MORE than this!!! and that phone DOES NOT have expandable memory...it's just a stupid phone with flashing colours and animated wallpapers...its not worth tht money at all...the ONLY good thing abt that phone from my experience was its bluetooth...
there is a FM radio headset available for this for abt 25USD. so even after you buy that, the E398 is still 75USD cheaper than the K700. so all tht phone has then is video rec over this...but when you see its quality...:D boy you'd rather have expandable memory and stereo speakers tht sound fabulous ANY DAY !!!
so you see? the E398 is miles better than tht phone in many respects...
best bang for your buck this is...

I had the same problem once and I took off the T-flash and than turned on the phone.And then tha alarm and (ring style) detail worked.Then you can put the T-flash in again.

to jhobel.Look those who suggest you to install XP are unawared to the problem.My comp is running under 98SE platform.True I had some "problems" with the recognition by I manage to success.Look the first thing is to...look I have written the method in a previous opinion of mine.read it carefuly and If you have any problems you may mail me at "vezkov@dir.bg" .AND The software must recognize the phone even without the recognition under windows and it's true - it find it as modem.

jhobel - Are you running it under Windows 98? If so, where did you get drivers for USB? What program are you using to transfer data? How is the phone "seen" by the computer - as a disk? I'm asking because everytime I try installing it it's seen as a Motorola USB Modem - during the installation system is asking for drivers which aren't on the CD provided with the phone and that's the problem.

Hi all!
I have a problem. I can't find drivers for USB connected to the phone. I'm using Windows 98 and I don't know if such drivers exist. I've read some forums about it and nobody knew how to help. They said that it would be good idea to install Windows XP but i don't want to do that. Does anyobody have other idea? Thanks in advance.
