wafu, 17 Jan 2009hey guys. im planning to buy this fone. does it have a vide... moreYes it does. You'll just have to get used to how small the screen looks, though, however with its 2GB internal memory (plus the other 2GB from my memory card) I've watched movies in this nifty little phone.

Then of course the keypad on EM35 is a bit more "normal" for most people.
Ringtone / speaker of EM35 is way louder than E8 to the point even if I solely put EM35 on "loud only", the sound is so loud that it actually makes the phone vibrates.

I had a motorola about a couple of years ago and sold it within 4 months of purchase for its disastrous battery life.
Then i recently bought Motorokr E8 in hope that they have worked on their known for battery problem, but was disappointing. the battery life is way below my expectation,but this is just the most minor problem with this model.
You spend so much for this stylish and ur phn is not compatible to any themes/skins except for the default one.
The sound quality is good on earphone(though no comparison to an ipod) but is too low in loudspeaker.Most of the time i can't hear my ring tone when i am on road or in shopping malls; moreover the sound quality deteriorates with passage of time.
The key buttons are unique and makes you wonder its beauty at times.But if you are an sms loving person and finish most of your conversations over sms,then dont't even think about this phone because your figures will start paining after typing for some time.
So my ultimate verdict about this phone is that if u sort of like music, want to have a stylish phone which will make other people stare again, but if u are fine with not much changes then u can definitely try out this one.

hmmmm... my E8's abouuuut two weeks old now, and I am quite happy with it. still getting oohs and aaahs from people. hehe. :P i'm quite over the fact that there is no copy-paste function. (for those people who want to use the u-smiley, what i did was i saved messages with the smiley and just forward messages from my Inbox with those smileys)
i still wish i could lock my Multimedia though. :P

I kinda feel sorry though for the people who always think famous brands are the best like Nokia, etc. They should not pay attention to the brand; instead, they should look for the best quality phones irregardless of the manufacturer.

It all depends on who needs what, and I personally need a music phone, and the E8 does one heck of a job. Too bad for the bitter people who sourgrapes against the E8. I myself wouldn't say it's a perfect phone, but heck, it does what its supposed to do for me. :)

And I agree with that thing you mentioned regarding carriers mingle with the phone's software to cater to their plans' needs. I only feel real bad that Motorola's Mobile Phone department is not doing really good all due poor marketing I guess. Even my cousins who've been using all thes touch screen phones think that my E8's wicked! ;)

So what if it's outdated and outperformed by anything out there? It still performed what it should do and it does it brilliantly.

I've had this phone for 4months now, and I got it as a gift from the Philippines, and I've never had problems either. It only lagged twice while in my possesion. I was even too crazy enough to throw my phone against a wall (I was so angry) and it's as if nothing happened. No scratches on it up until now. So whatever issues it has with T-Mobile, it could be because of any breach of contract they have with Motorola. Same goes anywhere else. And so far, yes, I've been to the Motorola website and there are no news whatsoever of them discontinuing this magnificent music phone.
As for the music artwork, I'm sorry, but I no longer have the answer to your question. Usually, what I do with my E8 is have it sync as memory card and drag-drop items in it.

I really like this phone. It has fantastic battery life, brilliant music player with an in built 3.5mm headphone jack, reasnoable camera and its easy to use. When i brought it, i hadn't read up about the phone beforehand so i really didnt know what to expect. At first, the keypad seemed very strange but after a while you get used to it and it turns out its a great keypad as it only displays the keys you need for a particular function. When i opened the box, i was annoyed that it didnt come with a memory card supplied, however, what i didnt know was that it has 2gb of memory internally which can be expanded which really pleased me. The only thing i dont like about the phone is the way it looks. It looks quite ugly, and from a distance, it looks like a motorola f3. However, that may be just my tastes, but overall, an excellent mobile phone.

Remember, most US phone carriers tend to modify a phone's software to cater their needs but it also causes the phone to have problems.

phone looks nice but it is not like it is advertised. i had it from t-mobile in U.S.A. battery does not live as web site says. it only lasts about a day. also phone locks itself up. you have to take the battery out and restart it. at most important time you wanna make a phone call, phone dies and take the battery out and restart it. but it has a good reception. i have been traveling all over the U.S. and reception is extra ordinary. but at this time the phone is not reliable. don't get stuck somewhere in middle of nowhere. motorola has to work out more.
