this phone sux!!!

i've had the phone for 13 months now and i've gone through 3 new batteries with it already.
the from (even from the time i first bought it) randomly switches off about twice a week and freezes on me all the time (when making calls mostly).
- i don't think the bluetooth can be used to transfer files
- you can only store a max of 100 videos and photos (100 on handset mem and 100 on sd-card mem even if your sd-card is 128MB, it can't save over 100 photos even if they take up 20MB)
- it's NOT an mp3 player, you can only listen to mp3s if you have an sd-card and they have to be under 1 or 2 MB mp3 files, plus you can only hear them through the handset speaker unless you have the headset which you can only hear mono through 1 ear.
- you also can't have mp3s as ringtones
- the video files (MP4 files) once transfered to your pc you'll *never* be able to find a codec to play them. even downloading all the mega codec packs out there i've only gotten audio to work and never video on my pc.
- selecting message from your inbox to delete takes hours doing one by one unless you choose ALL.
- also i've never worked out how to upload java or midi to the phone if someone could please tell me that would be appruciated.

buttom line is NEVER BUY NEC PHONES!

    Hello People, the reason the BLUETOOTH isnt working is because the Bluetooth on the E616/E616V and alot of other NEC phones is JUST from the phone to the same type of phone (ie> 616 to 616) and only for calender contacts. Do some reasearch! I Dont even have the phone and I know.

                      I think that NEC E616 is an big and bad phone. Sometimes it wont turn on and sometime it restarting.

                      I have bought an Samsung E330 now. And it rules ;)

                        all round i think this is a relativley alright phone but there is 2 things that are really annoying me
                        firstly
                        how do you see and change the ringtones cant find an option for that anywhere
                        secondly
                        how do you set a recording as your ringtone
                        reply a.s.a.p
                        many thanx
                        xoxo

                            Sorry to say, the e616 phone is too complicated & poorly thought out, lacks any reasonable service from NEC, problematic, has software bugs, uses too cheap hardware within, unstable electrics and needs a few more years technical research to make it user friendly and reliable.

                                        This phone usualy has software problems.while using it,the phone stops and the screen goes white.you need an original charger because using another one will not charge the batary.
