1. Im from Denmark so thats where i bought my e616.
2. Ive had my e616 phone about a week now, i was slightly supriced by the size of the phone, but as soon as i discovered some of its many function, size didnt matter to me any more. Since then ive been playing alot with it, the geek in me wants to explore all functions of my newly bought handy. So i wanted to transfer a couple of photos wireless from my e616 to a friends n-gage by using bluetooth. But somehow the programmers (who must have been really high) forgot to put in any function at all for bluetooth, the only thing u pretty much can do is by a bluetooth headset 4 use in car. Im REALLY disappointed on this matter. However i havent experienced any other problems with the handy, as mensioned in various forums on the net (thinkin about the reset, and freezing bug that many aussies claim to have experienced). But i surely hope they will open thier eyes on this failed software, good handy for personal intertainment, but where are all the communication features??? either they lag or as in most cases, completely missing. SHAME on u for putting this nice handy on the street with such poor software, wouldnt have expected this, but think this goes for ALL nec products, they ALL need firmware updates, as´did my NEC dvdr drive but thats a whole different story.
3. sry 4 my poor/shortend english :P

I like my e616, use it all the time for videocalls when at home or out (video-calls are free with operator "3" in Sweden). I think the interface is quick and feels a lot more solid than my older 2/2.5 g phones from Sony/Ericsson or Nokia. Still-camera isn't as good as the Sharp vodafone-phones but still ok. I've had no gsm or 3g net difficulties, but that could be because I live in a cirt with good 3g coverage. The big disadvantage the way I see it, is of course the battery time, which is the big issue with all 3g phones so far :/

Does anyone know when the NEC e616 will be available on pay as you go or even where I could buy it simfree? From what I've read I think that its a really great phone!!!!!!

I had this phone for 1 week now .. And all I ever do, is recharging the damm thing. Nice to have 2 rechargers, USB and a Car Charger .. I sure use them all the time.
The phone itself has some nice features. I coded music videos for it, and it looks nice. Allso the MP3 is playing fine.
One BIG mistake from 3/NEC .. You can NOT upload JAVA games on it. You can only download them from "3".
The camera is Ok. Had the Panasonic GD87 before, and the NEC is not that good, but have the nice Spot-Light to switch on.
Other thing that sucks, it can only Read MAX . 128Mb SD Duo stick.
The software in it, has some big bugs. The Phone is about 2 min, to find GSM net, if there is no 3G net.
The phone "crashes" if it has to switch between 3G to GSM and vice versa. It just shuts down !!!
One of my friends NEC e616, is allso shutting down, if he sends a SMS to a phone outside UMTS network, just after he turned on his phone.
In all.. the phone is ok, if they can fix all the bugs. Hoping for a soon firmware update or someting...

Nice looking phone if a bit big but the software on it is dodgy! have had 2 replacements in 2 weeks. That's 3 fones! How ironic! First one, I set to autolock and it decided not to unlock. second one I changed the wallpaper to something I uploaded and it reset and kept resetting so I couldn't use it. Third one the USB port doesn't detect the cable! This is an unacceptable quality issue for a Japanese company!

is it possible to use a sim card from vodafone or orange in this phone. have heard the sim cards for 3G run on different voltage than other cards which make it impossible to cancel the contract with for example 3 after 1 year

Oh Yeah, I forgot to mention;
The Nec 616 has bluetooth but it only appears to work for telephoney ie. handsfree - try and transfer a file and you're greated with an error message.

Great looking phone but let down by some really silly oversights. Plays Mp3's but only into a mono earphone!
Doesn't have a speakerphone - this means on video calls you have to use the headset/earphone.
You can't add contacts to the phone from your PC in the same easy way as a Nokia 7600 or Motorola A835
The only ringtones you appear to be able to use are downloaded from 3's website - I cannot find a way to upload them fom the PC.
When transfering files from the phone to PC or PC to phone, you have to set the phone into USB transfer mode as well as running the software on the PC.
I do quite like some of the features such as the camera light and fancy blue flashing LED on voice calls but, for me, the negatives outweigh the positives. The phone is going back.

Please please help me so that we can play games on the phone. Do we need to download them or are they already installed into the phone?
