Can't get a bluetooth headset to work. It pairs and connects ok and rings when phone rings but when you answer there is no sound in earpiece and don't know why. Any ideas anyone?

        Tips for putting more songs onto your phone:
        1.get itunes and convert the songs to AAC,they are much smaller
        2.Download Diet Mp3.This is an mp3 compressing software. The trial lets you compress 15 songs

        I used both methods and I've got about 30 songs on my phone with about 5mb of memory still left and I have videos and pics and everything!

              i bort this phone last october and since have had the constant problem of when i recieve text messages or phone calls it cuts out and re-starts itself, i have taken it back to be told there is a problem with the software and it will have to be sent back to be looked at without the guarantee that all of my pictures etc will still be on there when it is sent back so ive kept hold of it and suffered! nice looking phone but this problem has made me dislike it in general and wouldnt recomend it.

                      I think I'm doing something wrong with trying to get music to the phone via bluetooth. Could somebody please go through the process for me - step by step - starting with the file I want in 'my music' section of my PC. What do I do to it to get it to my phone? I would be soooo grateful. Thanks.

                        I purchased this phone after having bought the siemens poppy phone (which I didn't like, although I guess you get what you pay for) and am very pleased with it. Thus far I have had no problems at all, I find it very user-friendly, nice tactile number pad, crisp screen, audio sound is good and no problems with the signal. Only annoyance is that I have to open the phone to see I've had a missed call. Transference of data (photos, music etc) to PC (& vice versa) with a bluetooth dongle is straightforward and I was pleasantly surprised by video camera quality. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a compact phone, with reasonable camera and mp3 quality that is value for money.

                          Mary Grace, help!! I still can't get the thing to work. I've re-installed it and manage to get a music file (definitely .mp3) into the 'my devices' section and each time I try to select a song it says 'receiving 00%' then waits and bit then disconnects. Nothing goes into my music file at all. Is it a dodgy dongle or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for replying to my previous message.

                            No, this phone will not work in the US. Its dual band 900/1800mhz. In the US we use 850/1900. Hope this help.

                              I received the E530 free with my 3 yr renewal of the Int' Hearld Tribune newspaper in Thailand. Great design. Still trying to figure out how to use the Blue Tooth function to download more pics and sounds. Sound quality of calls leaves a bit to be desired. Others talking to me sound like they are in a very small room with a slight echo effect so need to be in a very quiet environment when talking. Not sure if this a tech problem. The function keys take some getting used to as it is easy to straddle 2 keys and make a mistake. Recommended less the sound qulaity issue.

                                  Tezza, as I have read in your previous post and I hope I understand correctly that you have indeed managed to download one song into the phone's memory, right? If that is the case, to check if the phone did indeed received the music file (mainly files w/ .mp3 extensions) pls go to the (1)Menu (2)File Manager (3)Music. The song you have downloaded should go there and no where else. If it shows "Empty" it could only mean two things (1) the music file is not a recognized file format (2) the bluetooth dongle you purchased has not been completely installed into your pc and therefore try to re-install it again and use only 1 usb port for the bluetooth dongle (try to remember which usb port you installed it in and use that particular port forever). If all else fails and you still can't download songs to your phone, have the dongle checked at the store you purchased it from because it really might be defective. I hope it's still under warranty or something.

                                  Let me know if you still have problems. Good luck!

                                    I've had my E530 for around 8 months now. It's very reliable and I have had no problems with it at all.

                                    The call clarity is excellent and the battery life is better than any other phone I have come across.

                                    I love the fact that it is unusual and is far more eye-catching than the continuous monotony of black and silver.

                                    I would highly recommend this phone to anyone looking for a reliable phone that is more interesting than the run-of-the-mill!

                                      well,i had bought this phone for nearly a year. the keypad started not functioning well,my phone will shut off automatically when someone called and it continous "hang" for 5 times when i was typing a message.although e530 is very feminine and it produce very good sound,but it is not a very good phone as there is no memory slot which resulted i cant store much information in my phone and when viewing or deleting a picture, i need to wait very long for it to process.my advice for those who are interested in buying e530 is think twice before buying it or you will regret.
