    Charge your battery with your USB cable and it will last longer.

        Hi everyone, I just wondering about the battery life of the E730. My one won't last a whole 24 hours without needing to be charged, is this normal??? i would only use my phone for about 2 hours max, so it isn't always glued to my ear. and if this is normal does charging it everyday affect the battery?

          I have got this E730 and I must say is a crazy phone. Every thing is perfect from the screen to radio to everything. Is a phone everyone must get. My only problem is that it should have got a memory card.

              If you want to download games and appz from jetgar just select the E720 or E530. Works for me

                Hi guys! I have this phone for a couple of months now and it's ok. But I have 2 problems with it:
                1. The phone doesn't vibrate when ringing (but it vibrates&rings at start up / shut down or if I use the last ring melody it came with)
                2. Whichever keysound I choose, it palys the default one (mute works but sound 1,3,4 don't work).
                A friend has an E730 and has the same 2 problems. Do you have / solved this?

                  yeah, u'll have no problem listening to music 7 metres away. Usually if the phone is next to me, i'll put the volume 2-3 (max is 10)
                  But mind you, dont put so much high hope on the bass sound, it is not a stereo or woofer.
                  But tell you, you wont regret in term of music.
                  About the limited 90mb memory, you just grab a sound editor software, change your normal mp3 to mono sound and lower down the bitrate, i did that and w/out noticeable differece from the phone speaker, i manage to put in 22 mp3s and only consume 51mb

                    the speaker is not extremely loud but i think it would be able to reach someone 4-7 metres away but not if ur in a busy place.

                      last question,
                      im just curious if its speaker is loud enough to reach me maybe 4-7 meters away with a possibly clear and audible music?

                        hmm... it seems that most people having problem to put in java applications in to their samsung's phone, including this. The easiest way is to gprs download from samsungmobile.com, but of course, u need to pay or can be deducted from your membership point.
                        but i dont really care about games, coz i dont play it much. I think the built in mp3 player and fm radio is more than enough and better than those games.
                        but this phone already spare 4mb for java applications, if you manage to get more games, then it'll be great

                        @mr noname
                        mind telling me why this phone is bad?

                          thanks for the tips..

                          what do you mean i'll have a hard time putting java games?? do you mean i cant directly get a game or application?
                          i see some samsung games on getjar.com. do those games cannot be used on e730?

                            @DocJH

                            i'm not so sure about e720's flash, but i think e730's flash should be better or at least on par with e720's flash.
                            Yes, e730's flash can light up like a flash light, but u need to on the camera also, as if in standby mode...
                            e730 dont have night mode, sadly...
                            but honestly, one thing i dont really like about the flash is that it only work in range 1 metre or shorter, further than that, u wont see anything, the LED are not so bright...

                              get urself a bluetooth adapter, it's not so expensive, and much lot easier compare to data cable... can transfer file in range 10metres,
                              although cable is faster, but i like bluetooth more

                                depends on u to choose this e730 or w550i.
                                This phone is just great, what i think is better compare to w550i is that
                                1)stylish
                                2)compact / small
                                3)lighter
                                if u'r more on to function rather than design, i bet w550i are better buy for, as it:
                                1)is a walkman phone
                                2)higher memory capasity (but both phone have no memory slot)
                                3)easy to install java applications, compare to samsung (harder, need to dload from samsungmobile.com)

                                but mind you, if u'r more on to design, w550i for sure is not ur taste, besides it heavy and bigger in size, this phone need to twist to open it (hope u get what i mean), and after twist u need to turn over to use the keypad properly (me dun get this either) nvm...hehe
                                but i think i dislike about SE phones is that, no matter how expensive the phone is, the design is totally crap for me, and look at the keypad, looks like a cheap handphone's keypad. No offence SE users, just pointing out my view...
                                Anyway, if u like small phone, capable to become mp3 player, stylish in black, i suggest u go to e730, i'm a happy owner of this phone

                                      im still having second thoughts on this phone. im thinking if i'll buy sony ericsson w550i or this phone, any comments and suggestions?

                                      is this phone has a night mode? can the flash be lit steady like a pocket lamp?
                                      thanks
