Tealeaf, you didn't mention anything of substance that makes the k700 better than the e398. sounds more like poitician-speak to me.
the e398 is cheaper in price. the displays are the same (65000colours, 176x220 transflective tft). the rf is stronger on the e398 (try them both on the same network in the same location so that you can see for yourself). the speakerphone on the k700 needs 4 key presses, on the e398 its only 1. both have exactly the same fully customisable skins and themes. do i really need to mention how superior the e398s 3D stereo surround sound is to how the 'digitised'(poly only) sound is on the k700 through its 1 speaker. design is personal preference, but the e398 is much more durable and sturdy. the k700 scratches easily and do you really want to see the repair costs!? the photo's on the e398 are better because they have a lot less noise (the k700 is infamous for it. imagine getting a nice photo, then rubbing it with sandpaper. thats what the typical k700 photo looks like. as for the nightmode - no comment haha) while the e398 doesn't allow panoramic shots. the e398 has quicker menus and doesn't lag while the k700 lags badly every 30-60secs and when entering menus. on the e398 you can have your own custom mp3 ringtones for calls, text, answerphone, instant messaging,etc, while you can only have your own custom mp3's for calls on the k700. bluetooth on both are exactly the same(when the k700 isnt freezing all the time). irDA? who uses irDA when youve got bluetooth and usb? the e398 is much more customisable than the k700. do i really need to mention how good the battery is on the e398 and how bad it is on the k700. the organiser in the e398 is more flexible (hell, you cant even set yearly recurring events on the k700). forgot about the fm radio well you can buy a radio headset for e398 for next to nothing if you really want a radio. the e398 has powersave sensors that detect the surrounding light and switch on/off the keypad light accordingly. not forgetting that the e398 is a helluva lot more stable and doesn't crash, while the k700 crashes all the time. last but not least, the e398 is expandable up to 1GB while the k700 has non expandable memory so is stuck with 41M. all the above plus when you see the heptics on the e398 its clearly obvious which is the best and most attractive to own. ive owned both. everyone else who owns(owned) both says the e398 is much better. to quote another who has owns both k700 and e398 "im struggling to think of anything that the k700 can do better than the e398". just look at all the contented e398 owners and all the disgruntled k700 owners.

      To Risto,
      Which bluetooth model are you talking about that you can listen to radio and mp3? It is Sony HBH 200 or HBH 600?

        E398 is not better than both of them, its better than the 6230 but not as good as the K700 and I'm sure you can use the bluetooth device for all that.

              whichever way you look at it buddy, the 6230 and k700 are equal. e398 is better than both of them

                  N6230 screen quality sucks. It's seems like a 4K colour screen. Haha..

                      Hey hey I don't know who this unknown person is but its not me!
                      So with that out of the way I see many "unknown people agree with me" anyway the Nokia is the worst of the screen with the screen size of a pea shooter and a cif camera thats so weak it belongs to 2003 not to mention the bland design and lack of Symbian which big brother 7610 have. E398 is a good phone with its nice design and arguably the best MP3 tool but we're here for phones and overall the K700 has a better balance of nice design, features the camera is very good, best screen just lacks memory card but 41 odd mb is sufficient with good interface available to your computer. Don't get me wrong the Motorola E398 is a decent phone but falls short to the K700 and the Nokia 6230 is just a pile of junk waste.

                          Don't be funny, 6230 has a very small screen and a low resolution

                            Why someone who say E398 is better don't say reasons why is it better?

                              its not enough to just say "trust me...k700 is the best among this 3". like the previous person says, why dont you say your reasons?

                                everyone else who owns both phones says that the e398 is better? seems like your the only one.

                                    Tealeaf, you're obviously one of the lucky few who haven't experienced any problems with this phone (yet). it will be entertaining to hear your reasons as to why its "much superior" to the e398 or even the 6230.

                                      exellent phone without a doubt Sony's best allround yet much superior to the Nokia 6230 and Motorola E398 but have to say doesn't quite hang with the big boys though e.g. Nokia 7610, Sharp GX30 and Siemens S65 but nevertheless good enough mid range.

                                        If you notice unknow it is all about resolution, it had 65K but resolution is bigger for size of it screen so details are all sharp and clear
