Me again.
My battery charger cable, or the part of the phone it plugs into is rooted already.
Perhaps this is why we get a spare cable too huh.
Anyone else have a dodgy cable?

damn i just ordered the phone with 3, and then decided to read reviews, but it is the only flip they do with Bluetooth, doh. Waiting for delivery so i can test it, as for the battery i guess that is why it's sold with 2 batteries

I'm told you can get upgrades down for this phone. My friend has his upgraded just the other week to iron on some of the problems. If in Perth, you can go to Osborne Park to get it fixed. Just ring 3 tech support for the place I guess. I'm yet to find out the exact place so I can take my phone in too.
Has anyone else had probs with not being able to dial out, but you have full bars to indicate reception is perfect? And then if you get someone to call you, it will go straight to voicemail?
Grrrr to the reception and lying bars

Bought the phone 3 days ago, it is a cool design on the phone NEC e616, but the battery lifetime is a JOKE, it says in the specs a lifetime on 44 hour but for me it can only last 7 - 8 hour on the standard 780Ah battery.

I love the phone I really do, but the more I use it the more it lets me down, it turns itself off mid way through calls, that's if the battery has lasted long enough to make a call !! today after the mic stopped working, went to bed fine, morning dead, so it's back to the shop it must go ! any one else had this happen ... oh and when typing texts and emails the screen keeps blanking out and stalling ... all in all a fab phone ! keep up the good work NEC
and WHEN the update, fixs are released PLEASE let me know where I can get them done !!!

Bought my phone in Denmark 2 weeks ago. It looks great works ok mostly but annoys the hell out of me with the following bugs:
1. MP3s unstable: I have two 128MB Memory Stick Duos. I filled up one with a bunch of songs and started listening away. The first day I'm listening to it it stopped halfway through the playlist and gave a "File could not be played" error. Ok, I thought, bad file, continued playing. The next day I was on the Metro again and this time 4 files suddenly could not be played that worked fine the previous day. 3 days later none of the files could be played and I thought the card was bad. I got home stuck the other card in, made a new playlist (I'll get to that in a minute). Now a week later the exact same crap is occuring with the other card. However if I transfer the files back to my pc they play fine - this sucks as I really like the concept of the phone as an MP3 player.
2. Making a playlist: Does anyone know of a way to select multiple MP3's at a time when making a playlist on the phone as opposed to adding one at a time? You'd think they would've added that feature!!!
3. Bluetooth is useless.
4. Battery life is atrocious - one 5 minute video call eats half the battery life. I carry the charger around all the time. Was late for work this morning because the phone ran out of power and the alarm didn't sound.
5. Cell info display: How do you turn off Cell info display? I have two ugly 3 numbers appearing...
If anyone else is getting the same probs with MP3 playback and has a solution please let me know.

This NEC e616 phone is beautiful but useless. Java games downloadble but pay to play. Ringtones rubbish, video max 30sec,volume not high and worst of all, phone cut middle of conversation, before reconnecting caller, really pissed of with it. Sending phone back to dealer and inform '3'; I have told them they may lose clients very soon if this phone and their service do not improve. I have told all my friend not to bother subscribing or buying this phone. Better go to another network.
A very dissastified '3' customer.

I've sent a mail to the swedish authorities on communication and I hope that they look into the bluetooth fiasco that is nec e616. I hear ya ppl on the software mess and I hope that Fixes come before I get angry because you would't like me that way.

Like I said, we should be able to format it and re-install all the software just like we can on a computer.

*e616 will NOT play games over 96k in size.
*e616 will NOT play nokia-specific games as they use nokia files.

10 things I hate about the 616…
I hate NEC phones... I used to have the e808 upgraded to the e616 and I have to say it was disappointing the phone has so much potential if only the software was up to scratch. It really is a brainless phone
1. What’s with the stupid Bluetooth I cant connect to any other phones to receive ring tones pics games etc... C’mon NEC
2 JAVA the only way u can get games is if u download it (I hate NEC) + it has LIMITED capacity even with the memory stick
3. I paid an extra $300 for the e616 when I could have got the e313 with close to exactly the same features (616 has Bluetooth, torch, and looks way better)
4. I have had the phone for 2 months and u will notice that the menus aren’t exactly right. Things are every where and not where u expect to find them. They’ve got little hidden menus every where. When you’re doing different things you find a menu and sometimes its not there. If u ask me I think they tried a little to hard and just made it stupid
5. Its not reliable if u have one im sure this message would have popped up more then once "please wait initiating".
6. The front display setup can’t be changed to make the clock and date bigger like the box u could say false advertising.
7. I found this really annoying when someone calls I press "c" to put the phone on silent but then I cant close the phone or else it will just hang up on them lol
8. Speaker. I have to wait until someone answers the phone before I can use it. U might say now im getting to fussy but when it’s on automatic redial it’s not fun to hold the phone and just wait.
9. Midi files have a limited size of 20kb; u can’t use mp3's as an alarm or ring tones.
10. takes ages for it to load up the memory when u turn on the phone most likely when your battery dies. Now here is something I want every one to try! turn off your phone and turn it back on don’t wait for it to load quickly close the phone and look closely. The freaking light is still on "that eats battery " now wait for it to go off.....................wait………………………….waiting.................. still waiting................ Ok u can stop waiting because it doesn’t go off believe me it doesn’t. Does it? It doesn’t
Conclusion: I love my phone. Really I do. Why? Because this phone has so much potential it’s phenomenal. And if the people in the phone department of NEC are as dumb as the e616. Then god help them all because look at it ive never in my life had a phone that crashes have u? Anyway im getting a little carried away and if anyone out there should know how to fix these problems contact me.
p.s. im sending this page to NEC tonight so they can see how disappointed we are... peace out... 2d
