I have a Nec e949 here, Vietnam. The battery doesn't last for a long time. It makes me angry if I have some important calls to work ! Furthermore, It doesn't have a card slot, and the memory inside is too small for me to store whatever I want. However, the only thing I like is that It's a super-slim mobile, even slimmer than Motorola V3.

this phone sucks! I've had one for a few months now and i'm really not happy... that battery is total crap... i'll be lucky if it lasts a day, and i really dont use it non stop... the phones also got A LOT of glitches and errors, for example, sometimes the phone refuses to acknowledge that i have received a txt... the browser also sucks... all websites are blocked and i can find a way to unblock them (little help?)... the only pro amongst a sea of cons is the fone is really really nice to look at, its incredibly slim and well designed... i wouldn't recommend buying this phone... its crap, crap crap crap...

Dear poster, I have e949/L1 and have Cingular service. Cingular Network uses 1900/850. This phone will pick up 1900 not 850 . My area we only use 1900. If your coverage area covered both, the phone would work but limited when traveling into 850 area. look at this map to see what you have.

Go down page to Cingular Wireless look at (zoom in on your area on Coverage Map both)
P.S When I got my service the sales people at the store did know !!! So I showed them this site.

To get the phone work with cingular all you need is go to network and select the band to
900hzm im not sure which band but it should work.

I purchased a NEC E949 on ebay as a Christmas gift. Seller stated that it would work with Cingular Wireless. It does not. Cingular is 850 MHZ. Any suggestions/recommendations to make phone work with Cingular. Seller will not exchange the phone.
Thanks!

I like the phone a lot - best phone I've bought (out of six).

To the person below. Use bluetooth or a data cable. Only two options unless you have internet capabilities.

Upload your own MP3 to your phone via bluetooth. Send/Push the mp3 from the computer.

On the NEC phone, goto
"accessory" menu, then
"bluetooth" menu, then
"voice/modem" menu, then
"pair new device" menu, then
Select "wait for connect".

Now send mp3 from a bluetooth enabled pc.

Note: Ensure at Bluetooth is ON under the voice/modem menu. I think it is set to OFF by default.

This is my second month with this phone.
The design of the phone is awesome, but the rest of it:

- Battery lasts nothing, one day and a half maximum.
- Keyboard is very uncomfortable.
- Voice quality is horrible. I hear OK, but guys on the other side never understand me. They say they hear my voice "far away" and with background noise.
- The cover of the SIM card has already broken.

So, my advice is not to buy it, unless you are a fashion victim, like me.
