    To aris
    My phones behaves similarly.
    He DOES NOT find any close bluetooth devices when searching. It does find a device when copying/moving a given file.
    I think it is a bug.

      To ^_^x
      When you say it rings and vibrates at the same time what do you mean? I am not able to have classic ring tones (e.g. continental) and vibration.

      My phone rings and vibrates only with more complex sounds, such as, for example, mp3 songs.

      Suggestions?

        To raqeeb: yes, the E398 allows file transfer via bluetooth without any problems.

        I just noticed when using "look for devices" under bluetooth/hands free, most of the time it will say no devices found though a 6630 & k700 is beside it BUT when if i select a file to send then use "look for devices" option, ONLY then it would pick up the bluetooth devices nearby. any similar experience from you guys?

              I think E398 certainly looks more sleek than Nokia 6230. I just can't stop admiring it's design everyday. The sound quality of the mp3player is really amazing! This phone is the thing I have being waiting for, it's my mp3 player, it's my phone. ;-) The cons is that Moto OS is still a bit laggy. Needs more work to better the performance. ;-)

                evil666; e398 is truly a better phone than 6230. It is better if you go check both at a phone store before you so you could see the difference

                  To Jezz-the phone stores SMS on the SIM by default,you have to do some seem editing to get it to store SMS into the phone's memory.

                  To Betty-It's good, you can feel it very well, and it rings and vibrates at the same time. And yes, the mp3s stored on the card can't be used as ringtones.

                  To me-that's probably MPT.

                  To Onizuka1111-Open the phone's rear, and grasp the battery with your thumb and index finger...you should be able to pull it out.

                  To Gennaro-smooth probably has older firmware version. Try formatting your card. Try re-installing MPT.

                  To Dan-just search the net...it's somewhere out there.

                  To Devil-I've taken the battery off for over an hour and the time and date are still there. And you can't use the mp3s on the card as tones.

                  To Evil666-go ahead. This one is much better than the 6230 anyway.

                  To
                  Peacemaker-you have to get P2kman, tht'swhat you have to use to get the pre-installed ringtones out.

                  To RandallSSC-use Mobile Phone Tools, or if you have the feature, use the phone as a USB drive and drag and drop files into the card. Or use a card reader, that would be much easier.

                  To Smooth-get the lates firmware available...it should speed the phone up.

                  To Angel-T-from wqaht I know, when you assign ringtones by category, that will also serve as the message alert tone.

                  To Hassan-convert your videos to .3gp. That should work.

                  To Trevor-it's a little bit wider, but not by very much. It's also a bit heavier, but that's probably because this is loaded with so many features unlike the 3200.

                    e398 is best in its class at the moment. I think Motorola should continue with E398 model and upgrade it with more features.

                        How big is this phone? I currently have a Nokia 3200, and I'm thinking about gettin' the MOTO E398, and I like to know if it is a little bigger than the 3200, because it kinda looks about same size as the 3200 from Nokia

                              I have given up on the MPT. I was playing around with it a few weeks ago and it screwed up my TF card. Now, all my MP3 files are gone, but the card memory is still full. I think it corrupted the card. I had to go back to the MOTOSTATION for re-formatting, and now, the phone lags when the card is in but quick when it is out. Should I upgrade the firmware at this point?

                                    Hey guys,
                                    I have switched from Nokia to E398 and I think it is a superb phone. Easy to use with alot of goodies. However, I can't seems to figure out how to remove the preset tune from the phone as I need moer space for my own downloaded tune. Does anyone knows how?

                                      I think they gave me a wrong version of Mobile Phone Tools. I installed the one a friend of mine received when he bought the cable. Now everything works fine. Now I have all the various studios (image, melody, ecc.).
                                      Thanks
