same! the creaky covers are irritating but no choice many fones are like that but STILL LOVES THIS PHONE fantastic features but just one more step to the king of all (video ) which is E680 btw i think it won't be cheap cos of the smart features that simly makes it into a smartphone with entertainment features which is EXTREME!!!!!!!!!!

heres one way to have free wallpaper and cool graphics for your e398: go either to animation factory.com or to best animations.com and download all the cool wall papers screen savers you want! an easy way to do this would be to right click on the desired image and save them on your pc. afterwards upload these images into your phone through the supplied software and usb! the phone can display all screen savers like a powerpoint presentation! have fun folks!

To gysa - you may need to updgrade your software...seems some problem with s/w. E398 accepts .3gp files as video. It does not play AVI files.

i just got my e398 a week ago. its a great phone. however, when i opened the box i was givin 16mb memory card instead of 64. did any one else have this problem? im having problems putting videos on the phone too. i think they have to be in avi format but it hasnt worked yet or i cant find the file when i look on the phone. another downside is my headset. it looks nice but is flimsy. its really sensitive and will switch between the headset n speakers when touched.

I newly own the phone (nov 4 2004) and already got problems with the phone. camera always "BUSY, TRY LATER" and one some menus phone always backs itself up to previous menu when I choose "SELECT/CHANGE". maybe the problem is linked but overall, I love the phone. it's great & much better than my old nokia 3390!

Damn,now Motorola E680 is coming out soon.Now I have more headaches on which phones to choose from Motorola.Motorola is certainly kickin some fine Nokia,SE and Siemens asses in terms in offering superb features.Nokia's market is on a decline wohoo!Some assclowns still prefer the over-priced and featureless Nokia phones.
So my question is,since the Motorola E680 hasnt been released yet (except in China,Hong Kong i think),what do you think will the price be in Singapore?I know this is a thread about the E398,but im not sure which one to buy.Someone enlighten me please :)

To louise,
Try this, if your phone is with firmware 95R or later, go to Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> USB Settings and change *Default Connection : to Data/Fax Connection.
Then your phone will be detected as a modem by your computer :) if u still have problems, try calling up Motorola Service Center...
To L Maestro AkA Cool W,
I bought the phone at S$ 268 at a promotion when it was S$298 with 2 year contract (M1) about 1 mth ago...Now it should be around S$250...
You can always call up the service provider to ask...
