Motorola E398 - user opinions and reviews
- Confused
Hey moto-rians,
1. 56kbps
I suggest you try out 56kbps mp3s. I got good sound quality with them and have stored 35 songs on the trans card, and still left with 9.7mb of free space.
2. AAC
I'm experimenting the encoding and will announce my findings. All I know is E398 does not directly support this MP4-AAC format. So stick to Mp3 n don't rush to convert your tunes to MP4. Remind yourself this is a all-in cellphone, so for functions it's bits of this bits of that. It does not have the full features of for example, an ipod or a digital camera or a pda.
3. Voice recording.
*Announcement* FOUND!
Here's how to record voice. This is unofficial and undocumented.
Message->New MMS->Insert->Voice Record->(record n store)->OK->(send to: one time entry... then enter(a fake email address), To: x@x ->OK->Message Options->Save To Drafts.
Check Your email, draft folder. There you go have a voice recorded message!
Enjoy! (don't get) Confused..

Oh sh*t I was ju.u.u.u.u.u.st about to trade-in my SX1 for this phone when I read here that it doesn't record movies. WTF??
Can anybody else pls confirm with me that, indeed, it doesn't record movies? That sucks man! And no IR either? Man, and I thought I found the perfect phone...

OK, so the Sony erricson supports aac meaning up to 40 tunes on SE, plus it's smaller in form and has FM. But cmon people, Moto E398 has a better quality screen, mpeg4 playback, costum headphones to be used (2.5 only, no big looking DJ style headphones), and has up to 128mb of memory soon to be 256mb =)
The pearl and red version, perhaps with some Phillips in-ear phones with noise cancelling and bass boost; lol drooling just thinking about the metal tunes I will be listening to.

topcat, at 96kbps or even 80 kbps sound quality is very good in the speakers. A diference is noticeable at 64kbps...
For video converting use nokia multimedia converter, it doest the job for me.
an mp3 converting program is available on the motorola cd which comes with the phone.

It actually doesn't support aac...I tried that before...it didn't recognize the file.
- Ari_0
It appears e398 doesn't support that. look who's stupid now. LOL!
All I care about to be honest is the ability to use headphone that I like with this phone. So yes, still buying it. =)

Sorry for calling you lot stupid. But think about it. This phone supports the AAC format as well as mp3. Now the AAC is made by Apple, meaning a 5mb tune would be 1.2mb on AAC. The Quicktime version of AAC is supposed to be better quality and compression than mp3. Only the Quicktime version though. Other third party copiers/ formatters suck!!. So 128mb = 120 tunes =)

hey everyone.
i know its 22khz through the speakers, but what about headphone playback? in other words, will it matter if mp3 quality is dropped to make more songs fit on the transflash card?

To dEck:
I guess your right. The forwarding problem occured when my inbox had more than 40 text messages. After I deleted half of it, the forwarding worked fine.
BTW, can anyone please tell me if I can listen MP3s through BT headset? I'm planning to buy one for the sole purpose of listening MP3s, and I want to be sure b4 I buy. I hate the dangling cable of the supplied headset.
Thanks!!!
