Is the screen too small as compared to N 6600? does 4X zoom works well or it destroys the picture quality. what's the max length upto which we can store mp3. Does it support onle .3gp or other formats also. How many mp3 songs can we store to a max. If i use games and listen music for about half an hour does batterty lasts for atleast 2 days?

To pkc:
1.) this is normal (as kristy said)
2.) my dial key doesn't work that way, too. probably a software problem. setup as kristy said, and refer to next comment.
3.) once you set smart key from voice dial to another shortcut, you can't set it
back manually. only master clear can do that.
4.) try they have everything you need about java games and apps, including installation.
about screen being red, you're right but when you transfer pics to a PC, it renders the correct color
- kristy
to pkc,
1. yes its normal for the screen to look like that. i don't see how its a problem, when would you ever want to look at your screen from below?
2. you have to set up voice dials in your phone book first:
-go to the phonebook
-go to the name you want to attach a voice tag to.
-press the menu key (the top middle one)
-go to 'edit'
-go to 'voice name'
3. To change the smart key back to voice dial. menu->settings->personalise->home screen->home keys->smart key.
hope that helps. luv kristy

Does the E398 have a night mode or just the flash? I suppose the flash would be effective only for objects close by.

hey shabbar, what's the password to download the pst file?do you know how to remove padlocked files?

Screen is way better than the Nokia 6600, Camera works great in daylight but has some noise at night, flash only works when your subject is super close to the phone, bluetooth works properly, you can download java games I don't think you could use symbian programs simply because this doesn't run on that OS.
- Anupam
Is the screen better than Nokia 6600? Is camera a cool one and how does it respond in night? Is flash is just a play function or it does a serious job? Is bluetooth working properly? Can we download java games and symbian applications.

To sheena : use the software from the CD and browse through the help files. All you need to know about transferring MP3 is there. I can’t say it’s hard to put MP3’s to my E398 but it’s not very easy at times via the Motorola Phone Tools. Using a card reader is the fastest. But via USB should be no problem.
To Apple: Turn off the phone and remove the SIM Card. Put it back, then turn on phone.
To fustrated gal: videos must be in 3gp format or mp4 so that it could play.
To Kristy : make sure format is mp3. Maybe files are corrupt or incomplete that’s why there’s a problem. Most music CD’s must be converted to mp3 first so the phone can play it.
To Eddy : your problem is very typical. All I can say is be patient.
To Anupam : it’s a very good phone. If strictly as a phone, battery lasts 3 days. But if you use multimedia a lot, you may have to charge it every night. Typical day for me is SMS-2hrs, Calls-30min, MP3 – 3 hrs, java games-1 hr. I get about 50 hrs.
To jerry: yes, extra card and battery is available
To Tom: the CD that comes with your purchase should enable you to use the USB Cable.
To jojo : re your comments: 1) in standby mode the battery can last up to 80 hours. Check out review at mobileburn.com. I agree with most of the comments. There’s something wrong with your battery if you don’t get as much. No.2) there’s a way to put SMS to phone memory but it involves complex reprogramming which I don’t recommend. Also go to your nearest Motorola Service Center to have your software upgraded so that your no. 3 comment can be corrected.
