i bought this phone last week for rm1400 (in malaysia).. i found that the tft screen.. despite the hi-res 65k-color has some reddish problem when displaying dark/black images.. is it normal for motorola's phone?.. i'll go to motorola service center tomorrow to have it checked..

there's also some bug .. eg: i cant answer calls when there's a new unread sms indicated on the display.

I bought E398 on the 17th of July 2004, 3 days after its launch in Kuala Lumpur. I have to say, this is THE best phone I have every had till date. its mp3 ring tones with BASS is too good and its interface is as good as it goes. The best part is, I can connect it to my computer, send SMS and do eveything from my desktop. This is a must have. I give it 10 out 10. I have dropped the phone once and its as strong as steel. Not a scratch. I have had it for 20 days now and I am on top of the world. if you wanna know something abt the phone, u can mail me, cheers.

To jasp-jasp. Wap is like dialup internet for your fone GPRS is like broadband internet for your fone. Tri & quad-band means your fone supports three/four different bandwiths.
Texting is very user friendly.
