So, I finally bought this cel phone, and I ALREADY heavy some problems...
Not so big, its about the mp3 player. Sometimes (not so rarely...) it fails, and the music stoped. I read that its because this mp3 player only plays tracks 64k bit rate with 100% guaranteed. Tracks tath have more than 64k of bit rate could have problems (although that many musics on my cell with 128kb are playing very well...)
Thats the only problem I found ... (in 5 days)
Ps. Sorry about my english!

Well... indeed this is 1 good phone. I have been using it almost a year. The only drawback is the processing speed. Currently, I'm using 512mb T.Flash card n this phone tend to lag a lot...

I did flashed my phone to enable video record... But it is not very impressive either...

Bluetooth speed is kinda slow compare to se or samsung phone...

I recommend to all possible buyer to play with it about 10-20 minutes first b4 buying it...

hi WONG this is for u,

Im using e398 mobile for the past 5 months..I faced the similar problem as u did.. but now its working fine..

i think i have a solution for ur problem, Try to do this & see, it might work.

"First of all u should have a software named musicmatch installed in ur PC. Some other software's also might have this feature.

If installed:-

Goto file menu & goto options & click on convert then convert all ur MP3 songs by choosing the option 56 Kbps or 128 Kbps... (Note: all ur mp3 songs should be in one kbps mode either 56 or 128 or whatever the kbps (i hope im correct)).

Try it & see.

if u need help b in touch..

do u have softwares for video recording / fm radio / voice recording.

in deleting all contacts on fone, this procedure can be applicable too..

enjoy!
