    To upload apps is extreamly easy once you have enable java (this is a 2 min job max).

    The phone is still the best bang for buk on the market.

    The video play back is fine. i have no issues. The max t-flash iv herd of is 256, but im sure a 512 will work.

      To Alamo,
      I am using XP with service pack 2 and theres no problem. my pc detects phone as usb drive as long as you set the phone usb settings connection to memory.
      TO NEW USER,
      I have video d-loaded to my E398 by blue tooth from nokia 6600 . its on 3G format and theres no difference on the quality. its the same. I just dont know what other people are talking about.considering its price, man this phone is great.

      I have a friend who bought SE K700i. at first he was ecstatic aboutit. it has video recording but lately, he has problems with it, it hangs and hangs real bad. he has to remove the battery to make it function.

          If the pc detects the phone directly on Windows 2000 ... should'nt it work the same way on XP. i hope it does. B'coz it seems a whole lot easier to transfer files that way.
          and can any1 tell me ... is it true the mp3's need to be on ur phone n not the T-Flash card for it to be used as a ringtone?

            I've been using the E398 for almost one month now. I really like the abilility to play MP3s. However, I wish the phone directory would allow more contact information such as street addresses to be stored. I have been able to sidestep that problem though. I use my palmOne Tungsten T3 for that. One neat thing I have been able to do is use the Palm Dialer application to dial via bluetooth while listening to MP3s through the stereo headset. I have also been able to transfer photos from the e398 to my Tungsten T3 via bluetooth without any trouble. I have also successfully sent SMS from my Tungsten via bluetooth using the Agendus Pro Palm application. It is a lot easier to input messages on the Tungsten.

            When connecting the e398 to my desktop Windows 2000 computer, Windows 2000 automatically installs a driver and treats the e398 as a USB flash disk. I am able to use Windows Explorer to copy and paste files directly onto the TransFlash card without using the setup cd bundled with the phone. I would recommend that anyone using this phone upgrade the TransFlash card to at least 128MB . To improve performance, you should also format the new card before you use it. Overall, this phone is great!

              to new user,
              you are right. nokia ngage looks ugly. moto E398 looks cool. you may be tempted to fuzz around it like installing skins,games but believe me there are guys who f####d up thier phones that way. if you are new to it, my piece of advice, let the professionals do it lest you want your new phone f####d up. I have read on other threads new phones F####d this way, and believe me they sure regretted it.

                    Umm the e398 video recording is a hot topic. The new v635 the e398 and v600 cross breed may possibly have the right firmware to activate the video recording. Any opinions beacuse this would greatly increase the phones overall popularity

                      i may be a gaming freak, but i do intend to use to the phone for other purposes. to me the N-Gage iz a senseless buy. Games aint that important that it decides the look of the phone.
                      n thanks Shaneus ... that site seems to be usefull.
                      but if u need to go through all that trouble (though may be n easy procedure) to install games/app, is'nt a nokia or SE better ?
                      Honest opinion need... im not too smart where all this hi-tech phones r concerned. i like to keep it simple. thanx

                                is there a difference when installing games on the E398 compared to the K700 or 6230?
                                the nokia's and the sony ericcsons are simple when it comes to using its features.
                                im told the motorola is a lot more complicated comparatively.
                                if i have Java games on my PC is it that tough to transfer them to my Phone ?
                                buying this phone in a few days, and im a gaming freak. this and the battery life is something im concerned about.
                                thanx.

                                    k ... thanks, im guessing thats not too bad and a fully functional alarm. My only doubts about this phone was about the alarm and the synchronised vibrate n ringing of the phone when the calls comes in, which seems to be an existing feature on this phone.
                                    well now one more thing .... Like the N6230 being based on n Symbian system, whats the e398 based on and also the K700i, if anyone knows bout that.(any plus pts or drawbacks with this system)
