To Ebonk: Thanks, yea, I added a few new themes to me e398 with the TF mem and Sim in it, nothing happened. Is the 98R the latest firmware update? is there a newer version? I have heard stories abt a new firmware that lets you record vidoes and increase remove the max 5 alarm cap, is this true?

To Karthik - if you reflash your e398, it will erase your skin/themes, but I don't think reflexing will erase them, it should only affect specific flex. But prepare for the worst, it's not so difficult to install skin/theme - unless starting & stop page
To Sherry - s/w included in CD (MPT & Magix) r for sync yr PC w/ e398 and add/edit/create pic, audio & add video. Java, skin/theme not included.

Can someone confirm if it is ok to flex your phone (with themes) with the TF memory and the sim card in the phone? I understand that the TF mem and Sim have to come out when upgrading the firmware, but is it the same for skins/themes as well?

Well, I finally got around to flex my e398 and I am very much impressed with 98R. What I am really amaized was that before flexing I had a dead pixel on me e398, and with the flexing its gone. is that really possible? i thought it was more of a hard ware issue. hmmmm

For install Java you need to activate Java Application Loader from your Java Settings. By default this is not available but you can available it with P2K Tools. And finally use Midway to install it to your phone. For ringtone problems, just master clear then master reset your phone.

To Sherry - I sent it for an anonymous mailer who has d/l java games and has waited 5 days for instructions how to install them.
D/l using GPRS should be easier for you.
To Bill, if you can play your ringtone, I don't think its corrupted. It might be a glitch. To set ringtone, you can go to Multimedia>Sounds>Select your sound (this sound should be in phone memory) and click menu, in pop-up display select "Apply as ringtone" > select line 1 or 2.

To Sherry-the game will be automatically installed if you download it through GPRS.
To Bill-you probably have a corrupted ringtone.

To those asking abt install java games/apps.
1st, java apps/games should be in phone memory not Trans. To enable java loader u need PST 6.7 or later and to send java apps u need Midway 2.8. Don't ask where u can get it. Find it yrself !
2nd, Install s/w on yr PC, set USB connection on e398 to Data/Fax (default setting : Trans), connect yr phone to PC (in windows, it will ask to install motorola usb modem, follow the instructions - some drivers will be installed).
Load PST, select "New File" > kjava files. In windows menu, click icon "arrow go out from handphone", it will connect to yr handphone (if it fail check yr driver) and show a menu which you can find a button to enable/disable java. Put it on enable and close the program, disconnect yr handphone fr PC.
3rd, install midway 2.8. In yr handphone, go to Java Setting > Java App Loader>Select, it will ask you to connect the data cable to PC, do it.
Load Midway in Windows, It will ask COM port that connect to yr handphone. Check thru Control Panel > Phone & Modem Options> Modems. Set the data connection speed to 115200. Then select File>open> choose yr java (*.jad file, if it's still *.jar file download JADmaker to create *.jad). Send the file to yr handphone.
In yr handphone, it will prompt "Download?" Select yes and java is transferred and install to yr phone. After finished, it will ask you whether to run that apps or not.
Pls be aware that recommended size of *.jar file for e398 is below 100kb, although I succesfully installed 176kb jar file but failed when loading 300kb file.
