Motorola e398 from Dial a Phone

Worgie · 16-02-2005, 21:04

I am considering buying a Motorola E398 from Dial a Phone on T mobile. Does anybody have any views on this phone or dial a phone?

I would get money back via a redemption scheme, have any members had any problems with getting the money back from dial a phone?

Also can I use bluetooth to transfer MP3's & Pictures from my PC onto the Phone?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, I don't know anything about dial a phone. But I have the phone and think it's great. It has one annoyance but that's not much. The start up and shut down noise can't be tured off without having to put the phone on silent.

It comes with a memory card which is great for the MP3 capability. And yes you can use bluetooth to transfere stuff. Although it also come with a data cable and software, I haven't used that, I just use the memory card with a card reader.

It takes great pictures too.

The phone is great although bluetooth is a bit slow on Motorolas but still its got the best mp3 sound out on a phone and theres a data cable provided to transfer things from your pc to the phone

Steven Gray16, nockie3 & boozer3.

Many thanks for your posts folks, much appreciated.

Phone arrived today, a couple of questions. When you transfer stuff from your PC what format do you use, I assume MP3 for music, Jpg for Photo's and MPEG for Video?

Can you download any stuff for your PC from Motorola or anywhere else, like a Calendar, etc to then transfer to the phone?

Thanks in advance for your respones.
