music phonez! (formerly SE W550i or MOTO E398)

my concen with motorola e398, larvs is that a friend of mine has this before but pilian daw ug files. ang dili daw kayu nice ug cam. dark ang pictures kuha maski using the led light. and dali ra daw maguba ang transflash card. napaayo nya iyang phone kay naguba maski bag-o pa and the moto service center couldnt fix it kay motherboard prob daw. they had to send it back to singapore to have the motherboard changed. but larvs has really intrigued me to get to try this phone out. Personally ive never liked moto coz its not as user friendly (you gota have more clicks to get to something) and the service support availability here is another issue.

i thot lig-on ang e398 and great quality iya VGA cam?

ive been searching for e398 camera reviews and sample pics. wla man koy nakit-an pa. will search somemore. maybe larvs can help us out. bro larvs, any sites naay cam review sa e398? or sample pics na iyang kuha. basin naa kay info ana or better yet, some sample pics from your phone.

yep, moto sucks man jud. OS wise bati jud, hinay jud kaayo. but i think hardware wise ok man. kapila naman Â*natagak ako phone. three days ago, ako man gibutang ibabaw medicine cabinet while doing my thing sa toilet. then wa ko kabantay nilihok na diay to kay tungod sa bass. na tagak jud among medicine cabinet kay na-unhook man sa lansang nga gi-bitayan. mga 5 feet jud ang dive sa ako phone. intact man gyapon pero na pawng lang. ok raman gyapon pag-on nako. kung bati and k750i, adto nalang w800i. karaan naman gud ni e398. libog ko mu-advice noh? hehe. sa support raman gud ko malingaw sa moto. kung wa pa nako nakit-an ang support forum, dgay na siguro nako gi-dispose ako e398. cam is okay for me. here a sample. nangadto mi bohol ani kay namomba sa mangga.: <a href="http://img384.imageshack.us/my.php?i...0514226uy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/3...4226uy.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a> ambot pero sa ako, ok namani. matog a ko. oi. init kaayo!

btw, OEM cam quality is worse. again, flashing improves a lot of features.

does modding provide a solution on how slow the OS reponds?

Larvs, no prob. Those were just a couple of my observations. I borrow her phone almost everyday and i know the phone like it was mine. All I can say about the W800 vs the K750 is that hardware is the same. If you're not tight on budget, go get the SE W900.

Chanbri, yup... im referring to the joystick when i say toggle nav key. I was also eying on the Xphone II, Samsung D500, Philips 760, Philips Xenium 9@9e, and the new phones from Asus. I was about to give you the same link from mobile-review... hehe. I guess you figured it out yourself. I just knew I'm not the only person who reads from mobile-review.com. Tell your friend that I second the motion. Pics from E398's camera is rather dim like there is some cloud in between the subject. And that exists even with proper lighting. An old friend has the phone.

Aridoasis...yes, modding can possibly improve performance but noone does that extensively other than the makers themselves... not unless you yourself start it today. I know you're really confused by now. Just keep on reading. This by far is the best review site I've found on the net - http://mobile-review.com/review-en.shtml.

i've read reviews from mobile-review and gsmarena already (they're usually my primary sources for phone previews and reviews ) from what they're saying about the e398, it's a great phone.

anyways, to be blunt, i'm only in it for the stereo music - i'm no too fusssy about other details except for bluetooth connectivity. i like to keep my phone and camera separate, so a megapixel cam on a phone isn't necessary. :mrgreen:

The stereo sound on SE W550 is great. There is even stereo widening. The only good thing about Mot E398 is the vibrating bass effect. I'm not even sure if the sound is loud enough when listeningn through loud speaker mode?!

[larvs]

but bro, batt drains waay fast if you use the stereo of e398. what i do is when sleeping, i play my mp3's while the phone is hooked to the charger.
