I called tmobile and they offered the Motorola E398 for free. They're even sending it to me for delivery tomorrow, a full week before my renewal point, and more than 6 weeks before the end of my contract! I have 7 days to decide if I want to keep it, and I'll be comparing it closely to my friends K700.
Happy days! Thanks everyone

It came today, and the most amzing thing is the sound! It's quite literally rocking. Theres a Java MP3 player to get my head around. I'm not having loads of luck with the Bluetooth at the moment but I think it's a case of RTFM

First impressions are that it's not as elegant (external design & interface) as SE, but it's pleasant enough and the screen is brilliant.

USB data cable included Plasmadog! this phone was your recommendation so cheers to you. I've ordered a white / red housing from eBay (I haven't set high expectations on that) but I'm totally impressed with the price of TransFlash - £17 for 128MB? Loving it.

The ugliest thing that has happened is that i would have thought the Motorola MPx as a PERFECT fone for me (upgrading from my XDA2) then, they come up with a low memory issue and slow processor
I'm quite dissapointed, Now i wait for the XDAIII (or whatever they call it) though that wont be my perfect fone either, its too big. .

But anyway, fnding a perfect fone is too difficult. You come close to finding one, but then someting is always wrong.

It's 3 months since I had the Motorola e398 and it has developed problem after problem. Reboots if you try and send file by bluetooth, not discoverable on inbound bluetooth connections, shocking battery life (even with low usage), flash card image files corrupted, MP3 files 'not found' by the bundled Java MP3 player, charging cable connection loose, plastic Tmobile logo has fallen off, scrolling through image list grinds the phone to a halt. It takes almost a minute to boot up, and if you receive a call from a contact with a picture assigned to it (a 5k file) you can wait for several rings before the image makes it to the screen! I spent more than a month playing with it so cannot return it to Tmobile, but it has been away for 'repair' once and came back with the same problems. I don't want this phone any more, but signed up for an 18 month contract. I am gutted as this phone, in terms of listed specifications, met my requirements (the alternative at the time was the K700, which didn't). I do feel better for getting that off my chest anyway
