Motorola E398 TriBand Mobile Phone w/Camera (2) Bluetooth 27 July 2004
Interface and Functionality
A 5 way navigation joystick is located at the
centre of the phone for instant access to the various functions of the phone.
The speed is average and we see that there is a lag when keying in SMS. We
discovered that if you are in SMS mode and a new SMS comes in, you will not be
notified until you go back to the main menu. This is something that needs to be
resolved.
