I bought this phone intending to use it as a back-up phone/pocketable phone to my PDA phone. Unfortunately, it has a very primitive (as opposed to basic) user interface that is not easy to navigate. The phone also turns out to be much thicker than I had hoped - its no RAZR. The cover does have the speaker, but is otherwise a cheap-feeling plastic shell that adds to the already thick body. There is a colorful display of flashing lights and tones when the phone powers up and shuts down, but otherwise, it's nothing notable. The battery/back cover is a bit of a pain to remove - it requires two hands - one to press the release button, the other to slide the cover off.

I haven't had a Motorola phone for ages, but this seems like a skin job on some old platform. The software seems as old as the StarTac phones of yesteryear. Get with it Moto! - your software is the most primitive in the industry.

My last phone was run over by a passing RV and I was in desperate need of a new one. I stopped by the local Cingular Store and pick this one up. For me it was the look and feel that sold me. Well if all i was doing was looking and feeling this phone would be great, but it sucks at anything else. I can barely hear anyone when I driving. The menu is a big pain in the ass. Cingular didn't even have anything on this phone, so when I bought it I had to manually enter codes in order to get text messaging and other functions working...lets put it this way, here I am on Amazon looking to buy a new phone because this one is useless(and I paid $200 for it at a Cingular Store).
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE YOU WILL REGRET IT!

I bought this phone and returned it within one week!! Really bad signal reception. Also, the phone kept ringing even after I disconnected the call. Spoooky! I don't know if it was just the phone that I got that was faulty or the model itself.

The phone is however trendy and sleek! Nice to own but not so nice to use.. :(

The reception is bad. Callers have trouble getting a hold of me as I have no idea they are calling me because the phone doesn't ring. Sometimes I also don't get voicemails or missed calls until I get someplace where the phone gets better reception. I live in a city area, and have not had these kind of problems with other phones using the same carrier. Also, the speaker is not loud enough even when the volume is at the maximum level. I have trouble hearing people when driving on the highway, and it is impossible to hear anything if in a crowded area. The phone has a lot of features, but they are kind of useless. The rhythm lights don't make much sense to me, but kids might like them. I do get a lot of compliments on the look of the phone, but that certainly doesn't outweigh the fact that I would have better luck making a call with a tin can and string. By the way, the only reason I gave this phone two stars instead of one is because of the included soccer game (I can't stop playing it, it's very addictive).

This phone looks cool, but man does it suck. Cheap, cheap, cheap, barely useable. Worst sound quality ever.

i bought this phone, my wife like the looks of it..but all the functions are worst

I got the phone set up was easy and the reception is better than my 2 other phones one is a sony s710a and a LG 3100i with cingular, this e380 gets better reception than both by far , I get service where I cant get service with the other two my location is orange county, ca.

This phone is fully functional. It is everything that I wanted in a new cellphone. The ring tones are good, the service is good, the only thing I don't like is the fragile feel of using the phone without a headset, which I don't do, so there's nothing at all wrong with this phone except someone who wants EVERYTHING. If you want a great phone without paying an arm and a leg, then this is the phone for you. If you want EVERYTHING, go spend a fortune, but they don't get much better than this.

I really love this phone. It has awesome ringtones and I love that it lights up beautiful colors. You can also set this phone to light up to the beat of music, which only does it for 10 straight minutes, but it's still really neat. It's light and sleek, and everyone compliments me on how awesome it is. The only bad thing I can say about this phone is that it sometimes won't ring, like 2-3 times a month, so not a lot, but turning it off and on again fixes that problem. Also, I am not recieving text messages right away. It usually takes a whole day to get the text message but that could have something to do with my phone service. All in all, I am very satisfied with this product. The shipping was fast too. I got my phone in like 2 days!!

AS A NO FRILLS, BASIC, STAY IN TOUCH DEVICE,THIS PHONE BARELY MAKES THE GRADE.EVERYTHING ABOUT IT RINGS SIMPLICITY.FROM THE WAY TOO SMALL TOUCH KEY PAD TO THE "DOES IT REALLY GLOW IN THE DARK-BARELY- BACKLIGHT DISPLAY ,THI8S PHONE ERUPTS ADEQUACY.DEFINITELY NOT WHAT I WAS SHOPPING FOR BUT THE PRICE SEEMED RIGHT.WON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN.FOR THOSE OF YOU INCLINED TO BUY....DON'T.THERE ARE BETTER VALUES.DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
