Different box contents and other questions

[bere41]

I've been lookin at this phone for a while and i see that there was another post about the different box shapes and what comes in each one. i think they said that the rectangular box has the two stylus' and also the games NFS most wanted, SIMS, AoE and MoH. so i guess my main question is if i order from HKS, will it be the rectangular box with all those games? i want to buy one for around $300. also, does anyone else has Cellular One? cause thats what i have and the E6 should work with it because they have SIM cards and they only require tri-band. the only other questions i can think of right now are how easy is it to get music on the E6 and does it accept 4 gig cards yet? and also how does the touch screen hold up after the wear and tear of being in a pocket and used a lot? cause my friend had a pda that got scratched a lot just from being in a pocket. thanks in advance.....im a noob, ik. lol

I will try to answer all of your questions here. I ordered my phone from HKS (VERY highly recommended, among the best online purchases I have ever made) and it came in the funky rectangle box with all NFS, AoE II, etc. and 2 stylus along with the rest of the normal software and wall charger. A quick note about the charger I received. It appeared to have 3 huge prongs that obviously would not fit the sockets here in the US. They also sent an adapter, but it was the wrong adapter for the US as well. Upon further inspection, there was a small screw below and right of the prongs. When removed, the piece with the prongs slides up off the top and VOILA! there's the US 2 blades that you flip down to plug in the wall. Anyway, I am on Cellular one and I had no problems setting the phone up and it works flawlessly. It has the best reception of any phone I have ever owned. I was also concerned about scratches and such on the screen, so I ordered a screen protector from:

If you search you can find great reviews on them. I also ordered a clear plastic case for it which turned out to be a great bargain. It came with the plastic case, a screen protector that seems identical to the brando one, and a small microfiber cloth for wiping the screen....all for $4.99 shipped. Look on Ebay for seller:

I also have a horizontal leather puch for it coming that I will report on when I get it.

I bought a Transcend 4GB SD card from www.newegg.com that works great as well. Here is the link:

For some reason you cannot access the 4GB cards through the phone in mass storage mode. This seems to be a common issue with all 4GB cards. All you have to do is stick the card in the phone first and let the phone format the card. Then you have to use an SD card reader on your computer to read/write to the card and it works like a champ! Also make sure that any time you are taking the card out of the phone you "eject" it through the system menu....that will make more sense once you have the phone and read the manual.

I hope that helps you out. It is a great phone and I highly recommend it.

got the same kind of box as you from a store in NYC chinatown



such a simple solution to the charger problem... I got an adapter as well and mine did fit but it was still way too big with the big 3 prong thing AND the US adapter.. so what i was doing was using the charger from the Bt headset i have HT820.. it took longer to charge because it only puts out 550mAh

anyway.. just took off the big 3 prongs very compact to carry now

Glad I could help. Yeah, I was very pleased when I figured that out because I had seen how big the thing was going to be with the adapter and I was not looking forward to it.

As I promised, I am reporting on the horizontal leather case I got for my E6. I got it on Ebay from a seller named: bliss.trade. It is a nice, soft black leather with a nice contrasting dark gray stitching. It has a belt clip and what appears to be a belt safety loop that snaps around the back of your belt to prevent the common occurance of sitting down and having the clip come off your belt. It has a soft lining to help protect the phone from scratching, and a magnetic flap closure over the top. One side of the case (top or bottom of the phone) has a larger opening so depending on orientation of the phone it provides access to either the headphone jack or the USB port. The thing I like best about the case is that my phone fits in it WITH the clear plastic case on it as well. Now I have several "layers" of protection with screen saver, plastic case, and leather case. The phone is actually slightly loose in the case if I take the plastic case off. I am very happy with everything considering I spent less than USD $20.
