- Downloadable themes (ringtones, wallpaper & screensavers)
- Instant messaging
- Group SMS
- WAP 2.0, GPRS
- RS232 cable for connecting to a computer
- Vibration alert
- iTap predictive text
- Phone book: 300 names

alerts, PIM functionality

I have had this phone about 1 year now. My overall impression is it's
OK but i wouldn't recomend any one to buy one as there are many better
phones availble. My first comment is on the 'dust cap'. It is supposed
to prevent dust getting on the lens. it should of been called 'dust
magnet' becuase all the little troth does is collect dust!! Secondly
taking pictures. As mentioned a few times in other comments you have
to hold the phone still for about 2 secnods after pressing the button
to take a picture and i have not have many good quality pictures from
it. Lastly, just recently people who i have been talking to on the phone
have said i come accross very quietly and muffeled. Meaning i now have
to shout down the phone for people to hear me. This maybe because i
have recently damaged the phone or it could be there is another 'dust
magnet' where the phone picks up sound. There appears no way of taking
it apart either. So overall... If you find a E365 n you aint got a phone
then keep it its ok. But don't buy one!

I would second all the stuff mentioned by Drabs89 in the section "Reviewed
by Drabs89 from Australia on 2nd Apr 2005". It has been beautifully
summed up in the section. After buying the phone I realised in one month
the mistake I had made. I miss the infrared i had in my previous phone
and the usb justs ties me down to my computer if i need to transfer
anything to and fro my phone. However, its funny so many people actually
bought this phone. :) It should not have been launched in the first
place considering its features are not future safe and poor connectivity
options. Hope motorola can tak in some feedback from this section to
improve the quality of their phones. ciao,

Reviewed by Mel from Australia on 2nd Apr 2005 me being 14, i think
it is a great phone. its got good graphics and good pictures and the
games are good to. For a business phone i don't think it would do very
well but for a casual phone it is great. The only problem is, it takes
a while to turn on and i can't find the service inbox. If anyone knows
where i can find the inbox that holds download ringtones it would be
greatly appreciated. Overall its an excellent phone for its price and
the graphics and colour is really good. Plus the pictures and screensavers
it has are better than any other phone. They are HOT! to get to service
inbox, go to browser then hold 0 until a screen appears with the ringtone
or pictures you need to download.

hi i got his phone off ebay, i was 13 when i received it. because i
had never had a colour phone before this i thought it was amazing.now
ill get down to the reveiw. good) the camara is excellent and very clear
but can be a bit jolty in low light conditions. comes with 5 full colour
games. a large memory to store as much as the phone can hold ringtones.(
i had 63 of my own ringtones on there) loud 16 bit polyphonic speaker.
bad) the texting is really slow and sometimes the phone misses letters
out. it dosent have java. it dosent have bluetooth or infra red which
would have been useful as my friends have bluetooth and infra red. it
wouldnt let me send mms which is really bad cause i had a really funni
photograph and i couldnt send it. BUT my phone just wouldnt turn on
so i had to get a new one. i now have a brand new samsung d600 (better
then d500) and if you can afford it get a d600 ! thanks for reading

This fone isn't that bad but it could be better. When taking photos
u have to wait a few seconds cause it's really slow. Also never use
the auto camera mode cause it's rubbish always use night mode even if
it's daylight. The keypad buttons are also a bit small and somtimes
u can end up pressing the wrong one. however the fone has got some good
ringtones and can hold a number of photos and messages. So my advice
to you is pay more money for a better fone cause if you buy this one
u won't be happy with it.

I still have my e365, and it is the first phone I have ever had. I bought
it exactly 9 months ago. At first I thought it was pretty cool having
a neat first phone (large colour screen, camera) and was either going
to buy this e365 or a Nokia 3200. This phone had a larger screen, which
to me was more important than the FM radio (In the 3200), plus the 3200
looks tacky with the plastic covers and dodgy cut-out covers and the
poor keypad, but hey that's just my opinion. Anyway... Some of the things
that I don't like about this phone: Has a loud keypad, and only good
if you have small hands, Takes sooo long to navigate through menus because
the phone is so SLOW! Camera, although of not that bad quality, not
of much use because of the time it takes to navigate through all of
the photos taken, and it takes a few seconds for the photos to be taken
after you press the "take" button. Photos can only really ever be taken
in 'night mode' because those taken in the 'automatic' lighting c ondition
are extremely poor. Plus, when viewing a photo, you need to return to
the previous menu the select the next photo to view it, which takes
even longer. Also, the sliding cover for the camera to protect its lense
is of not much use, as after a while it does not stay in place, and
just slides across when the phone is tilted. The mirror finish on the
phone (for when taking self-portraits) is of no use either - because
this cover sticks out of the back of the phone it is scratched and you
are unable to see pictures in it anyway. The ringtones on the phone
are very poor, there were no good default tones on there when I got
the phone, and ringtones are pretty expensive to get when you have NO
good ones to start with, so I was stuck with lame, crappy tones for
a while. The volume of the phone is not too bad, however cannot be heard
easily in noisy environments. The vibration alert on the phone is BAD.
Obviously, I'd use this when I don't want the phone to make a noise,
but I will still be able to tell when I receive a msg/call... Well the
vibration is noisy. I don't even see the point of it, coz it's just
like having the ringing alert on because it's so loud. Battery life
is rubbish- I last just over 1 day and then need to recharge my phone
again, and the connector to recharge the phone gets on my nerves coz
its rectangular, and you have to have it the right way around, not like
with Nokia's round connection points, anyway that's a minor thing but
it got on my nerves quickly. Texting is also rubbish- Takes sooo long
to write a msg because the phone is so slow, and because of the noisy
keypad, becomes a real pain. Not to mention how the custom words which
you make get deleted every time the phone is turned off, which really
sucks when a lot of the stuff you write isn't whole or actual words.
And this isn't helped when the phone decides to randomly turn itself
off at times, often during calls. When the phone is turned on and off
the startup/shut down tones are really annoying, and you cannot remove
them, so everytime you need to turn your phone on/off in public you
need to change your incoming call alert to "off" so that it doesnt make
the stupid sound. When the phone is turned on, after having to wait
for a long time after pressing the on button, I am not able to access
my MessageCentre or phonebook. It just says "Try Later" and I need to
wait a long time after my phone is turned on before I can access these
features. The back cover on the phone is always falling off, and it
gets really annoying. The only ONE good thing about this phone is that
is will not completely break, however this is kind of not a positive
feature on the phone for me, as if it broke it is just an excuse to
buy a new phone, not saying the quality of this phone isn't enough of
a reason. Well I'm thinking about buying a new phone in the next few
weeks. Nokia 6020 perhaps? Well finally, the overall look of the phone
is almost as bad as what's inside it. I don't reccommend this phone...
Very poor. Drabs :)

I have had this phone for almost 1 year. I use it in Hong Kong where
you can see just so many new cell phones each day. [Control] This phone
is extremely slow. Especially when checking messages, it just acts like
freezing - given that if you have a lot of messages in it. [Sound/vibration]
You probably won't recognize its existence if you are using it in a
busy/noisy city like Hong Kong. [Picture] The resolution is high in
its category. However, the quality isn't as impressive as the resolution.
In general, it's only around the same as the Sony Eri T610. (however,
when in dark envir. T610 does better!) [Durability] I had it returned
to Motorola for repair. The speaker was not working. They took 1 month
to repair this for me! And this phone is easily invaded by "dust". I
have used many phones before, this one is one of the most easily polluted
by dust. The overall rating is bad! The worst thing is the speed when
accessing SMS and different functions. The interface is NOT considered
to be good and friendly.

Its only got 1 star because there isn't an option for 0 or minus stars.
I hate every single thing about this phone. It is the biggest waste
of money I've ever spent and the only good thing that came out of it
is that I learnt that "only fools rush in" is true. I have some so close
to smashing it to bits countless times and am only writing this review
now to vent my spleen about it. Everything about it is bad, but lets
start at the top: Looks- Looks like a remote control. Can't easily change
the case and the shutter for the camera is pointless as all it does
is collect dust. Battery life- appalling, makes the iPod look like the
duracell bunny. Needs charging at least once a day. Menu system- Bizzare
to say the least. Like everything else about this phone its stupidly
slow, it feels like someones installed Windows XP on a 486/66. Texting-
This is one of this phones worst features. You have to really bash the
keys, often having to press them 2/3 times, its I N C R E D I B L Y
S L O W. Whilst I had it I barely texted anyone cos it was so much hassle
and took so long. The predective text input system feels like its been
designed by chimps that don't speak English. If you really are going
to buy this, dip your computer keyboard in treacle and try using it
for a week to get an idea of what it will be like. Phone Calls- not
too bad on this front but then it has to get somethign right I guess.
GPRS- rubbish. Works about every 1/5 times, after you've used it you
can't use it for ages for some reason. Gimmicks- No java games. Default
games are unbearably bad. Ringtones are rubbish, pictures, screensavers
are rubbish (unless you're MTV's "Super Fan No.1!!!!!" ). Camera- Is
actually pretty good, good picture and contrast (!). However browsing
through photos is uselessly slow so it looses points still. All in all,
I hate this phone and if it broke tommorow I would feel cheated that
it broke on its own and wasn't by destroyed by me throwing under a bus
or off a bridge.

Although at times it can be very frustrating because it can be quite

date now but still quite compact and ok. It does turn itself off sometimes
and is very slow when writing a txt but i suppose i have just got used

that will be an improvement. From the reviews it looks as though it

After seeing some of the reviews here (DON'T BUY THIS PHONE, IT'S RUBBISH!!!111!!1)
I really feel that i should stick up for the little guy. I had it bought
for me for my 16th birthday by my friends, and it really is one of the
best phone i've had. The picture quality (depsite what SOME people reckon)
is really good, it adjusts quickly to the level of light, and has a
very good night mode function. (you've got to take into account as well
that this is a fairly cheap phone) and also, it has a very smart little
slide to protect the camera lens from getting damaged. Visually, it
looks superb, it's stylish, and also the colous schemes you can choose
from are very nice. It's quite exaggertaed to say that it takes 5 seconds
to take a photo. fair enough, there is a very small delay between when
you actually press the button and the photo being captured, but it really
isn't significant. It also has a few really good ringtones, and they
sound great through the very cool speaker-ish thingy on the back. However
it DOES take a long time to start up, and goes about it very noisily
(which can be a bit embaressing, i don't know if yo ucan switch the
noise off though :s) and navigating ur inbox when you have lots of messages
can be frustrating, as it seems to slow the phone down. The same type
of problem also happens when typing a txt.

This phone is good in the short term (i.e two months) but after that,
the cracks begin to show. Good points - good camera (although without
a zoom, landscape pics turn into a blur of colour), easy navigation
with softkeys, good games (when they dont crash), sturdy case....Bad
points - Ever since I bought it 8 months ago, it's turned itself off
and on, off and on regularly, with no warning (even when I'm mid conversation),
the iTap text entry method takes a bit of getting used to, especially
after having a Nokia, but you get the hang of it in the end (even though
it takes half an hour to write a decent understandable text message).
Don't get this phone if you plan to keep many texts in your inbox -
after about 30, it takes forever to open any messages. My handset started
playing up properly yesterday, not being able to receive calls and when
I make any, the person on the other end can't hear a damn word I'm saying,
along with the fact it is now turning itself off every 3 minutes. Advice
to me from Orange? Get a new phone. Advice to you from me? Don't buy
this one. Cheap, but reflects the price.

My friend recently bought this phone and i'd like to say, despite its
lack of modern functions, the camers is VERY VERY good. It is clear,
and you can create lots of albums, with lots of photos in each. Its
a very reliable phone, so if you dont want a really modern, flash one,
this is for you! One small thing the shape is'n't exactly a 2die4 shape!
However would suit the needs of any one looking for a good reliable
camers phone. Motorola is a very reliable make so i dont think you'll
have many problems!! If you get it ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lovya x

I bought this Motorola E365 yesterday. Mine was $289. I think it is
a great phone so far, although every now and then mine gets a little
bit slow too. The only problem is i was so eager to check it out that
i forgot you had to charge it for like 16 hours or so before u use it!
A few hours later i remembered and put it straight on the charger. It
has been around 24 hours since then and already the battery has only
got 1 bar! I guess this is becos I didn't charge it straight away, but
the lady who sold it to me didn't tell me I had to charge it and i am
angry becos my friend rings me every night and it is goin to keep turning
off on me. There might be a way to fix it, i am not sure yet, but apart
from that it seems to be a good phone. If u are going to buy this phone
make sure u ask about charging the phone before u use it! That's probably
why so many people are having trouble with it.

I've had the phone for about 9 months now, and to be honest i'm really
starting to get sick of it. THe most annoying thing is the iTap messaging.
My sister bought a motorola a few months ago and sold it within a couple
of days it took so long to right messages. The poor messaging isn't
specific to this phone, i find it's the same with all motorola phones.
What is specific to this phone is that it is really really slow. messages
take ages to access when you had lots of them stored, and the software
is really slow, especially the wap software. plus the layout of the
software is a complete pain to use when trying to access some of the
functions. the camera is ok, but the memory isn't great. Overall, i
would not recommend this phone as there are better options out there.
personally i'm going to dump this after christmas

I've had this phone for about a year now. I wanted a cheap phone with
a camera as I didn't have a great deal of money at the time. £90
with sim, I thought was pretty good. I think it's a very good phone.
The only things wrong with it are that it can take a while to write
a message in iTAP mode, and accessing your inbox or outbox when there
are a lot of messages in it can take a while too. Other than that, I've
had no problems with it. The camera has been good and useful, and the
phone hasn't let me down at all yet. It's been dropped, thrown about
and still works. Admittedly, when I dropped it, it turned off, but worked
fine when it was turned on. A very nice little phone. If you want something
more or better, you have to pay for it.

Its quite well equipped and has a lot of features. The games are excellent
but the wap is slow and not worth using. The wap often breaks down and
the camera lens is fiddly to operate and use. Good camera but the screen
is always smudged. Good price but I must admit I was not too impressed
with the ITap text method which is complicated and takes a long time
to use and so does the picture messaging. A bit more time for voice
recording would be good aswell!!! Fantastic graphics but could use a
zoom on the camera for long range pictures.

Ok , neither do i work for Nokia or Samsung or any electronic Company
, i just study.I was on a Nokia 3310 , then Nokia 7250 and then I saw
these nice reviews abt a Motorola Phone in a popup and i dearly wish
i did`nt. The phone was perfect compared to my Nokia , except for the
looks but i was impressed by the software and other customer reviews
i've read. So well , i blew up all my pocket money on this cell . And
purchased it in May 2004 from Kuwait Motorola Room. Now Im in India
and it worked fine for the first 2 months .. then came the problems.
first i had a software problem , something called . try later if i tried
to access my phone book or my messages. then i sent it back to Kuwait
, they said "We cant find wat the problem with your phone is" then they
replaced the software and my cell was all good again.. And after a month
and a half after i get it again , one day it decides just to stop charging.
i take it to the Motorola guys here and they tell me it's a hardware
problem and something cracked because i might have dropped it , inspite
of me insisting i did`nt. So that's it.. they make u accept something
that's not true. Now i'll be sending this gunk to Kuwait again to get
it fixed under warranty as i find it useless to spend money on this.
i just hope it sticks with me for another year and a half so that it
wud depreciate of the money i blew up on it. and after that 1 year when
i work and start making my own cash. I aint going to sell this piece
of junk , i`m just gunno hammer the life out of it and give myself the
immense satisfaction. So to all those who think that this phone is a
budget phone with a pretty good camera , think again . what good can
a phone do if it got an average camera but gives loads of problems!?
And this is the first and the last motorola i will ever buy. And to
all those motorola morons who came out with the quote "intelligence

The sound quality is appalling- you can't hear the person on the other
end of the phone, and it keeps turning itself on and off. The memory
capacity isn't much cop either, and when your message box fills up,
the phone slows down- it takes ages to read and delete your messages.

fed up with it also!! My phone is being put up for repair for the second

started slowing down and u had to end up deleting what you've just written

until you download new *moving* ones you have to be stuck with ones
already preset to the phone. When going through pictures you have to
view them all separatly, there isnt a 'hide softkeys' or there isnt
a quick full screen flick through. I am only 14 years old and i am very
disappointed because i have to wait till my next birthday to get a new

is no moto mixer just a melody maker, with this you CANT change the

is no photo effects or zoom or anything really interesting for young

This was a cheap entry-level camera fone-- which is why I bought it.
But it just *does not* work! Firstly, the software is incredibly slow;
meaning the delay between pressing a function key and getting a repsonse
is unacceptabe. Secondly, the alarm clock is TOTALLY unreliable; I've
overslept on numerous occassion because my E365 (despite being set,
and volume-on) decided *not* to ring. Unlike Nokia, the phonebook cannot
distinguish a number in its international and local-prefix format. The
dilemma occurs when your operator uses international number format for
SMS, but not for voice calls. To identify a contact who both texts AND
calls you, you need to store their number in BOTH formats :-O The signature
on/off tune is terrible; and *so* loud. I cannot hear anyone who calls
me-- even tho the speaker is set high, and I'm *not* deaf! Finally,
the phone's ringer is quite low; and the vibrate-alert (like the alarm)
only works sporadically. Nokia! I'm coming home...

When I first bought this phone I thought it looked pretty good, with
the design, etc. However, ive had it a few months now and ive noticed
quite a few faults with it. Firstly, for some reason it keeps switching
itself off every so often, and when you do switch it on, it makes an
annoying noise (which you can't change!) When you receive picture messages
it takes about 5 mins before you can actually see them, which gets annoying
after a bit. When you come to sending a message, the first few words
are ok, but once you've written about 5 words it starts to slow down
and takes ages to finish you're message and it stores all your messages
which you've sent in the outbox, which you have to delete one by one.
I'd say that taking photos isn't too bad, its a shame that you can't
zoom in or anything and the quality at night is poor, you can store
a few photos but not really that many.It is pretty good that you can
cover up the lense when not using the camera so that it doesn't get
scratched. The sound quality isn't too bad, it has plenty of polyphonic
ringtones on. However, when the phone came out the ringtones sounded
good, but now that better phones have come out they don't really sound
that good anymore, just plain average i suppose. Scrolling through the
menus are pretty easy, and the functions are easy to use. The phone
itself is pretty strong (i've dropped it a few times and theres no major
damage) The screen is easy to scratch however and it does tend to wear
on the corners of the phone. I'd say that overall this phone is average,
its the text/media messaging thats a big let down on this phone and
wouldn't recommend it if you're wanting a pretty decent camera phone.

Well, I bought this phone around 9 months ago, and have been very disappointed

from a phone is a camera, text and games, then this phone is passable.
The battery tends to last a couple of days (not a huge problem). The
most annoing thing is it's volume. When in a conversation, it is difficult
to hear the other person, and I often don't hear it ring (or feel it
vibrate!) I'm so disappointed with this phone, that I have reverted
to my old V50 (which is nearly 3 years old). I bought the E365 to replace
the V50, how ironic! Would not reccomend this phone for any sensible

when typing messages it starts off ok, but after about 50 characters
it becomes quite slow, now every text you send gets saved in the outbox
(which cant be changed). and you cant delete all the messages together,
so you have to delete them individually, and because the phone isnt
powerful enough to run the software it takes about 20 secs per message,
and 100 messages at 20 secs each is a fair amount of time, the crappy
screen is very easily scratched and the reception is poor. the alarm
has no sleep button and the phone is just awful... also it makes an

Ok, lets firstly say that overall this is not a bad phone. Its cheap,
packed with features and small. Secondly lets say that most of the features
it does include are of good quality. Lets start with the main most of
us would buy it for, sadly the camera- not saying the camera is sad.
On the actual phone, the pics look mostly superb. There are 2 camera
options- night mode and normal. Night mode alows you take take pictures
indoor and in darker places but it drasticaly reduces the sharpness
and quality of the images when viewed on a computer screen- if you only
inted to view them on the phone no prob with the quality. The normal
mode is faster and sharper, any outdoor shots will be awesome, in darker
situations you will have a problem, the pictures become grainy and blue
lines appear across the screen, if its only semi dark its worth keeping
this option as opposed to night just for the quality. Finally the thing
that make this camera stand out is the ability to take 640x someth ing
pictures (means proper size), most phones don't support this size. Major
downside is that it doesnt have a zoom. Actual voice calling, surprisingly
is poor, the volume, at max is still hard to hear even on a quiet train-
if your main purpose is to make voice calls as opposed to sms etc this
phone isnt good. Itll do though. Ringtones sound good, very good. Screen
is excellent, 64000 colours, so is backlight. Battery life is ok, some
people complain, i dont think its a problem. 3 days of intense use and
itll need a charge, minimal use, say, 4 1/2 days. Java- in the optus
ads it said that this phone has java, it doesnt. Games- boring, no cant
download more. Sms/ input excellent, good entry system kind of a cross
between nokia and sony phones. easy to use. Overall- pretty good, but
not that great compare to whats available now. Camera is its best feature,
if only motorolla had included a zoom...

Well, after a dodgy Nokia 3510 & then a 7650 I thought I would get a
phone from a company with a good reputation, What a mistake to buy a
Motorola. The E365 is very basic & the camera is poor, the picture is
grainy & the phone software is so slow to respond too user inputs. You
cant have the phone on silent while it is charging, The clock can be
set as either 12 or 24 hour format but the E365 will only display the
24hour format no matter what you do with the settings, also the microphone
quality is poor & people struggle to hear you when using the phone.
Now here comes the worst bit, Motorola's customer service, They are
useless. After around 3 months I had a problem with a dodgy 9 button
on the keypad, I rang the warranty number & they took the details &
sent out a prepaid special delivery envelope to post them back the phone
the next day. I got the phone back a week later, Upgraded software &
an unfixed 9 button, another call & another return envelope. Another
week passed & the phone was returned again fixed correctly this time.
All was fine for 3 months again & then the E365 software started to
crash, switch itself on & off & fail to charge. Another call & anther
envelope, Over 2 weeks have passed & not a word from Motorola. They
say you phone WILL be returned within 7 working days, What a load of
rubbish that promise is! First they said they didn't even have my phone,
I checked Royal mail track & trace, Motorola had it all right, Then
they came out with " We dont know whats happening with your phone? "
Everytime they promise to call you back they dont, Every person you
speak to tells you a completely different story & try to get you off
the phone as quickly as possible & they wont even let you speak to a
supervisor! The customer service back up is a total let down, This was
the first & will be the LAST Motorola product I have. I though Nokia
customer service was useless, but Motorola have them beaten easily on
that front! I was told a Motorola supervisor will ring me tomorrow between
9am & 5pm, I wont hold my breath!

The Motorola e365 is the worst piece of hardware to come out of the

is rubbish. I have known the Motorola reliability since the Vietnam
war Walkie Talkies and they used to be very good UNTIL NOW. Users, for
your own benefit, please put electrical tape on the bottom of the phone
where the openings are, as they absorb moisture like crazy and will
let condensation (even from your mouth) seep in and DESTROY the very
fragile PCB components of your phone. First to go is the keypad component
board, numbers 7,8, and 9 will start to fail, then 4, 5, and 6 will
follow. Charge your batteries remotely and seal those openings!!!!

I bought this phone as a spare while my other mobile was being repaired
and what a waste of money it was! For a start it has a horrible menu
interface which is very awkward to navigate. The 'iTap' predictive text
function is even worse that Nokia's predictive text, and is completely
useless as it is near impossible to create a readable text message with
it enabled. The battery life is pitiful and falls about 102 hours short
of the specified 150 hours standby time. The big display screen might
look appealing to some, but if it gets scratched or marked you cannot
change the phone cover. The user keys feel cheap and nasty, and you
need to have your ear pressed right up against the tiny speaker to hear
your phone call. The display also freezes from time to time. I have
only had the phone for five months and already I have had to send it
away for repair because both the cheap internal speaker and mic have
stopped working which made the phone even more useless than it already
is. I know that this may well be a one off fault with my particular
handset, but considering it is only five months old and is in perfect
condition (no drops, bangs etc..), I would be very dubious of the quality
of this handset, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone, not when there
are plenty of other phones in the same price bracket that are of a much
better quality. My advice: don't waste your money on this phone.

Had this phone since Jan this year. Intitially loved it....But crashes
and is like an overworked computer- so slow and useless. On the plus
side, camera is good and it has a large screen. However this just fill
up with dust. The silver coating on the keys has rubbed off and the
back cover is falling apart. Don't buy this phone.

Well featured colour screen mobile phone with many customisable features
enabling user to personalise many features to individual preferences.
Messaging:'i-tap'predictive text messaging system is the very best I
have ever used and so easy to master. Camera: Excellent camera with
sliding mirror (for self portraits)cover to protect lens and settings
menu for lighting conditions,high/medium/low resolution and shutter
sound. Other features: Navi-key menu system to access messages,games-6
embedded,,alarm clock, chat,shortcut menus,profile settings, tools-
datebook/organiser, calculator/currency converter,wap, fixed dialing.Multimedia
messaging, message templates,call records,message records,37 embedded
polyphonic ringtones,melody/ringtone composer,downloadable ringtones,gprs,caller
group menus and many more features. Overall:You either like this phone
or you don't.Some menus are not as intuitive as they should be and the
first time you pick up this phone you may feel the menus are like a
Rubic's cube to find exactly what you want. The BIG downside to this
model is the short battery life - mine is on charge every 36 hours-
and there may be an option to purchase an extended battery, I don't
know, but my advice is to visit an outlet and ask for a demonstration
before you make a decision.

The motorola E365 is a good phone, it has great camera quality and easy
texting once you get the hang of it. But like alot of phones, I have
never experienced this as bad as with this phone, is the fact that when
you have alot of messages, the phone will take about 30 seconds to turn
on, and to look at you messages, and it sometimes freezes. I wouldnt
advise this phone if you want it to store alot of things, but for the
money its not bad.
