I was using the 338 for aprox 1 year and it never let me down ok the memory is rather poor but it's only a fone not a computer. The battery life was not 2 good but i have recently started using it again as i had a nokia 6280 and it was rubbish so the nec is a good fone if all u want 2 do is txt call and take the odd picture i would recommend it for the money.

I bought this phone on Saturday after havin an E616v for 2 years and I'm very happy to see the battery lasts ages. Its got no bluetooth but who cares cos i dont use it anyway and I dont use the MP3 player on it as I got one. I havent got the data cable yet so if i want pics on the phone I just email them to it from my PC. it looks nicer than the e616v and is smaller. I got the all black one which i really like and I'm glad 3 have finally taken away that stupid 30 day expiry things how gay was that. They r a normal, network at last and lets hope they keep improving. I'd recommend anyone to go and get this phone.

Considering the amount of times i have dropped this bloody thing, it is still in perfect nick unfortunately, so top marks for durability. However, terrible to use, too many niggles - slow text (easy to be faster than the screen and it doesn't catch up well), adds words in for you you don't want, especially if you hold down a key to get a number. Camera isn't too good (nice idea to have it on a spin-wheel though), download ringtunes are quite frankly embarrassing and expensive, and the ones provided make you want to just keep it on vibrate, which isn't powerful enough when in a pocket. I can't wait for my contract to end coz on 3 network - and what a mistake that was too! Stay away from both i say! They will drive you to distraction!

One or two niggling little glitches, like now and again when i flip open the password screen is visiblesaying i have one morre attempt at the correct password!The phone itself is fine if somewhat basic, the only major gripe i have is with 3 pay and its 30 day validity period, my outlook is "I pay , and should be able to use as i want" hence the unlock and switch to Voda

I have this fone on the 3 network. it is okay but it lacks a few qualities of a top class mobile fone e.g. bluetooth etc... it is quite basic a it is not loaded with any games, ringtones, or pics. the highlight is the fantastic storage, however without bluetooth isnt this pointless? an okay fone but dont be deceived by the pricing.

Had my phone for 5 months now and no serious problems with it, except sometimes it cuts you off when in the middle of a call. apart from that good camera and storage although video clips are short at 11 seconds a clip.

Ive had my NEC 338 for arround 3 months on 3pay. A simple to use and somewhat "basic" 3G phone. To me the whole idea of a 3G is the downloadable services, but with a maximum of 16mb memory and no option for additional memory I found its potential limited. In the last 3 weeks I have had lots of issues (both problems with the handset and network provider). Now my handset has developed a serious fault, during voice calls the other person cant hear me, as if the phones microphone was on mute (which it is not). In sumary I found the 338 an easy to use no frills handset, let down by mysterious flaws and an unreliable network provider.
