Looks good
Music player is good
Battery life is bad
Touch-sensitive keys can be a problem

Camera/Media
The E840 features a 2MP camera, and in my opinion is a decent one. It’s a simple camera but has a lot of modes. The colors aren’t very vibrant, and the detailing level is quite bad too. You can select from different color balance options and control the white balance. And there is clipart you can play with.


This phone does live up to our expectations (to an extent) with regards to the music player. Before I start, I will say this once again that phone companies should stop building up cash reserves on proprietary designs. The earphone shares the same slot with the charger, so if you want to listen to music at home while charging, just forget it!! Your only way out is to relay the music to a pair of Bluetooth headphones. Yes, the phone supports A2DP profile, thank God!!


This is a perfect example of how companies manage to make their products down-perform by packing a perfectly useless pair of earphones. And since you can only use the proprietary earphones, I suggest you buy a Bluetooth Headset. The iTech BluePRO headset changes your music listening experience.

The music player is good in any case. The volume isn’t that loud, but the output is clean and clear. There are no manual EQ settings, just the regular presets.

I am using this phone. The open sound is toooo low; but when you connect the head set then the 3D effect of sound is really unbelievable. The software is not up to the mark. I you want to access the phone memory, then go to PC studio and if want to access the Memory card then you want to reconnect the phone as a mass storage (i.e. like in Pen Drive). FM radio is good, but you can't save the name of radio stations only frequencies can be saved. Camera is good. E-mail account can be configured as like otlook express! But it you clicks any photo, then the photo saves larger area than it is showing while clicking. Look is nice. Music equiliser to be increased and should be manual one. No screen saver. No theme !

yashwant @ May 04, 2008
i have been using the phone from past 8 months and i feel its really nice. i agree that the touch keys are a little difficult to handle but thats only for a couple of days, once u get used to it, its really great. the camera clarity is awesome. i recommend it to everyone.
pallavi @ Apr 10, 2008
The camera does not possess the auto focuss technology as a result of which most often the pictures are blurred. So again ....deceptive looks. The phone looks good and smart but not worth it.

Does anyone else has problems with outgoing calls? I can receive incoming phonecalls just fine, but when i call any number i get 'service unavailable'. This is with the SIMYO network (Belgium), if i use another simcard from another network (PROXIMUS) this works fine. The phone is not simlocked.

I own this phone and I must say, it is a nice phone. However, I was fooled by the spects about the battery life. It doesn't last even 5 hrs on stand by. I don't talk as much and still have to charge it twice during the day and leave it charging at night. What a disappointment...
Alberto @ Nov 28, 2007
" and make me available the compatiable software with this phones like the antivirus and some other player systems like real playeretc. like in nokia."
