[edit] Expandability via TransFlash / microSD memory cards (up to 1 GB in capacity)

Has this been verified? I have copied 1GB of MP3s to 1GB Kingston microSD (several folders), but e816 (Verizon) doesn't see those folders, and of course files in those. I have tried to move all those files to the root folder, but got only 90 files transferred (plus one more folder in the root), and after that I am getting a bogus error (src/dst names are the same, but there is no such file in the root/dst). I am using AVB USB 2.0 card reader, so maybe transferring to root is limited by the reader, or microFlash?

[edit] I don't know how to indent

It is limited to a certain number of files per directory. A typical album in its own folder should be fine. It is also limited to somewhere around 55 characters for the full path of a filename and the directory it is in. When storing photos on the transflash, try to make folders and move them in when you get a chance to avoid the first problem, and also to keep things organized. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.131.126.10 (talk) 20:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reliability and quality problems

I have had 2 E815's fail catastrophically, for no reason, in the last 6 months. After getting a v710 that also died, Verizon is switching me to a Razr. The tech who helped me indicated that the E815 is known for these types of early failures. Has anybody seen a reference for this? Oanjao 23:04, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Mine has been solid for about a year and a half now Bushido Brown 23:51, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

The E815 is almost universally considered to be Verizon's most reliable phone of the past 2-3 years. So I'd say that you hit 2 unfortunate lemons and it's not worth mentioning 2 failures amidst hundreds of thousands of working phones. Jlbrightbill 02:47, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Sometimes there is a failure of the flex cable that connects the screen in the upper half, to the main board in the lower half. You can order a replacement cable on Ebay, though installation is a little tricky. Also sometimes the chargeing port fails, but the phone will work if you put in a charged battery. I came here to question whether this article should exist. If it does, I think it should mention when the phone was released, and also maybe have something about the flex cable issue. --Howdybob 13:09, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Using Mp3's Via Expandable Memory

On the E815 you have to Format the Memory Card using the phone first before you should use it. Then (I don't Remember) you either just transfer it to the memory card or put it in the "My Music" folder. Psxmoe (talk) 02:16, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
