NEC e949/L1 - User Reviews

  • Hello, I am looking for Battery for NEC e949/L1, Please help us to advise where can supply it. Thanks too much.

  • Does anyone know if this supports MAP with Bluetooth. Thanks!

  • I've been looking for one for ages. The closest I got was the same model in blue color and the Peugeot logo on eBay.

  • Do you know where can I buy NEC e949/L1?

  • I'm thinking to buy NEC e949/L1 for my birthday and I'm not 100% sure if I really want it.I want to write me your opinions about the phone.

  • Hello everyone, if you have your nec 949 freezed than try to do next action, open sim card apartment and using a piece of wire or scrap and connect two contact points (you'll see them under sim lid-two round contacts close to eachother)it helps me, good luck with that!

  • hi, here is a site in england wich sell nec charger and another. www.m-99.co.uk

  • Markus - Can you tell me if there is a place that still carries these? Thank you Dee

  • NEC e949 is my favorite mobile. but the charger has broken. and now i cant use my phone. i want to buy the charger but its unavailable in Bangladesh market. please help me.

  • the phone is asking for a PUK Code, which i dont know, and then offers me the opportunity to change the pin. This is what happened, i forgot the pin, and now it wants an unblocking PUK code. I bought this phone over ebay, so would my provider be able to send or have a PUK code that they didnt code into the phone ? How does a provider know about a phone they didnt sell ?

  • great phone, though i managed to brick it by setting a password and now I can not remember what it was. Anyone know how to resolve numerous attempts to guess the password which freezes the phone ?

  • I have this phone back in 2006. and I still try to find him on ebay.

  • The phone is a very admirable one for every one to desire to hold but i only saw it ones and that was the one i bought and since the it has feasle out from circulation. Please, improve on it and send for us to buy.

  • Is NEC still making phones? I miss my old L1...I would buy one if they updated the feature set.

  • Where d i get the softwares for my cell ??

  • Hello!! I'm now on my third one of these phones. /all have been purchased 2nd hand. The phone design is aging by the stds that you can purchase now but the NEC design is just simply great! It's a well posey little number that everyone who sees it in my hand comments on... The only negative from me is the battery life but i guess it would be less asit's so slim. If you want a 'no-gimmic' phone that looks smart, this is the one. You can also buy them at a good price these days.. Cheers!!

  • How much well this phone holds a network? How well it transfers speech?

  • One of the best thing about this phone is its shape and camera.Love to take pics on that.Only problem no card slot.

  • well a phone just like human brain if you dropped it hard enough it will get damage inside just like human when you hit your head too hard you will be cucu i suggest you take it to the phone store have it check up and fix just like human need to go to the doctor for an Xray.

  • Ive had the phone for over a year now and I think I can give a fair review. The feature set is very nice for a phone of this size and the construction (made in Japan) is high quality materials. Due to the small battery capcity you will likely need to charge the battery every night, which is the worst thing about this phone. The bluetooth performance is also somewhat slow compared to my girlfriends N73. Also, while the camera resolution is much higher than the V3 the lens quality is only so-so, so optimal images require perfect conditions. The phone is pretty customizable and personally I find the interface to be very intuitive and easy to use. As a basic phone this one is tough to beat in the slim flip category. Its aged a bit though, but this market seems to have been abandoned so at current street prices it is still worthy of consideration.

  • Batteries can only be replaced at an Nec service center as their built in. might i suggest getting a new handset their available online now for only $50.

  • I have on e949 almost more than a year. It seems to me my battery getting weak. Do you how I can get my battery replaced? It is it built in or replaceable?

  • Hello,! I am in Viet Nam, I love my cell phone NEC e949, but it was dropped. Now he is not work! When I power on, its warning (Power off insert SIM and turn on). but SIM is has no problem and connected already!(I have checked my VN PHONE SIM card with others Cell Phone, It's working) Pls give me a peices of advice with many thanks. And please show me what parts's wrong in it if you can help! Thank you!

  • the thing about no one can hear you is that the spot where u plug in the charger brokes easily.i solved my problem by sticking a litle pin forcing the input to go lower.

  • veeeeeery beautiful and better than an v3 ��

  • hi i'vr had the ph for over 6 months now & i really like it but the thing is tht i cant no1 can hear me out of it but with the head ph thy cany hear me so my headphone screwed up & i now i need a new 1? any1 know her ei can get it from im in calgary, canada

  • using for almost one year.its a damn sleek.no faults.speaker quality crystal clear.guys go for it.

  • I bought this L1 a while ago loved how thin it was, sound is great, started hating it when texting, plus menu was unfriendly...

  • i use this mobile i realy enjoy it. it is just like computer but if u use for fun then it is opposit.

  • The adapter for my NEC L1 recently broke and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could pick up a new one. I cant find one locally and no one seems to sell it online. Thanks

  • To all US Cingular users, here is the info you need for MMS and Email: MMS: MMS Settings Connection profile: wap.cingular MMS Center: Proxy Server: 066.209.011.032 HTTP Port: 8080 APN: wap.cingular User Name: [email protected] Password: CINGULAR1 EMAIL: APN: wap.cingular Proxy Server: 066.209.011.032 Portal URL: User Name: [email protected] (all caps) Password: CINGULAR1 (all caps) HTTP Port: 8080 HTTPS Port: 80 DNS: 066.209.010.201 Hope that helps. It worked for me.

  • I have NECe949 Ultra Thin Mobile(silver) for almost eight months now (october 2006) but till date I cannot make use of the bluetooth and the WAP because no body can configure it (NEC e949) and indeed all NEC phones here in Nigeria. Is NEC phones built for European countries alone? Where can I configure my nec phone in Nigeria? I LOVE my NEC e949 phone and people infact envy me for that. Also make this phone (NEC e949) available in Nigeria because many of those who have seen the phone want to have theirs also. Your reply is highly expected.

  • I need help with an Li to work with my T-mobile network. It is always saying searching for network. What do I need to do since might have been designed for the Asian market. Thanks anyone for your help.

  • i had the cellphone for nearly 8 months now. It was working very well until last weekend, the screen became white all of a sudden and it powered itself down. i waited till the battery drained then i plugged it in to recharge. The screen is still white. NEC USA can do NOTHING about it since they don't have it. Anybody faced this problem could help me plz?

  • i just bought nec e949 horizon am sending it to ghana so i can used it u think its popular for foriegner to used back home to all my ghanian friends,feed back pls i like the phone anyways it has good features and it is an european phone anyways. feed back

  • I am not able to use any of the features other than of a standard mobile on my handset. I assume that there is no support for nec 949 in India. When the co. will provide the support ?

  • is the reception good in toronto/canada anybody own this phone in canada let me know please

  • Hey all, this phone is very good, the surface of the phone is nearly unscratchable, you can convert mp3 ringontes using the comp to play them on the phone, battery life is fairly good unless you use the video too much. Im appy to have this phone.

  • i thinking of getting this phone. anyone knows how is the reception in Canada??with Rogers network thanks what do you suggest i care about reception and how small is the phone. Don't need the MP3 for other features.

  • Where are they selling the premium pack for $130? I just bought mine for $140, which was by far the best price I could find from a reputable place and not to mention is was not the premium pack with the USB/BT adapter.

  • These phones are selling for around $130 now for the complete kit with BT USB PC adapter and BT stereo handsfree headset. I will probably get one to add to my collection just because it's so fashionable as well as functional.

  • i have cigular. it wont let me open pic messages that people send me. does anyone know how to fix this. thanks

  • You can use mp3 as your ringtone. Just go to my data, mp3, download, you will then see your mp3 files, press menu and use item, set as ringtone. Using the same method, you can send the file via bluetooth.

  • I have really enjoyed this phone. The mp3 player does work and the sound is really loud for such a slim phone.

  • rubbish mobile. not worthy. mp3 player does not work, camera is more of a vga than 1.3mp and the buttons are very small. nec don't even offer much support

  • Can you block someone's cell phone number with the NEC 949 so that they cannot call you anymore? Please let me know. Thanks!

  • This phone is great, it has a HEAP of features and is really easy to use, the only downside is not being able to have MP3's as a ring tone. Still u can record songs and then put it as a ring tone... It has a really good camera and the best sound i have ever seen on a phone.

  • Could anyone tell me how i can make my phone ring for aleast aminute and ahalf when recieving calls .Mine only rings for twenty seconds-Thanks.

  • Just got my NEC e949 horizon, I'm not so happy with it, the phone signals keeps going high & low, I keep getting disconnected, battery dies out fast. Anyone can tell me where to get a car charger for this phone?

  • i havet hat nec E949 cell-phone, I both a usb-bluetooth device for it to ad MP# to my phoneand it works, but i want to sent some picture to my computer using my blue tooth,and it won't let me. does anyone know how to use it or can give me some help..... thank you

  • Got a feature inquiry, one that does not seem to be documented in the manual, and it is this: With the included headset plugged in, and being on a call, the microphone button switches the call from 'active' to 'on hold'. Interestingly enough, I tried the button when not in call mode, and found out that the phone enters a 'trained' mode, looking for certain events. Does anyone know what this is all about ? I appears one could program something - like a call list - maybe a voice prompt - to initiate calls when the headset is plugged in. Thanks for your responses. Love the phone !!!

  • I bought me e949 and I used it for only 3 months. It developed statics when talking and no one can hear me when it talk. The static is too loud and I don't know what to do.

  • I am very happy with my nec e949, but i have only one promblem all the instuctions are in Italian i know how to use it, but i need to know much more.

  • I am using Nec e949/L1, the phone is a perfect product from a great corporation as Nec, I am glad and proud to use it in Vietnam, where Nec is "a stranger". Now I am having problems with it. I can't transfer datas and images from it to a Nokia via Bluetooth. I don't know how ?

  • Need pc suite for NEC 949/412i/L1, pls help

  • Also, you can setup the MMS and SMS to work perfectly on US Tmobile, but since my phone seems to have died, I won't be able to provide you with my settings. Hopefully I can this fixed through NEC and then post the info.

  • Switch the band you are searching for. It is probably set for the UK. It should be an easy fix.

  • My phone quit working after two weeks. The phone was great, but appears to be a problem with the battery. Too bad I can't remove it.

  • need help, bought the phone off tigerdirect.com, when I put my sim card in, it says searching, it picks up all my phone numbers that were saved on my sim card but doesn't do anything else. I am w/ t-mobile and live in Texas, any advice would be nice... thanks...

  • I use one but its called N412i. The phone is very well made but its hard to use it because the buttons are too small nd flat. camera is not great and neither is the sound...

  • My God, I thought It was nice when I see it, but It's very hard to manipulate!!!! the most I hate of this phone is the camera, It doesn't work properly when night. it doesn't have a memory card also with a 28mb capacity space............ but the design is nice!! It fits my personality!!

  • NEC 949 cell phone with T-Mobile US anyone? I can use SMS but cannot visualize MMS and email but I should be able to. The phone is unlocked and should work anywhere in the world I am with a different SIM card. T-Mobile US does not seem to be able to help as the NEC e949 is not on the market in the US yet. Someone has the same? Can anyone help configure MMS and Email Services? Thank you!

  • does anyone know what format of pics i can bluetooth up to my phone? I tried to tranfer .jpg pics with no luck...any thoughts would appreciated.

  • In S'pore this phone is known as Model N412i battery life last 2 and the half days its lack of memory card slot phone is slim and nice look keys pad not too good starhub is giving free with promotion........

  • I have a Nec e949 here, Vietnam. The battery doesn't last for a long time. It makes me angry if I have some important calls to work ! Furthermore, It doesn't have a card slot, and the memory inside is too small for me to store whatever I want. However, the only thing I like is that It's a super-slim mobile, even slimmer than Motorola V3.

  • this phone sucks! I've had one for a few months now and i'm really not happy... that battery is total crap... i'll be lucky if it lasts a day, and i really dont use it non stop... the phones also got A LOT of glitches and errors, for example, sometimes the phone refuses to acknowledge that i have received a txt... the browser also sucks... all websites are blocked and i can find a way to unblock them (little help?)... the only pro amongst a sea of cons is the fone is really really nice to look at, its incredibly slim and well designed... i wouldn't recommend buying this phone... its crap, crap crap crap...

  • I am at Pune, India and 'am using a BSNL postpaid connection. I bought the handset 10 days back. I am not able to download ringtones / MP3. Can anybody advice me what additional gadgets are required and how do I go about ?

  • um, i have this phone too,um i think ah this phone shld have allow card 2 be store inside le.............

  • Just got my e949 and found out that it won't work with my tomtom 700 gps , even though they both bluetooth enabled. any ideas how to make them work together?

  • btw is there any issue about the extremely short battery life?

  • Dear poster, I have e949/L1 and have Cingular service. Cingular Network uses 1900/850. This phone will pick up 1900 not 850 . My area we only use 1900. If your coverage area covered both, the phone would work but limited when traveling into 850 area. look at this map to see what you have. Go down page to Cingular Wireless look at (zoom in on your area on Coverage Map both) P.S When I got my service the sales people at the store did know !!! So I showed them this site.

  • Wow, I have Cingular/1900-this phone has the BEST! - clearest calling, better that any of my friends phones! Need to get Tx(SMS) working any HELP? Can receive but not send.

  • To get the phone work with cingular all you need is go to network and select the band to 900hzm im not sure which band but it should work.

  • I purchased a NEC E949 on ebay as a Christmas gift. Seller stated that it would work with Cingular Wireless. It does not. Cingular is 850 MHZ. Any suggestions/recommendations to make phone work with Cingular. Seller will not exchange the phone. Thanks!

  • I like the phone a lot - best phone I've bought (out of six). To the person below. Use bluetooth or a data cable. Only two options unless you have internet capabilities.

  • Upload your own MP3 to your phone via bluetooth. Send/Push the mp3 from the computer. On the NEC phone, goto "accessory" menu, then "bluetooth" menu, then "voice/modem" menu, then "pair new device" menu, then Select "wait for connect". Now send mp3 from a bluetooth enabled pc. Note: Ensure at Bluetooth is ON under the voice/modem menu. I think it is set to OFF by default.

  • Well overall if u like ur phone stylish and mature then this phones for u. I broke my charger. Any one know any good sites were i can purchase one?

  • Hi, I Just purchased the phone from ebay 1 month ago, when I try to charge it displays "battery over temperature please remove the charger" I remove the charger and turn on my cell and it displays "low battery, turning off" I can't turn on my cell phone anymore, any idea what's going on? Thanks

  • This is my second month with this phone. The design of the phone is awesome, but the rest of it: - Battery lasts nothing, one day and a half maximum. - Keyboard is very uncomfortable. - Voice quality is horrible. I hear OK, but guys on the other side never understand me. They say they hear my voice "far away" and with background noise. - The cover of the SIM card has already broken. So, my advice is not to buy it, unless you are a fashion victim, like me.

  • Any have or know where to get templetes to (Create your own ICONS for the main menu)- NEC, HK site has, but I can get. thanks in advance

  • thanks "thekeg" bout bluetooth option

  • This phone is awesome (so far) Has a sturdy metallic frame but that is not an excuse to drop it LOL!

  • Don't bother looking for the USB cable. Just get a USB bluetooth adapter on Ebay for 10 bucks. You can xfer all your pics/vids/mp3s from the phone to the pc via the bluetooth. Cheap and easy. USB cable was going for $30-40

  • Hey, I just got this phone on eBay about 2 weeks ago. After I put my phone on the 1900 bandwidth it was fine for a while, but then recently it starts to periodically lose service. Now I have to search for the network everytime it loses service. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

  • Help ! Got phone today works great, really NEED the *USB data cable !! Have search the net but can find one. Where to buy ? thanks D

  • Can anyone explain what is the different between L1 and e949

  • Most USB ports hook up to the phone where you plug in your charger and to send and receive pictures you have to have multimedia messaging set up with your service provider for a monthly fee.

  • i have had my nec for about 2 months now but all of a sudden its crashed the screen has gone off but outer display is showing the last number i recieved, can't turn it off and can't take the battery out for obvoius reasons can anyon e tell me how to reset the phone....please help

  • Hi, I Just purchased the phone from ebay, when I try to charge it displays "battery over temperature please remove the charger", any idea what's going on? Thanks

  • I just got the N412i and i downloaded the software unto my pc but when i connect my fone to my pc using the usb i'm being asked for Username and password. can someone please help me. its an i-mode fone

  • Just a few comments: The L1 does have a backlighted keypad, I also like the fact that you can place icons on the main screen like voicemail or favorite numbers or favorite tunes (MP3). If you read the manual, you will find it is a lot more intuitive than most phones!

  • I just got the N412i quite recently, because of the look, some features and the price (I got it at $0 with a 2-yr plan from Starhub, Singapore). However, I'm experiencing some problems. Initially when I plugged in the phone with the data cable, and put in the PC tools CD, it said that the software "is not windows logo approved", and told me to either go ahead with the download or stop downloading. I initially chose stop downloading. Now the computer doesn't even sense the phone when I plug it in. I've tried manually installing the CD into the computer, but they give me the same "not windows logo approved" warning. And even when I chose to continue with the download, it cannot progress, because the same notice will keep popping up. As a result of this, I cannot put in mp3s from my computer into the phone. It's as if the computer blocked my phone? What can I do? I'm thinking of calling my local NEC Care Centre. Also, I would like to know if it is possible to transfer photos from the phone into the computer.

  • This is the only phone Ive had to date that I get perfect Cingular reception indoors and out. Easy to use inteface. Free mp3/vid/pic xfer software via NEC's website. Stereo handsfree w/2 earbuds and stereo mini jack to plug any headset in. All the std features w/ some new cool ones. You can record your call live and save 1 min clips! Great design too. Thinner than the Razr w/ 1.3 mp cam. On ebay for around $120 shipped

  • Hi All, Ive designed a new menu (icons and background) for the NEC L1/E949 It can be seen/downloaded from here :- Hope youi like them :)

  • I like the design of this phone, but this is not a friendly user phone. The camera sucks!!

  • I already answered that stupid question about Picture Messages and MMS, you need to make sure its set on your phone, and then ring your service provider, who will set up the rest!

  • Can I add more memory?

  • hi i just bought this nec 949 and it wont let me send or receive pictures if any one knows how please email me at [email protected]

  • hi i just bought the nec e949 and i live in california, and cannot send pictures or receive them, does any one know how to do this please email me if you no how im desperate thank you,,

  • i cant get online on my phone, i cant sent picture messages. i cant do a lot of things. how do i fix this??

  • um, it does have a backlight on the keypad.... maybe you should check your settings, or visit a repair shop lol.

  • Well, this phone does not have a backlight on the keypad. That makes it very hard to dial in somewhat dark places (inside car at night). The battery does not last very long. Those are my two major complaints, everything else is great.

  • if the phone is I-Mode locked, i dont think its worth it, well, it just depends what you want the phone for, but there are alot of restrictions with I-Mode, otherwise the phone is great.

  • Please help asap, I am considering buying this phone, can some one please get back to me with the psitives and negatives. Thanks

  • So u can use the software cd to convert the mp3's to what exactly so u can have your own ringtones?

  • u cannot use mp3's as ringtones, but you can convert mp3's to amr ringtones (which will be able to be used as ringtones) with a free program called Mobile AMR Convertor by Miksoft. google it.

  • Any ideas on how to use mp3s as ringtones? or a program that can convert mp3s into a format that can be used. Your help would be much appreciated, thankyou

  • Just got this phone. Cool phone except for one thing........ HOW. CAN. I. SET. MP3S. FOR. IT. AS. MY. RINGTONE?! I read it had to be an imode mp3 or something.

  • Katie, I purchased it from Exotic cellular (best price on the web). When you get it, you must reset it to English (it comes in Chinese). A sexy phone which draw lots of complements. Only -ve is battery life is short...or annorexic (it is thin, like a supermodel!).. Battery cannot be removed.

  • did any of you who have purchased this phone what would suggest i do as i am interested in buying this phone off ebay but it does not come with a warranty. have any of you faced any problems down the track with this phone? do u think i need one? thanks!

  • Yes, it will work with T-mobile sim as long as your NEC is unlocked. I did the same.

  • The manual for NEC n412i is here : cheers !

  • Loooove the phone! Where can I buy the original earphone (in the US) that comes with it? I lost mine....it has the best stereo sound.

  • i just bought N412i from ebay,, when i put in my T-mobile sim card, its saying "searching" and i wont get any signal. but it seems to be reading my sim card fine.. all my phone#s are showing.. please help im from New York, USA if thats any help P.S. very sexy phone (jizzzz)

  • This is the thinest phone i have ever owened!

  • Great Phone! Very high quality! Battery is good,lasts for 2-3 day with normal use.Menu is OK, Better than any Nokia!Phone is thin and light!

  • how do i set it so that the clock on the external display doesnt go away? It only stays for like 10seconds...

  • i guess the imode version of the phone can set mp3 as ringtones as long as the mp3s are downloaded from the imode site. But my question now is whether we can upload our desired mp3 to the imode site n download it into the phone

  • True the menu is a little strange but still better than any menu Nokia ever had!Phone is exceptional!

  • is the i-mode locked on telstra? my vodafone sim doesnt seem to work in this phone, says its got call barring or something.

  • hey does anyone know how to put games on this phone? there arent many sites around with info on customising this phone :(

  • My phone stuck on the I-mode logo screen when it shuts down. It is empty now. But it stuck on that screen for about 20 hours. What can I do to reset it or something. PLEASE HELP ME.

  • this has to be the coolest of all flip phones!

  • I have the iMode version (ie. 412i). Has anyone experienced the following: when phone becomes fully charged it turns itself off and resets the time and the date, when I turned it back on, it said it was midnight instead of 7am.

  • I have Personally just got this phone... My Only Grim is that the menu's are a little out dated... other wise SO F*ing happy with it!!! All i can say is SEX SEX SEX APPEAL!

  • I just received my L1 and am having a hard time getting started with it. I can't get anything to download from my laptop to the phone, I can't figure out how to respond to my text messages because it won't change from numberic to alpha. It's really complicated. Is there anywhere I can go to get help. The manual doesn't help much.

  • i have owned 16 cell phones.The L1 is the best.Great quality and a RAZR Killer!

  • I am about to change my mobile over and I have a choice between the Samsung Z510 and the NEC e949. I prefer the NEC because as a brandname I think it has a higher status and reputation for quality and cutting-edge technology. However, the Samsung is seemingly very accomplished, and there are no reviews on the NEC. I am asking if anyone has bought the NEC e949 yet, and if so, what are its pros and cons (so that I can weigh them up against the Z510)? For example, is the fact that it is not a 3G network phone hinder its capabilites (seeing as 3G is not yet - and won't be for some time - up and running)? Is the very small memory capacity a nuisance? Thank you if you take the time replying, I appreciate it.

  • wow considering buying this phone? how much would i have to pay for N412i i-mode version?

  • state of the art! great picture,great sound,i took a picture of my car and it looks best, never seen a phone with such amazing camera compare to 7610nokia. If anyone looking for a sexy,slim,options,stylest, get this phone!!!

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 PHONE IS A 10+Cell Chatter

  • i myself did not purchase this phone but my friend did and OMG, this is a masterpiece of slim sexy.

  • The Razr killer!what a great phone and smaller than a V3.

  • If it's the e949 then it's not the Imode version of the phone. The Imode version is the 412i !

  • It is an i-mode phone, the question is, from which country. Each country has different settings. U need to ask O2 for settings on their N411i model and store them into the phone.

  • my new e949 has just arrived from eBay. But...does it actually have i-mode? Coz it doesn't seem to work with i-mode. I have o2 sim (uk)...what's wrong then? Does it support i-mode at all? Please help me...

  • this phone has full BT capability. just read the manual. If you have n412i version then no MP3 ringtone. as per all i-mode phones. need the e949 version for mp3 ringtone

  • I had bought this phone but I discovered that one do not work with Bluetooth. May you help me ?

  • can anyone help me how to set sms ringtone with mp3 ? or what is smsringtone format and where to get them coz the original sounds are all sucky ......

  • tks amelia.video recording-shop says it cant be blur;asked me to bring it to NEC service centre.sigh...

  • Geo, for configuring the picture quality, you have to set the image quality to the highest. For this particular phone, it happens to be: SXGA or VGA. But for me, i prefer the SGXA. As for your query on the video recoring. I have no idea. When recording, it does seem to be really good, but then when transfered, its terrible. Oh well, life goes on. Hope that helps.

  • adil mp3 ringtone is ok on e949/L1 but not on n412i or any other imode phone

  • hey you guys, I was considering buying this phone if I didn't buy the d820. But I was wondering if you can put the mp3's as ringtones. please write back

  • pls advise: 1)any idea why the video playback is blur-seems ok when recording? 2)mp3 song can't b played on phone after trf from PC to Phone? 3)pic trf to PC is very small?wht setting should i choose ? tks

  • barny. you want the e949 WAP version. You can use mp3 as ringtone. BT will send and receive files as well as handsfree. N412i does not have mp3 ringtone but same BT. L1 is the hong kong version

  • ------------------------------------------- Man this phone is a piece of garbage, the battery sucks, the features suck everything about it sucks! I read some good and bad things about it, mostly good and when I bought it… man, I was very disappointed, a few days later I took it back to the shop and exchanged it for a different one. If you wanna buy it for its looks then go ahead and buy it, but if u wanna good phone stick with nokia or samsung ------------------------------------------- now this is what i call what i call black propaganda...tsk tsk tsk

  • to whom it may concern.... ----------------------------------------- Just a question about the L1.... i'm thinking of buying it because it's a hot phone, but what does the USB do? and with the MP3s, the phone doesn't have speakerhone, does that mean they can't play out aloud? Also, what does Blue tooth allow you to do? Thanks!! ------------------------------------------ 1)what does the USB do? ans. USB enables you to transfer/upload files,pictures,movies form your phone to your PC (viceversa ). 2)with the MP3s, the phone doesn't have speakerhone,does that mean they can't play out aloud?? ans. NO. you can still play MP3s out loud just set the volume to your desired loudness,it has 9 lvls. of volume, by the way speakerphones are not used for playing MP3's its for calling/communication purposes. 3)Also, what does Blue tooth allow you to do? ans. Bluetooth does the same as USB, the only difference is your sending files via wireless connection.

  • @mick: please be specific in your problems why you said what you said...there is no good in venting out your anger to the phone if you can't defined clearly what upsets you. and yes you have made your point, got your other phone etc...you could help a lot of people by being specific and wanting to have the problem fixed other than making tantrums. thank you.

  • qwerty use the up/down left/right buttons with the camera. if you set the resolution to maximum there is no zoom

  • how the hell do you use the zoom function in camera mode on this phone???

  • himmy. you need to get NEC mobiling Software and a cable

  • How do u get MP3's ect on the phone, period!

  • How do u get MP3's ect. onto the phone via bluetooth, through your PC???

  • I now have a NEC 412i and a NEC L1. I would like to load the L1 software onto the 412i as my provider doesn't support i-mode. Can someone advise me how to do this?

  • try for free ringtones. Transfer via bluetooth. easy

  • see below re: computer connection.. my email address is [email protected]

  • i have the nec n412i and yes it will connect and print directly to a printer, but I cannot for the life of me, work out how to connect directly to my computer. No instructions in the manual and I cannot find anything online. Does this mean it cannot be done or am I missing something? Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me.. Michael

  • Amelia, i disagree... the phone is brilliant. It's better looking than the v3, and its thinner. It looks more professional... but i guess its all down to taste. So, Chris, if you do not like the look of the NEC and you prefer the V3... my advice would be to purchase the V3. I bought this phone because i loved the look of it, and i'm everything but dissapointed in it. Its a great phone, buy it and you will not be sorry.. unless you loike the look of the V3 more... up to ou i guess! hope that helps!

  • Chris, i have the nec n412i (this phone), and you may as well stick with your current phone. Sounds like a Sony Ericsson, jope im correct on that! Nah, otherwise purchase the Razr v3. That phone is so hott! Its far better, has speakerphone, the camera is better. Alas, the nec phone cant compare to it.. Oh wells, i cna survive. Battery is sucky also. Have a gud daii everyone!

  • Thanks again for the reply Tad... well i bought the phone! it's very sexy and i'm extremely impressed with it. However, i managed to download Mp3's onto my phone, and i have no idea how to set them as my ringtone! can you do that? if so, how? thanks!

  • hello there, can sombody who owns the nec L1 tell me if the phone is a good buy or not? im currently using the se d750 with the upgraded firmware to the w800. how does that compare to it? design wise, does it look better than the razr? im actually debating on getting iether the nec l1 or the moto v3i thanks for the help!

  • Man this phone is a piece of garbage, the battery sucks, the features suck everything about it sucks! I read some good and bad things about it, mostly good and when I bought it� man, I was very disappointed, a few days later I took it back to the shop and exchanged it for a different one. If you wanna buy it for its looks then go ahead and buy it, but if u wanna good phone stick with nokia or samsung

  • Have a look on this page, at the bottom there are FAQ's for Bluetooth and PC connection fot this phone. Hope it helps you.

  • Thanks for the reply Tad! i actually purchased the N412i yesterday, and Bluetooth doesn't work. I'm hoping to download Mp3s but bluetooth won't transfer and when i plug in my USB, nothing comes up on the computer so i'm unable to drag teh files into my phone via the USB cable, does anyone know why or another way i can download Mp3s?

  • Samantha, The USB allows you to connect to your computer and sync phone numbers etc. It can also sync with outlook. Even though it doesn't work as a speakerphone it has a speaker that you can listen to MP3s through. The bluetooth allow you to connect to other phones & transfer files also for Bluetooth handsfree and BT car kits.

  • I have the NEC n412i, I-Mode version of the L1/e949. Does anyone know the code to restore factory defaults. It was *#73738#* for previous NEC's but it doesn't work with this one. Thanks

  • Just a question about the L1.... i'm thinking of buying it because it's a hot phone, but what does the USB do? and with the MP3s, the phone doesn't have speakerhone, does that mean they can't play out aloud? Also, what does Blue tooth allow you to do? Thanks!!

  • For reseting your phone, there are two copper round pads under the sim card. Get a pair of tweezers and short them out. The phone will reset

  • Just a question, does anyone know how to convert mp3 to MFM ringtone files? I can play mp3's as my ringer, but only MFM files for SMS and MMS. Thanks!

  • im having a major issue with my 412i, its freezing on the imode screen and because the battery is built in, i cannot reset it anyway!! does anyone know how to reset the phone in this situation?? been frozen for 3 days this time!!

  • Yeh, like i just said, meemory space isnt all that great, but the way the phone consumes the battery, is amazing!!

  • The initial thought i got when seeing this phone was the: thin style. Didnt even think about the features, which now looking back, is dim of me. Bluetooth is good, camera is ok, but battery life? Really baaad. Within a day of listening to the mp3, battery would decrease, meaning recharging again. 26mb? Not very much, meaning at least 5 or so of very little memory.. Wish there were more memory space and a few more features. But a good phone overall. ^^

  • very nice the look

  • I've had the N412i version for over a month and love it. My one criticism is the ringtones as there are no simple "ring" ringtones. My favourite ring tones are the old fashioned phone bell sound "ring ring" & "ring". I have these tones in wma format but the phone appears to demand mid format. I'd appreciate any help on locating the 2 ringtones in mid format. (Quite loud also if possible.) I use the "ring ring" for calls & the "ring" for SMS. Any help much appreciated.

  • why when i use my blut i cansee other phones but other user cant find my phone? i think my phone is invisible to evryone? do you have a solution for my probllem? Happy new year!!

  • the battery totally sucks. if u use the MP3 player to play a couple songs, it uses up a 1/3 of the battery

  • hi, i really like this phone! i want to buy but dont know if it will be compatible with the bell mobility network, i live in toronto/canada. i know bell has 1 phone that is uses both cdma and gsm technology, the phone is a motorola A840, can any1 help?

  • Its gorgeous much better design than V3 imo. I hate V3s design but i like this one. Features are a little weak for me but its a very sexy phone.

  • Matt. The e949 has mp3 ringtones. The n412i does not have mp3 ringtones. The phone could run mp3 ringtones..just i-mode don't like it

  • This phone does not have MP3 ringtones!!!

  • is that 65k col? as compared to 260k col on the V3? It seems like such a big step backwards...

  • Slimmest fone on the market,Nec's done well by trying to squeez a lot of gagets in such a small phone(Bluetooth-Mp3 player-1.3mpixel camera with video recorder,etc...),most importantly is the L1 doesn't leave the big hole in your pocket(bought brand new in Ebay.com last month for only AUd$450.00),the battery is not outstanding but ok(100hrs standby time and 90 minutes of talk time).In HK it's been selling very well and can't hardly get enough stock(still HK$3800.00)and still selling.If you're looking for something unique,good looking,reasonable price then the L1(called N412i in Oz)is the right fone for you...No wonder why Motorola had brougt out 2 more colors in the V3 version and the V3i will be coming out not very long after that(where is the V3x..??Mr Motorola...we're waitng..!!).

  • In da last month I have gone thru the Samsung D600, Z500, Sony w800i, and Nokia 8800, and personally I love this NEC over the rest for its looks, quality, ease of usuage, and features. This NEC phone has done well. And yes is made in Japan.

  • L1 is the slimest phone i have been, the only thing i do not like is the battery and you can not add on memory card..

  • Been owning this phone for more than 3 months, no problem with battery whatsoever....

  • This phone got problem with battery life. did somebody hear about this problem, in Hong Kong this phone will not for sales anymore, is already on the 2nd market!

  • does the camera has flash?

  • When I was trying to charge the battery, it said battery temperature is too high. Does anyone know why it is, what causes the problem and how can I fix it? Thanks.

  • L1 has no speakerphone. And if there's a coloured screen outside, it'll become thicker. But the font for the digital clock is nice and contemporary. Still, I like this phone because the pros make up for the cons.

  • i want to download nec mobile suite for l1

  • Can anyone tell me if this phone has a speakerphone? It's not listed in the specifications. It's a pity it doesn't have a small colour screen on its cover.

  • eddie..if NEC put a memory slot in it..it wouldn't have been the thinnest. this phones selling point is not the features but the size

  • I also wonder, why is there no card slot for extra memory such as SD card? Some executives also have more than 500 address book contacts. You mean to tell me that with 26MB of memory this phone can not store more than 500 address book contacts?

  • i saw this phone yesterday...very beutiful phone..but the marketing department should take a leaf from Motorola v3...and give it a fancier name than just the model number. In fact, this is thinner than V3 and looks sharper than V3. All that hype on v3 and nothing here. This NEC e949 beats v3 on thinness anytime. period.

  • I was concerned about the battery life initially before I bought this phone. After using it for about 3 months now, I'm pleasantly surprised the way this phone "conserved" battery energy. As long as the cover is closed, the battery will not be used, almost like switching it off. I've tested this by charging it full at night, then left it on. The next morning, I tried charging it again, the battery LED indicator showed it's fully charge. This is one great phone!

  • the n412i is the i-mode version. e949 is the wap variant

  • also known as nec n412i in australia

  • Turning the phone off at night-time does make sense in terms of extending the "no-charge period" indeed. When I turn off my P910i at night, it lasts for somewhat 3 days. However, I'm a type of person who never turns off the phone expecting some wild SMS's from my friends on the oposite side of the globe, heh. Neverthess, I really hope that this Nec can be my next "mobile comrade" in the near future.

  • In this case I think the 600mHa is a false problem. Nec e949 seems to manage his battery in a different way. In my opinion if you switch off the phone in the night it could show a performance for at least 4 days (not heavy duty). I'll keep you informed.

  • -> Jack Thank you for your reply. I'm still curious if it can show a stable performance for at least 2.5-3 days considering it's 600mAh battery capacity.

  • Jaykay, I had this phone for 10 days. I can tell you the battery life is a big surprise: 100 consecutives hours in standby with 4-5 short calls (in a well served area, no text or games). In a medium usage you can get even 40-50 hours of batt-life.

  • I have been looking around for a replacement of my SE P910i (I'm a gadget freak, but recently decided to take some rest and simply enjoy a styish phone). My primary prey was a NK8800 but so many ppl complaining on its battery life and faulty software made me to switch my looks towards L1. And now I'm seriously willing to buy this phone. The only thing that I'm concerned now is its battery life. Can anyone of you who already have bought it tell us how many days can this phone really last?

  • Got the phone (I got 2, one for me and one for my wife, once again). Love the phone, but the bluebooth isn't working properly.

  • However, the phone is goddamn sexy. SO I guess just like life, its all about compromise.

  • 600mah battery. The battery life on this phone would be appalling.

  • Great phone all my friend where well impressed by its abilty to deliver high performance and style at the same time worth every penny. It looks great and i know no one who has it so it stands out brought it off ebay for �410. great phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • All people are amazed when they saw me using this NEC L1 !!! All people (guys & girls) love how this phone look & how much thinner, smaller & lighter when compare to the Motorola V3. I can feel that all those people are very serious about considering this L1 because they kept on wanting to hold & feel it & also asking questions about this phone especially the price & availability.

  • what is this Post your opinion about NEC e949/L1 haw mac many? thank you

  • Has been using this phone for almost 2 months now. No software or hardware problems. It's great, although I still wish they have external battery and tactile buttons. I prefer this phone to Razor anyday. Win, it costs about US$500 in Singapore too, but some vendors sell them for higher prices and as far as I know, they're sold out.

  • just bought two of these phones. love the phone but still need time to get used to the way it is structured.

  • the battery is in the i-pod style. you need to open it up to replace it. this of course makes the warranty void

  • What's up with the lack of memory & no card slot? Why woould they add MP3 player w/only 26MB of memory & no card slot even? Hella retarded, even though the phone is gorgeous!

  • What happens if your battery is faulty or you need to change it?

  • Gosh..........Its too sexy n stylish phone..........Features are also good.....

  • Nec L1 is a very delicate & well made phone (a lot better finishing & made than Nokia 8800). The reception of this L1 is very stable & strong. The boot up time is very short (you get reception within 5 seconds after turning on the phone & you can get datas very soon after). . . I never encounter encounter another phone as fast . . . excellent in this respect.

  • it ant ugly.at all.. its light consider nec phones have been pretty heavy...the exteral screen is very stilish,slim and dilgent deign..

  • Jt, I wonder if you have even seen the real thing?

  • Ugliest phone i have ever seen

  • Jolly Roger : Sorry, wrong conversion........approx. US$500.00 or HK$3,980.00 each (to be exact) is what I paid for. regards, win

  • Jolly Roger : My I ask how much the L1 cost you in Singapore? I paid around US$400.00 each. regards, win

  • Jolly Roger : I just picked up two of these L1. I notice that when I close the flip when I am in the camera mode or in the inbox message, this phone will not go back to the standby mode automatically. Why is this? I live in Hong Kong & we are the first to get this phone model. I tried the phone a few weeks ago (already available for sale even before the official launch) but wasn't too impressed because the buttons weren't so nice to press (the feel of the feedback)! The reasons behind my decision to buy two :-(one for my dad) is because of your opinon/comment towards this L1. The other reason is that I am fed-up with Nokia 8800........I brought a total of five (5) of them in the past months, one after another, but I encountered different problems with every single one of them (namely software & quality contral problem)! I brought my 6th 8800........but this time is for my mom & not myself. She loved it because of the look & the clear sound of the loud speaker. She only use the phone for incoming & outgoing calls ONLY & nothing else. Anyway, the L1 seems like a solid & well built phone. By the way, my first Nec MP dated back to 18-20 years ago. The second one about 2-3 years ago when it first came on the market (the NEC N8) which was terrible because it was big for a modern phone at the time but the battery life was very poor.......you can barely make 2-3 calls & the battery will need a recharge! regards, win

  • I agree. Nokia's current and upcoming model designs are, in my opinion, getting worse. Eventhough I feel they have one of the most user-friendly system around, but I'm looking for more than that now. For functionality and style, I took a liking towards Panasonic, Sony Ericsson and Samsung.

  • People buy Nokia because they are used to this brand........not because Nokia phones are any better or good looking or better made !!! In fact, Nokia phones are poorly made nowadays !!!!!!!!

  • actually nokia is against microsoft because symbian competes agaisnt windows mobile and its actually winning, not only that if they are ugly why so many people buy them uh?

  • Does anybody could tell me what about the stand-by time? (in hours please).

  • Excellent Design... Great Quality... The dream phone I was waiting for long. Thanks NEC to give this nice slim phone. Otherwise, you would end up using UGLY NOKIAs (40% marketshare), at whatever prices they ask for. Don't make NOKIA another MICROSOFT. We as consumer should keep promoting the new great designs to get benefits of compititions.

  • looks great! simple, but classy!

  • Believe it or not, I got this phone about a week ago. I stay in Singapore, it's a phone market here. After using for this long, I give it a 8/10 because I prefer good simple solid phones to ones that's fully packed with features. And Jack, if you do some comparision, this phone does have a shorter standby and talk time than the rest simply because the battery is built-in. hope that answers your question.

  • this phone isn't really launched yet but you can expect it next month. The i mode version is N412i and WAP is E949. look out for the special edition in Spain..

  • Pio : This phone has been on sale in Hong Kong for 3 - 4 weeks already. We can buy this phone even before the official launch date! The L1 is sold out at the moment so you won't be able to get any. The next shipment will be coming in October sometime. This phone is MADE IN JAPAN so it come directly from Japan. regards

  • Just wondering.. How come poeple already have this phone when NEC Japan posted the press release about the phone only 5 days ago?? Oh yeah, and does anybody have an opinion an where I should buy this phone? I live in Norway, and I don't think the phone is beeing marketed here, so if anybody could tell me if it is out for sale in another Scandinavian country that would be great. thx...

  • Just got this phone. The phone feels and looks much much better than pictures. Good: Super Slim & Sleek design Tough (made from metal alloy) Reception is great Good interface and user-friendliness Bad: Short standby & talk time Buttons are difficult to press Built-in battery

  • Well, the buttons are a bit small, and unless you have nimble fingers or a trip set of finger nails, its pretty hard to push for button. (NOTE: not meant for big hands or women with tallon-like nails) ... it fits perfectly in any small purse or a back pocket... my only problem is, is that it doesn't have a speaker phone :-( Besides that, the phone works like a charm, not hard to figure out, and the PC program that comes along with it, is fantastic.

  • This phone is selling very well & there is no stock because of the low supply & high demand!

  • this totally craps all over the motorola v3...dissapointing about low memory + no card slot but i could get over it...i dont know about the external looks though, a bit ugly...but thats the nec trait...

  • this phone supports data transfer via blueetooth. it is thinner than the razr

  • I infact have this phone since last month now. And I am really delighted with it. Esp the quality of its display and camera is amazing. 1.3 MP camera, you don't need to carry expensive camera while moving around. 25MB memory good enough for 125+ highest quality photos. MP3 player and BT for data transfers, no need for cables. So slim and compact comare to V3 Razr. More over made in Japan! I have had used many different phones, but this is simply amazing in this small size. If you want to put it in you Jeans, don't worry, it is thiner than your wallet.

  • I have no idea if this L1 support bluetooth data transfer or not(I did not try). When compare with the V3 side by side; the L1 is narrower & tiny bit thinner but overall it is longer than the V3(including the "antenna handle"). The V3 look better in comparison & more comfortable to hold. L1 has got build-in battery so you cannot change it. The sim card slot is on the side. The numerical numbers of the keypad are hard to press(you have to press quite hard) & the feel of the feedback was no good(the response & feel of the V3 keypad is nice for a thin phone). The screen colour is ok, interface ok. Anyway I am not impressed so I did not buy it. To me, the V3 is much better overall!

  • wow u have tried it, pls can u tell me bit more detail, e.g. comparison ot razor, and one main question, does it support bluetooth data transfer.

  • This thing is Made in Japan as printed on the back cover. I am not so impressed after seeing & trying this phone!

  • The phone is so slim and fully featured. Too bad the back design is so crap. You can see the screw and nec barcode (the one with id and stuff) on the back. pity. Lets hope they make the interface looks better. coz as far as i know all nec user interface are prety much boring with old uninteresting icons.

  • Nice design...only downfall is the short standby & talk time...What a pity!
