There is a flash-less 2 megapixel camera sitting on the back of the opened E840. We won’t remember it as the etalon of camera phones. The landscape viewfinder and the lack of autofocus are all sign of the fact that E840 is not specialized in photography at all. This is further confirmed by the pictures taken with it, which are very noisy, even though software tries to blur contrasts. In the settings we can see the ones characteristic of the manufacturer, like ISO setup, frames, effects or a number of environmental settings.

There is a Photo Editor too, which can be used to resize, rotate and apply effects to photos, but it takes a man to have patience for such things. When recording videos, we have a resolution of 352 x 288 pixels, this is something that the phone doesn’t have to be ashamed of.
The musical part isn’t bad either, as the MP3 player can run in the background, it displays album covers, and there are predefined EQ settings too. The volume that can be set in 15 steps is not powerful enough when playing music through the speakers, and the supplied headset is only of mediocre quality and it cannot be taken apart. This means that we can use our own headset only if acquire a separate converter. There is a built-in FM radio too, which support RDS, and this requires the headset to function, as it is used as an antenna.
Memory card browsing speed is incredibly slow. The 1 GB size of the Kingston card used for testing was way over E840’s tolerance level, as switching the 7-8 music tracks on the card caused 12-15 seconds of lockup for the software. It is good news that Office documents and PDF files can be displayed, and the whole thing can be pushed out to the TV (if we have the proper cable). The games are all familiar; the phone had full versions of Bobby Carrot and TimeRider II on it, along with some other demos.
