Alright, I'm really starting to miss my old T39! People that seem to know the stuff here don't seem to be very helpful but rather let people keep posting very superficial comments: phone's faster, it's not, BT work, it doesn't, MMC work, MMC doesn't!
I'm a newby to the T68 world but I'm already getting a headache over this. I've tried getting answers about simply things for about a week but no1 seems to care. Maybe I'll be more lucky this time (or not!).
I got a T68m last week, locked for T-mobile network, upgraded to R5A020 fw. The phone seems to be working good (minus the 290hours of standby... thought the upgraded models would get the same as the newer T68i... apparently not but I just ordered a 1200mAH battery so hopefully this will help).
Now, I've been having problems accessing my GPRS network though I might have missed some configurations steps (will check).
I don't use the phone for MMC or WAP or PIMs but rather use it with Bluetooth and my Pocket PC to access the GPRS network so I do need BT to be working 100%. I understand that it might not be working because of problem with the fw upgrade.
Now, here are my questions:
1) does the latest FW help receiption signal or call quality? I've noticed that my phone has problems finding networks unless I restart it and sometimes I don't even get voicemail alerts.
2) any chance I would be getting better battery?
3) is there a way to fix a phone is the upgrade messes up Bluetooth or anything else or will the phone be permanently useless?
4) I found someone to unlock my T68m. Will the unlocking process reset the phone settings? This person also offered my to upgrade my R5A020 T68m to R5D007 for an extra $9. Is the upgrade worth it (I'm assuming this will completely reset the phone and all my voice dialing settings... am I right)?
Now, if you don't know how to answer please don't make this post any longer, I don't care. If you know your stuff, please help...
Thanks,
Sam

1. No it has no effect on signal/call quality.
2. No
3. Depends... a master reset of the phone might help (this option erase phonebook, saved pictures etc, and set the phone back to factory settings)
4. A upgrade doesn't delete anything saved in the phone, if it's successful, but if something goes wrong during upgrade it can be erased, so it's always best to do a backup before upgrading.

Excellent, so I guess for $20 it seems worth it upgrading to the latest firmware and have the phone unlocked. I can probably ask the person who will be doing the upgrade to make sure he backs up the phone b4.
Thanks for the info.

I have a T68m with software R1B and i am planning to upgrade it to R5D. Does it need to be upgraded to the MMS software first?

Depends on where you do it.Always ask which version they can put in your cellphone.Best to use
servicepoint if you can.

I got a question for ya'll... I have a t68i from t-mobile in the US and it was originally locked but I got it unlocked through the provider. It currently has software that is customized to T-Mobile (R3E002 - there is a data comm account and a wap profile that you cannot edit or remove as well as a ringtone and a background image) if I get a firmware update to any other newer version like r5d007 will I now have access to those items? Cytech? Thanks!

When I use voice dialing my phone hangs after the beep and the command is frozen in the display. I have to remove my batt. The phone was ok in the beginning, but this bug showed upp last week. I did a reset on the phone and the bug disappeared. It worked for a week and now the bug is back.
Someone else experience this?

Nope. Voice dialling works great on mine. I was actually surprised to how good it was. I'm using R5A020 but will soon upgrade to R5D.
One thing that doesn't seem to work is my voice mail dialling in SMS. For some reasons every time I click the call voice mail from the SMS menu, the phone will start calling but then gets a weird signal (like there is no network available). I checked the voice mail settings and it seems to work fine. I can use the voice mail button anywhere else without any problems.
NE1 got an idea?
