Has anybody bought one of these T68i cameras from CPW UK? They seem to be CPW's 'own brand' cameras.

If so, what are they like? Are they as good as the MCA-20? or more like the MCA-10? I'm thinking of getting one as they seem cheap to me.
Am I going to regret purchasing this?

I know CPW were selling the MCA-20 Communicam for that price, are you sure they are now selling their own brand?
The link from the URL you gave says:
CPW Ericsson Communi Cam2
£79.99
And it looks like an MCA-20, I know it also says "Mobicam for Sony Ericsson T68i" but I'm inclined to believe it's a Sony Ericsson MCA-20.
Why don't you call them up on their number: 0808 100 9250 or just visit one of their shops to find out for sure?

A-Ha! (AP) everything becomes clear...
The CPW camera IS NOT a SonyEricsson brand it's a CPW Copy. However this CPW copy camera has no internal memory in the camera, so you have to store all your pics on the handset. Thus storage is limited to the space available on your handset...
...Hence why it's cheaper than the branded MCA-10/20
Oh well, back to Ebay.

Not much information to find on the Carphone Warehouse site about the camera features. But CPW camera "CPW Ericsson Communi Cam2" weights 25g and the original
CommuniCam weights 22g.
Difficult to spot the difference, but if you look closely you can see that the lences is different and the blue area is reversed on the CPW unit.

you're better off with the mc-68 communicam.
all the features of the mca-20 and then some! it has an on / off switch to save battery life if you want to keep the camera connected and comes in different colors to match your phone geez, i sound like an ad.

Proud owner of a Carphne Warehouse Mobicam Zoom. Mixed results but on the whole very dood
Think I just need to tinker with its settings.
The camera does have an internal memory (1Mb) so you can store on the camera as well as on the phone.
