most opperators havent got MMS ready and most of the wap pages arend in colour. some country's dont have GPRS yet, and just for some backgrounds its a lot of money for such a phone.

we buy colour screen phones, because we like new gadgets. We need the latest technology in our hands. If not, we get jealous of the people who do have these gadgets.

Because it's the future! And yes it's true i do get jealovs of people with better gadgets! :-]

I think that color screens are absolutely useless in normal cell phones. They take more power to run than b&w screens. I'd rather take longer stand-by times.

as long as MMS isent ready and works whitout a problem it is useless to buy a coulor phone. and GPRS is way to expancive

I have't got mine yet. It should arrive on Monday. I'm getting it for the tri-band and bluetooth. But hey! How many of my friends have a phone with a color screen. Bring on the gadgets. In color please!!!

Why dont you buy a black and white TV?????Duh
Posted by bart
because al tv show's are already in colour! not everything is in coulor for the mobile phone world

OK Bart I know you don't like your T68 so go and get another phone you do like - not in colour. No one forced you to buy a colour screen phone. I personally wouldn't live without a colour phone now but that's my preference.
GPRS in UK actually works out cheaper in many respects than standard WAP calls and colour WAP sites will be popping up everwhere as more colour phones come on the market - that's called technological advance. MMS will be released over here in the UK very shortly and is operational in several countries already!
Why buy anything new and better? Because we like it! If you don't like it don't buy it - it's as simple as that but I bet you in another few years ALL phones with be in colour.
Anyway good luck with your hunt for a new phone.

I'm happy that I've got a colour screen, it made all my freinds with black and white screen Nokia's jealous, mwahahahahahaha
Any how once you've got a colour screen there is simply no going back.
When and if I buy a new phone it must have a colour screen or else it just won't feel right.

Linkinpark I totally agree!

Well, I didnt buy the T68 for the "color-screen alone".
I bought it, because its got some features that I use.
I had the T-39,..and used its features a lot,..and I simply wanted a newer phone with even more features, and I liked the joystick-idea and "of course" the colorscreen is nice too.
It was exactly the same with e.g. color-tv's and pc's,..SOMEONE had to start it off.
Colorscreens will appear more and more, we saw that on Cebit as well.
It makes it easier to read content/menues and so on. So it does have a purpose, apart from making the phone attractive.
Thats just called evolution
I didnt buy the T68 because of MMS.
Gprs I used on my T-39 as well,..quite ok price here in DK.
So of course I didnt want to buy a phone, that didnt have the features the T-39 had.
So the natural choice was : T68.
All the features plus more, no antenna, bigger screen, and a beautiful design,..who could ask for more

I got the t68 because my boyf wanted it. And he asked me if I too wanted one. How can you turn a question like that down?
Besides, I love my color screen.

remember when computer monitors where all either green, white or amber? it really strains your eyes! why not be future ready and always be ready for change?
Posted by arroyootje
I saw the T68 the first time and KNEW it would be mine.... It was beautiful, I think the reason why we have colour screens is cos it looks more life-like and people like that....
Posted by DREWMARK
We buy colour screens because we have to move on like the b and w tv thats life you see.
Posted by doubleduh
with a color screen I can see the difference between red and black cards in a cardgame
and it just looks so much better, even on wap-sites that are only black and white (they're no longer black and green
)...
Posted by escobar
I agree, seeing things in colour makes using a phone much better and easier IMO! But the colour-screens of today are not quite good enough when it comes to being able to view it in direct sun-light!
Otherwise, I have my pda, tv & pc with coulour-screens! So why not my phone too?
Posted by jibuti
because we are snobbish!!!!!!!!......
No, only kidding....I like style and design, if it was non-colour screen...well, it would look like R520 ( approx.the same size of screen..), only more elegant....
NO kia
Posted by papajames
maybe coz the non color screens may be phased out someday and colored screens will be the replacement.
Posted by n|ck_xp
Becouse I love Technology and I want to have the latest who is available !!!
Thats why!
If you dont like you can to stay with the old phones...

The reason I bought a T68 was to be unique. As a high school student in New York, my peers are still playing with their StarTacs and Nokia 3390's, so with a T68 I definitely stand out. Though Americans are light years behind the rest of the world technology-wise, I do believe that, in New York at least, most cell phone users are high school students.

Colour is the step forward...

Damn u people dont get that for example the nokia 7650 (which I now owe) is a mofo digital camera, with good resolution, THAT is future and why we need colour displays so we can combine different types of equipment. I wouldn´t want a camera in b&w =)
Posted by ervil
Denpa. Congratulations with the 7650 -you must be one of the first to get one. I guess it will be quite popular, even though I prefere a smaller phone myself.
When it comes to the camera, your 7650 has the exact same resolution as the Mca-20(camera for T68i) -both have max. 640x480 pixels.
I totally agree than colour screens are the future with camera-options and MMS. I will get my Mca-20 at friday.

The colour screen is excelent, I'd never go back to black and white now. Besides the colour screen, the T68 is a great little phone. There isn't alot out there that comes close to it. For such a small package it's crammed full of great features, its simply brilliant!
