Hi guys,
I have a Treo 600 as my primary business phone and iniisip ko to get a an SE T68(i) phone sa Greenhills as my weekend/evening phone. Kaya lang ang feedback sa akin ng iba, mabagal daw ang software ng T68(i). Mahina raw ang SMS alert tone. I was thinking di ba pde ma-fix ng firmware iyon? Kasi I used to own an Ericsson T28s and ang lakas ng SMS alert tone noon.
Patulong naman guys, I am planning to purchase one of these days. Nasa mga Php3,500-4,000 lang siya kasi last time I canvassed.

I still have a 16 month old T68i with an R8A(Euro) firmware. I use it as a back-up phone.
Compared to newer phones, yes, it is slow. The SMS and ringtones ay mahina din. Nasa wish list din ng marami yung gusto mo, pero hindi din ginawa ng

@manoftrueGod - I guess the price you posted for the SE T68i is the one being labeled as 'reconditioned' units which were altered in China or perhaps even here in our country
They say that reconditioned fone units are those which already have poor quality parts assembled inside your fone 
I guess those kind will only last for a year or two If you really like to have an original/genuine T68i, 'just might as well buy from folks advertising in the Buy and Sell The tabloid cost only Php 20 in the news stands 
Market price of 2nd hand SE T68i now only sells from Php 4-4.5K, will go for Php 5.5-6K if there is an mca-20/25 cam included ! Happy hunting

You're better off buying a second hand phone from someone here at Esato vs. the GH units.

Crackerjack, hmmm, mahina pala talaga ang SMS alert niya. So, lagi kayong naka-vibrate mode at laging nakakabit sa katawan iyong phone?
Kasi nilalagay ko iyong phone sa holster, kung mahina rin ang vibration niya, hindi ko siya mapapansin :-(
Hmm, bakit kaya ganoon ang naging design ng T68i? Naging best phone pa naman siya two years ago.
Papalitan ko na sana iyong backup phone ko na blue Moto V60 na T-mobile, ang lakas ng SMS alert noon at ringtone. Iskandaloso nga iyon sa lakas.
Hmm, naga-alangan tuloy ako ngayon, pero labs ko iyong phone na iyan, nag-Treo lang ako muna last 2 years, kasi field personnel ako.

@manoftruegod - t68 is one of the best phones i have ever had, i know alot would agree. kumpleto na sya sa features at sulit sa price nya ngayon. 2lad ng sbe ni jplacson, its better getting a 2nd hand(original) one like wat senninha is selling rather than un nasa greenhills...

how can you tell the one you're buying is not a reconditioned unit? should I ask for the original receipt?

Looks like @manoftrueGod will be buying my Motorola V60i after all - mates
- real bargain price here! He did not dwell on getting a T68i one anymore, because of the release of the reconditioned ones 
Though my fone is still up for grabs before he gets it tomorrow

Well, after getting distracted by JN, wasting my cycles with his Moto, and several flip-flops by him, yes-no-yes-no, I finally decided to return to my original quest - secure a second hand T68i.
Guess what? I've got one from a nice lady at Php3.5K! And this is not reconditioned. However, I am no expert but she told me that the original ones have their numbers printed with the "CE 9999 (!)" in italics while the reconditioned units are not. Perhaps you guys can confirm this.
But, at that price, I guess I am happy to have a backup phone this nice as an alternative to my Treo 600 for evenings and weekends.
If not for JN, probably I would have considered senninha's. I also asked around how much is the T68i for a trade-in. The claim is that it can be traded in for Php2.5K.

@manoftruegod - My sincerest apologies, for what had transpired last Saturday afternoon-July 24th
It was an inevitable one mate I guess during the course of our exchanging of 'text' messages, everything was in place for our meet come July 24th, as I have told you the reason behind the incident via your Hotmail email address. I know I was 'totally' at fault here mate, so I apologize Looks like the V60i was not really meant for you, but instead, an SE T68i 
I hope that incident will not tarnish our friendship here at esato. I hope you can forgive me here mate
