to all,
please also note that it says "conversion" not upgrade, "once the conversion is done, there is no way back".
this explains the delay. sonyericsson is preparing not just the firmware but something else (hardware?) for the T68m to be "converted" to the T68i. so in the end, the difference is just cosmetic. |

Well what can I say more proff and now this is official, no one ever belived what us TRUE Spokers, claiming that the t68=t68i we were seen as fools and people that didn't want to realize that our beloved t68 was passed by the t68i, BUT now even has it on their own site in the faq, that you Scoota for the find.
Well countdown and am I right once week 20 hits it will be worldwide on the emma server right ??
------------------
Oh sorry to the t68m/mc owners that went out and bought the t68i, um now you have two identical phones

Glad to hear T68m is the same as T68i/e. At least my T68m does not become obsolete that soon. |

Actually there is one missing feature not implemented on T68 new software, that is an WAP 2.0 browser that already built in T68i |

Tried the link but couldn't find the statement. Just the usual FAQ -no "recently added questions/answers". Is it removed??? |

I did also see that the 2.0WAP is missing. WHY? And are there any big differences? |
