I was wondering how many, has experienced problems with their T68m phone. I haven't had anything but troubles with mine.
# It shuts down when it lies in my back pocket
# It displays that there is average coverage, but when I call someone it never reaches the connecting part, cause somehow the coverage disapeers!
# At a time my display went beserk and showed a lot of strange symbols in the display, but they weren't there when I closed/turned it on again (has though been solved with a software upgrade)
# And a last it is so damn slow when writing a SMS, looking at my stored SMS's

Could Esato make a vote on how many that had experienced problems and how many times??
To me it sounds like quite a few, but maybe that's normal???

Mine is at my service point for the fourth time now! First the volume-button stopped working! One month at the service point! Then it started to live it's own life, with turning it self off and on, locking up and so on.. I'm going to get a new T68m in the end of the week, so I hope the one I get then works!
I'm just not a signature kind of guy..

Mines fine not had one problem with it - my old one sometime switched off but that went in the washing machine and my new one which ive had for 2 months is perfect not super fast in sms but everything else is good - speed is excellent through menus and battery life is also superb compared to all my other phones ive had. Suppose ive been lucky i seem to be the only one who t68 is in superb order

I heard some rumours that if the T68m (early HW R-states) has serious problems, won't fix it, they replace it with a new one.

Have anyone got their phone replaced(not due to complaining of missing MMS)?
Did you get a T68i or T68m?
How long do you think before run out of T68 and replace phones with T68i?

In my ears it sounds like someones wish-list more then facts...!?

I had only those problem with GSM-field coverage (usual for ericsson! ) but after visiting service centre (my phone was here for ONLY 2 (TWO) DAYS!!!) where I also get newest R2B013 software and of cource radio part replaced as said in the report mine is fine now and works exelent, also WAP (trough GPRS) is MUCH FASTER now after this SC visiting! No other problems with my T68m at the moment (using it from the end of November 2001, R1A/R1B said at its back; made week 46, 2001 in Sweden).

I had an early T68m where the screen went berserk during Wap and after I turned it off - it was OFF permanently, the archetypical brick
No problem at the service point, got a new T68m after a little more then a week. Only the battery is left from the original phone, and unfortunately the battery is now a little losely fitting

/H - I still love my T68

After reading all this yesterday my phone developed a problem last night - can you believe it! It won't charge unless you hold the charger plug up slightly towards the front of the phone. I eventually managed to prop up the phone so it was pushing it forwards. Don't know if it's the phone or the charger though.

Im having lots of problems with my T68m!

*Its freezes
*It turns it self of
*No Network available (when I know there is by checking on friends phone)
*Extremely slow in menus and T9 (Might like all the others but I sees it as a big problem)
*The soundquality of incoming gets "unhearable" some times

Its at the ServicePoint for the third time now, if Ill have ONE more problem with it, Im going to demand to have my money back and buy something else in a different store!!
(Might be T68i )
