I was lucky enough to get hold of one of the first T68-s to arrive in Hungary, around Christmas 2001, have long since put it aside, but two years ago, when my mother (now 66) got her first mobile subscription, gave it to her. She still uses it, with the original battery, and the phone is in mint condition. Diehard SE fans may want to stone me for this, but were it not for the Nokia 6310i, I would rate the T68 as the best mobile ever made. |

I lent my T68i (and attachable camera) to my gf the other day to replace her very broken Nokia. I never realised that the camera wasn't 1/2 bad considering how long ago I got it. Transfered the old pics to my k800 and they look cracking. The T68i's screen really didn't do photos justice. |

I was using my t68i as a back up up untill may when we (family) gave all our used phones away to relatives in bangladesh. Was shocked at how many phones four people can collect over five years. Wanted to keep my Ericsson r380 but couldn't justify why to my dad. It's better that ppl use them right?
t68i was a very very reliable phone for me, never died/crashed/gave me cr@p.
I think it was the first phone as sony ericsson. My dad would say the same about the t68, he didn't like the colour of the t68i so opted for the firmware update. |

Both very nice phones in their day, I think the T68 retailed in NZ for the equivalent of GBP 500!
However, from a carkit installers point of view, both were dreadful. The T68 has no external antenna connector on it like the other  phones so I contantly had to explain this to disappointed customers  and the 6310 and i had a carkit echo problem which stemmed from buggy software. There was a code you could punch in to reset the duplex settings but it kept needing to be reset. One of my customers threatened to take Voda NZ to court - his company had about 20 6310i's and Carkit91's...

Just decided to refresh this thread. My T68i is still in use and doing good. I bought it 2002 (31. May) and used as a primary phone until 2007 (30. April). Then it retired for a less than 6 months and then joined again the active duty. Since then it's working constantly with quite a heavy use with another sim.
So, 7 years and and 3 months for now

I've often though about getting a T68 or a P800 for novelty value... just the other day I saw a pristine fully functioning P800 boxed with all the accessories for the equivalent of 15 pounds GB - worth it do you think?
@Masseur
If you still have the T68m and one day want to sell it, PM me.

I still have my original T68m and T68i and its most unlikely I will ever sell those as they, for me, were the beginning of "modern" mobile phones with colour and joystick etc
Its also largely what brought me here

My old T68m (with "i" firmware) is still in occasional use by my mum, who makes a call on it maybe once a year. It still seems to work just fine, and does everything she needs, and probably many other things she doesn't for that matter! Good phone, Ericsson's last and SE's first if I remember rightly.
