T68 is the first to offer a joystick and Windows like menu so therefore may appear easier to use....but what short memories you all have...either that or just a limited experince of handsets.

Ericsson's are slow and new software doesnt help.

Since first using a Nokia Orange (the first Orange phone along with the Motorola mr1 to be released back in 1994, I think) I have always chosen Nokia phones purely because of their easy menus. Apart from a few features here and there, the one major thing that sets phones apart are their menus and software. Untill recently I would never have bought an Ericsson phone, but since they've changed the way they've structured their menu system and somewhat surpassed Nokia, it means I can choose a phone based purely on it's features.

So T68i it is!

I used to think so when I had a nokia.

I'm not so sure now. The ericsson menu is a lot more intuitive on the T68x series of phones. I guess it's just what you are used to,

nokia's menus arent necessarily better,
they just respond faster.
SE's menu has too much lag on the t68 for example.
in electronics, nanoseconds of lag is crap already, what more 1 sec of lag in t68...
but the features overpower the lag...

I think that Ericsson menus are more userfriendly then Nokia. But thats my opinion.

I can just say that SE has improved. But for sms I think nokia is still better especially when you need to forward the message to a few of your friends.

I've always been little of a fan of Nokia menus, not because of their superior menu system, but because of their superior menu and sms speed! After the launch of phones such as the T66 and T600 where speed isn't a problem with menues anymore, I've turned to liking them better...!

When it comes to the menu system of color phones I must say I still prefer the 7650 style over the T68/T300 style...

Cant say i think nokia menus are bad but for the phones with color i havnt tested any nokias. But the SE t68i and t300 imust say that the icon based menus are superb. just love them. could be a notch faster, but most phones can be. It's completley horrible that the menus in r600, which is a new phone, are worser then ever. How can they do things worse all of a sudden.

And why have they removed the battery time on volume slide?

I think SE should use Sony menues. If you ever used Sony CMD-Zx you would know that they are much better then those from Nokia or Ericsson.

I like the T68i menu, granted it's slower to refresh but I am used to it now. As with any predictive text, you get used to that as well - moving back to Nokia is a little clumsy for me as I am used to the T68i.

The Nokia menus are very basic and work well. You don't know how many options there are as you scroll through each one (unlike the T68i which displays them all on a 'desktop'), but then people are happy with that and adding more options will not require cramping the 'desktop'.

Overall, the T68i menu can be improved - but it doesn't bother me enough to switch to a 7210. I consider the whole package.
