I was a nokia devote for about 6years, 5110,6110,7110,8210,8310.
The phones where stuck to me ear constantly due to my job, and my fingers are about 2cm shorter after billions and billions of txt, however my contract was near expiring and i fancied a change. I got bored with the same interface over and over again. So mr naive(myself) went to a voda shop to check new phones. The guy showed me an T68. Colour screen(most ovious difference), bluetooth voice coms etc...
That was it Ericsson was then "The one" matrix style.
Ive the phone ever since, only gripe is it crashes often, numbers appear in call list instead of names(even though they r in memory) and the text is slow. I have to upgrade my sw correct?? |

*tiggerman: Yup, definitely sounds like you need a FW upgrade. From the way other T68 users sound, those problems you mentioned should be fixed after it. Good luck!  |

i found the ericsson service line 08705237237 uk, they put me touch with my local service centre. Ive got a appointment tommorow to upgrade to R2b. They said it should sort the problems. Hopefully it'll work other wise, dare i say? i may be forced to retreat to a nokia. Ahh!!
Cheers peeps for the info..
I'll keep you posted Tiges |

I AM STAYING WITH ERICSSON!!
I got phone back this afternoon, so far it is working fine.
All the names are there instead of numbers, but the texting speed hasnt much improved. There is also little pictures in the call list, like little mobiles & houses. What a novell touch!
The shop had my fone most of the day as i couldnt stay & wait. But the strangest thing was i told them i need a "loan" phone for the day. would you believe it they gave me a Nokia 8210. Omen or Not??

Wow...they lent you a phone for the day?!? Don't think they do that here in the Phils. 
I'm glad your phone's much better now. But don't expect the T9 to really get fast with FW upgrades...it's a fact for Ericsson, but you get used to it. |

i have been a nokia user for quite a while, i believe 9 years..... and trust me on this piece of advice, drop nokia altogether! functionality wise, ericsson stands out. their features makes you wanna uhm*uhm all day! excuse the pun..... ericsson maybe a bit pricy as compared to nokia, but boy, the features are worth it!  |

I think it's just a matter of taking the dive. Most non-Ericsson users find the Ericsson phones complicated. I say give it a chance. Like I mentioned in the earlier threads, it is more complicated simply because it's a bit more comprehensive than the Nokia interface. It's just a matter of getting used to the Ericsson interface. However, one has to credit Nokia's designs. They do have some kick *ss looking phones. |

I really won't commit myself to any of them.
If it happens that all of a sudden Sendo is making phones with great features, i may even consider getting one too.
What i'm trying to say is that the brand doesn't matter much.

*GOwin: True, true...the brand doesn't matter much, as long as the phone performs well and has all the features you want.
Branding comes in, I guess, when it comes to relying on the quality of the product...'coz sometimes all the features may be there but it breaks down easily. |
