The text style bit is in the original t68 manual but it never transpired.

T68i and T68m both are looking good to me.
both has its own style in my opinion.
so, I won't pay for a new T68i again... just waiting for the upgrade |

I've noticed that the screen/icons are much brighter/sharper on T68i,..where the T68m screen/icons is more "blurry/faded" in colors.
Thats probably also a reason why the screen looks different.
The colors are more "seperated", if You know what I mean

There are several hardware versions (also called "revisions") of the T68m on the market. I wonder if this screen problem is related to a specific hardware version, or if it's only seen on Jan's T68m or on all phones from the same batch.
The only "bigger" problem that I have been told was fixed by a hardware change (revision) is that with the microphone. (People at "the other end" could sometimes hear a "bumblebee sound", especially when you talk loudly in your T68m.) I know that a new firmware also took care of this microphone problem, but this was only a workaround on phones with older versions of the hardware.
It would be interesting if everyone in this forum (especially Jan) could tell us the hardware and software revisions, and also the manufacturing date and country, that is printed on the label under the battery. (The current loaded software (firmware) is found by using instructions elsewhere on this superb site (www.esato.com)). Then it would be easier to find out what versions are having problems (hardware or software bugs).
You can see the hardware revision next to the product number, and the product number is something like "KRC 114 1290" (on T68m). The revision itself (also called "R-state") is something like "R1B" or "R2A" (the later is newer).
Unfortunately I don't own either a T68m or T68i. I have only bought one, a T68m, to my son, and he lives 800 km from here. And I don't think that you are interested in what versions I have in my old R320s!
If I could be sure of that Sony-Ericsson eventually release a firmware for T68m, that will make this model as fast and function rich as the new T68i, then I would buy a T68m immediately! (I know that it soon will be impossible to get one, as Sony-Ericsson has stopped the manufacturing of it.) The reason for this, is that I prefer the design of the T68m, but want the speed and functions already available in the T68i. It's a pity that the designer of T68m is not employed by Ericsson (Sony-Ericsson) any more - His job is now done by a Japanese, which could be the reason of the new design on both T68i and other new (coming) models.
Keep telling us about the differences found between the T68m and T68i! The older hardware versions of T68m are for sure NOT (electrically) identical with the new T68i, no matter what the Sony-Ericsson representatives say. (Note that I don't say, or know, anything about whether ALL versions of T68m will be as fast and function rich, with the forthcoming firmware, as the current T68i.) | |
