I do feel the clock "screen saver" should be removed in the next firmware release.
As mentioned in a previous post, screen savers were intended for CRT monitors. Because of the way the CRT works (electrons striking a phosporus coating) having the same image on the screen constantly can cause the image to be burnt into the monitor.
This simply does NOT happen with LCDs. The reason for having a screen saver on those is purely for looks! (or to impress people).
Now the reason we have the clock saver on the T68 is for battery life. As its only a monochrome image ... you can still see it with the backlight switched off (which is what saves the battery life). Having the clock on, would not save any more battery life versus having the normal background image of the phone on, providing the backlight is off in both cases.
I do wish that damn clock was removed.

I agree there should be a better way to see if you have a missed call or a new sms/email or an event has sounded its alarm (calendar) and you havent acknowledge it. Best way would be to use the led's blink is diffrent paste or have it on and not blink at all untill you have acknowledge whatever have happened. This could be made with software so it would be very easy for  to add this functionality to the phone.

Oh man there are stupid posts in this thread. Stop yapping about I don't like this and that. Every brand has it's "flaws" which may be considered as value-add to others. For instance, I like the screensaver clock, and I like the stupid flashing led (If it flashes, I know I have reception, and I know the phone is turned on).
Maybe y'all should start a new thread with likes and dislikes, it could go on forever...

do you guys know that 7210 don't have Irda port? someone who had a go with the beta ver of 7210 says there's no Irda port build in. nokia wants you to buy their data cable so they can make more money. |

If your expecting a important call, why do you intend to miss it? What are you doing not taking the phone with you.
You know the phone does ring!!!!!!!
If you've just missed the call/sms the LED will be blinking faster than usually.
If you don't like to touch your phone untill its required you should stick with your land line.
Also the option is always there to leave the backlight on.
But that said i do hate the clock and can see your issue with that.
And i tell you. Can you really be comfortble using those stylish but akward and out of place buttons of the Nokia's 7210.
Polyphonic also suck, It's a phone not a jukebox, give me the old ring ring anyday.

Well as to no ird, i think that that a usb cable would be supplied with it.
There must be some sort of communication with Pc's for downloading videos and pics

recieved info on the cable thing. depending on your service provider / phone vendor, the cable may or may not be bundled with the phone. had some people in asia trying to rip off people buying the samsung t100. some came with the cable and cd but cost more. others said that it was packaged seperately and charged you extra money for those. same thing happened with the 8310 when it came out. some guys were selling it without the radio handsfree and it costs about US$18 to buy a seperate one. damn hustlers!  |

Every mobile phone has some problems.
Before I buy a new mobile I always ask around and see what phones my m8's have got. I think too many people see a flash phone and buy it and then realise that it isn't the right type for them.
Also not disrespect but the led light stopping u sleep... I mean cummon that's just daft. Buy a nice puch or something to keep ur phone in at night or something.
Personally I can sleep with that plus about a 1000 other little lights on in my room (monitor led, video clock, etc)
Also to whoever said:
"If you've just missed the call/sms the LED will be blinking faster than usually."
I just tried that and it doesn't

to those who are not satisfied with their phone....dont get mad.
why do you always complain? just leave the phone the way it was, and yes i respect your "wishes" for the phone but sorry ericsson is ericsson and nokia is nokia and can never become the way than the other.
the problem with nokia is...they didnt boost features in software (gprs, bluetooth, etc..) these are future features for modern phones. u think a titanium case will help? not!
in that case....nokias are for children cause they look cool...while ericsson is for serious individual who needs an mobile office.

Pity....Having T68i is like having Natalie Portman around. Cute, Humble and Smart...I been using T68i for 3 weeks. Even with Nokia or Samsung or any other company making a new phone...I simply don't bother..Why? Because T68i have physical attraction(for now) The pearly white and metallic blue seems have the cute factor....go buy 7210 or True i. Its good for you because i deserve better...
