Most phones will be out of date within 12 months of release, however top of range phones will still be good years later. E.g. I still use my t28. It works well, and its small light and still looks good. The t68i is still better than most phones out because the features r all packed into such a small phone. I wouldnt be seen dead with a 7650-its a brick. End of.

the good thing about T68:
its not fashionable, design is not that trendy and will become old fashioned.
features? well thats the main course of T68 you cant call it OLD FASHIONED because your "not so needed" features are there but for sure you'll need it in the future.

I had a T39m. I was pretty happy with it. I wanted to change... (just to change).
I hesitated between 7650 and T68i ! I made the wrong choice (7650). Heavy, big, no voice BT support...
I sold it two months later, and bought (three weeks ago) (what a chance) a Ericsson T68 brand new, at almost half of the price of the  T68i , and I asked for a software upgrade at a service point so now I have a T68i.
The only available phone with: Full BT support, color screen, GPRS, Wap, Sync ML, Calendar, mail support, MMS support...
Find another one, and let me know !!!
Cheers

Now I own a GD87 but I tell you, theres nothing yet like a T68 I believe that a T68 with a screen like the Pana an java could be the ultimate mobile, P800 maybe, but is bigger and heavier, still T68 is the best around, so small, so light and so complete  |

I have both the t68i and the 7210.
Normally i carry both about but i leave my t68 at home when i go out to the pub or go clubbin, etc as i dont need e mail or bluetooth.
Feature wise, the t68i is great, only missing java and poly tones, but if i was compareing the 7210 with the phone that i origianally got (t68m) then things mite be different. I love my t68. had it over a year (personal record for me) but i feel without the software updates it would be struggle. Maybe not, who knows.

I guess none here case to admit the lacks of the t68, so i'll just do it then he he... No speakerphone! - a very usefull function which the t68 lacks, and 7210 and 7650 has. No java! - very usefull for customizeing and adding features and games to your phone. No polyphonic ringtones! - maybe not a necessarity, but still nice to have that option. I could mention a lot more features only the 7650 has, over the t68, but i won't since they're not even in the same league, feature-wise!

And besides, the need for bluetooth audio isn't that high when you have a powerfull speakerphone.

Hi All.
ok, I've had,
Nokia 1011
Nokia 2110 (x2)
Nokia 7110
Nokia 8110
Nokia 6110
Nokia 6210i
And now,
Sony Ericsson T68i
Along with this, I use Macintosh. The Nokia way has always made me think 'Apple Phone', due to clean interface and cool features. This is changing, though. Nokia seems to be inconsistent in features.
Why release phones that don't support SMS features of older phones?
Why support Bluetooth, but only half way?
Why not use Open Standards, like SyncML in contrast to Microsoft-like proprierty in-house protocols? I don't like to move at Nokia these days!
The T68i, old or not, makes my Mac sync with it, makes my Mac do dialing and SMS's from the computer, makes Bluetooth a Must Have feature, just like Airport is a Must Have for networking. It Just Works®.
So, you can argue about all the fancy gadget and 'schoolyard' features of the new models, it's if they integrate in your life that matters!

as soon as the P800 comes out... it will also be called a brick because of its size and shape...

If ever our T68i is getting "old fashioned", it's getting old gracefully. Don't you all think so? |

I love my t68i. But there is one close regarding featurewise. It is philips fisio820. It has got everything as t68i plus java and maybe polytones. But doesnot have wap 2.0 and cool design. But it costs only 1/3 of 68 price

Well it's upgrade time for me after 1 year of t68m/i and usually i know what phone i want at upgrade time but this year the only phone that remotely intrests me is the P800. That says something for the t68 imho. Im still proud of it and i think many othdr new phones would just end up a dissapointment after the t68. tbh ive not know a phone with such a long shelf life! Its more than good for a while yet! ;-)
