I think the T68m looks and feels way better than the "more advanced" T68i. Why?

- Rubber back with "engraved" Ericsson logo and blue "pearl"
- Nicer earpiece with slanted openings and engraved logo
- Earpiece flush with top of screen - better feel, easier to clean
- Nice chrome Yes/No buttons
- Nicer two-tone colors on case

Think SE just wanted to save money on the simpler T68i design?

if all you really wanted is the old look, you can have your t68i's casing replaced with the lunar grey.

speaking of casings, i read some months back the SE was putting out a black and red t68i for the asian market. what happened to it?

Its the rubberized back that wanted me to sell my t68i not only the color gray. I called up smartnet, semicon and even SE phil but they said there is no rubberized back in stock. If i was only after the gray color of course that can be done easily.

Agree with jnonhoffzieg!
T68i look so girlish and cheep!
And the old Ericsson logo also look much greater than the SE logo!

Only problem with the rubber back on the T68m is that it reduces the RF, so get lower signal.

I like the T68m but i prefer the blue led's
Also the SAR for the T68i is lower than T68's so that could compensate for the rubber back

The USA T68i's have some major issues. High failure rate in the areas that they have been released. Supposedly a software programming issue.
