I was looking through the current  line-up, and couldn't help but notice they all look incredibly similar and quite bland.
It just got me thinking, remember the T68i? That was, and still is a beautiful phone, and if it had the features I'd be using one today.
Why can't make phones like this any more? |

currently have the greatest diversity of products and form factors that they have ever had so I'm not sure how you can say they all look the same.
The line up will shortly include the first slider too!
T68 was a great phone in its day and I still have a T68 and T68i in my collection as I share the same "affection"

I'm going to have to agree with Sprinkles on this one. If it wasn't for my absolute love of the t610 form factor and overall functionality I don't think I would of held out long enough for something like the W810 to come along. I do love my phone and realize it is a little conservative looking compared to most newer handsets but I absolutely think the rest of the lineup all look boring and certainly behind the bunch when it comes to beautiful slim and backlit ominous blue keypads. I would love a super flat T68 design with a W810 mentality and smooth razorlike keys. |

seems like the t610 design is s favourite, cos almost every se model is based on that design. however i like squared fones, w810 was also a nice design.

I do remember a thread very similar to this one.
But I really liked the era of phones with the T610/T630/K700 with hints of flashiness. All had looks which were business, but also youthful and appealing to women.
Now we have the K750/K610/W800 era, with a rectangular block of keys. Practical and very business-like, but not as nice to look at IMO. I'd agree with the fact that SE is re-using their designs, but it is a good design practically with large keys and proportionate layout.
I'd like to see some more 'funky' designs like the T630 again.

I agree . . . with the T68m, that's why I've decided to get me (2), and dressed it up to look new !
