Hi all,
As mentioned in the conclusion of the poll "Do you like T610 design?" thread, a lot of people are dissappointed with the phone because it does not carry the "curves" of the T68/i.
I stage very strongly that the T68/i should be in the Ericsson/SE hall of fame. Let's face it, in features and design, it is really a mind-blower of its time. It is so good that many consider its successor not worthy enough to replace it.
What do you guys think.
I think the other phone tha deserves to be in the HOF (Hall of Fame) is the R520. Though I never own the phone, all the reviews and magazines that I read about it gave it a rock solid rating. At that time, the design/form factor was also very appealing.
Anyone? |

I nominate the Ericcson 388.
The toughest sonofab*tch that was ever built.
SE also stands for Superior Equipment.

I say R520 and T68 for being most innovative phones of their time. T66 for being the first super-small featherweight phone.

I say the R520. The T68i is a great phone, but is still being sold, so i don't think it should get HOF status until it's discontinued.

NOT FAIR!!!  Everyone here gave the reason "innovative for its time" ... but EVERY high-end Ericsson phone was innovative for its time.
The GF 788 was the smallest GSM phone at the time...it was the first "tiny" GSM phone at that time.
The T28 was Ericsson's first 3v phone... it sported the first Li-Pol battery ever on a commercial release phone. I think it still holds the record for the thinnest commercial GSM phone at 15mm.
The R380 was the first hand-sized "smartphone" that doubled as a PDA.
The T39 was the first "tiny" GSM phone that had it all..GPRS, tri-band, Bluetooth, voice dialling/memo, Li-Pol battery, incredible standby time, IR, E-mail, WAP, SMS, EMS, grayscale screen, PIM w/ full calendar functions, and the famous "Magic Word"
The R520 had all of the above PLUS a full duplex speakerphone, proximity sensor (a first, which Nokia now has on their 7650) and... just a little trivia for all R520 owners... did you notice that the IR 'eye' flows seamlessly into the rest of the body? This is because the entire side of the body shell is moulded out of the IR plastic. That's why you don't feel any lines around the 'eye'
Both the T39 and R520 had optional one-month batteries (although I was only able to get my R520 to hit 3 weeks and 2 days ) and were the first camera enabled GSM phones on the market
The T68i was the first successful colorscreen GSM phone that introduced the joy-stick navigation system, Bluetooth, IR, tri-band, GPRS, email, WAP, MMS, EMS, SMS, IMY/EMY ringtones, Li-Pol, full PIM sync with Outlook...and popularized the Communicam.
The P800 is well... everything ever developed for GSM crammed into one device.
....anyway... back to the topic... if based purely on PHYSICAL DESIGN (not features) ... I'd have to say the T28. Feature-wise... I'd have to say the P800. All-around, design & features... the T68. |
