As I was reading in CNET, I found out that T68i differs from the T68 not only in cosmetics but in this feature, "the e911 feature". It's an emergency locator.

Here's the link:

It's written down the page.

My T68m has this emergency number feature, and 911 is listed as an emergency number, but we don't use 911 in Norway!

Ha! Even my old R520m, and my fathers T39m has this feature, so it is nothing new

no this is only meant for the US since the gov't just passed a new law that all cellphones must be equiped with 911 locator that will trace your exact location when you dial 911, it's not just a hardware requirement but the providers must support it as well since the signal it's intercepted from the providers tower.

Ok I have something to say.
Listen like the Nokia pnohes and the ericsson phones do that -when the the keylock is on you can call just the emergensy numbers like 911 and 112 right?
But with the T68 you can call the 911,112 and the 08.Try it.
What is the 08 for?Because if you can call it when the phone is lock thats means is something...But what?

This feature ain't only for the US!!
It's available here in Lebanon under the name: I-track offered by LibanCell, which costs 35$/month.
