I was going to purchase a T68 a month ago until I found this forum. After reading so many messages about this new phone I decided I would wait for the latest model. It seems that here in Hong Kong they received a shipment from Indonesia last night and only a few stores have them. I went to Mong Kok where they have about 20 mobile phone stores all in one small mall. I bought one for HK $3,000 which is about US $385. I only was able to use it for a few hours and the manual is not in english. I will let everyone know how it is after a few days.

The unit only came with software and the charger. The store switched the charger so that I could use it in the states. The software version is R2A. I will have my first full day with it today.

I'm guessing the price will drop when the stores have actual 'stocks' that don't disappear the first day...
I also think the European ones are made in Sweden, while the ones in Asia are made in Malaysia... costs are probably cheaper for them to make there
