1) The volume button doesn't rattle anymore.
2) The keypad has an orange backlight.
3) The sticker on the inside is labelled Sonyericsson, I pretty sure it just said Ericsson before.

Also the normal way of accessing the service test doesn't work, does anyone know how I can access the firmware version??? I don't have a clue of what version I now have and would like to find out.

And the T68 has never been produced with green LEDs, you need to get your eyes testing or something

I don’t know why people can’t just accept what people have to say. I don’t need to get my eyes tested the keypad was a different colour. Have you seen every single T68 ever produced? Well shut the f*** up then.

Someone involved in the design of this phone called it "lemon yellow".

And regarding the different backlight, I think that the light was enhanced in later hardware versions of the T68m. I saw this when I did a side-by-side comparison with several hardware versions of the T68m, that all had the same firmware. Unfortunately I didn't make a note of in which version the light was changed.

By the way, you can see what version (revision) of the hardware you have, by looking at the row with the product number that is printed on the label under the battery. I'm not sure, but I think that all T68m's, at least those with an "Ericsson label" (not "Sony-Ericsson"), have the product number "KRC 114 1290". Next to this number, you'll find the revision state, e.g. "R1B" or "R2A". (The later is newer).

The product number for T68m is CDA 102 058/1. There is also another id number next to the model name, for example 2516/46...

Don't worry, we believe you! If you take a look at the T68m here, then you'll see the difference between some T68m models....
