In my country the price between two only slightly different, about US$ 12-15.

But after I read the review on GSM BOX that reveal that 68i has more bigger bandwith for GPRS then I think the difference is reasonable, and since it GPRS then I think it can be managed by software only.

Here in the UK the price for a lunar T68m is £334.88, and the price for a T68i is £468.83. This was from http://www.expansys.com this afternoon. Quite a big difference here, but I haven't checked other websites yet to see if this is the going price for the new one. I saw a T68i on ebay the other day for £375. Bit of a bargain considering expansys's price's

I think it has alot to do with the place selling the phone. I was not to keen on the T68i after seeing pictures of it on the Net, but I was passing through Frankfurt airport at the weekend and I saw it in the flesh ... wow, is what I thought, but then I saw the price 799 Euros (sorry but no Euro symbol on this keyboard) ... so that took away the wow, also the same place was selling the mca-20 for 325 Euros. I was inside in Frankfurt yesterday, did a bit of searching, one place had it for 699 Euros so I kept looking, found another place that was selling it for 599 Euro, so I bought it ... damn manual is in German, so I downloaded an English version, will have to wait till this evening till I can really play with it !!
