Hello All

Just a quick one - have been playing with the T68i for the last 30 mins and have noticed a BIG difference in the build quality with the T68i. For example :

- battery fits MUCH more smugly ( no flex on it )
- volume slider is not loose
- button feel much firmer
- casing feels a lot more solid

I have had 5 T68 phones now ( 4 broke, and the 5th is the one I am using ) so I think that is enough experience to be able to say this - of course, I have not had the T68i for any period of time yet, but the solidity of this new model is really impressive

Of course, I would be happy to get an upgrade for my T68, but it's not out yet - or is it ? There are various reports of people getting the phone done, but the consensus I have heard for the UK is that it has been withdrawn and held on EMMA for the moment ( with SE promising sometime between week 21 and week 26 ! )

This evening, I am off to configure the T68i for MMS, ( albeit using Telenor settings ) because I want to see how it all fits together

Anyone else have any thoughts on the build quality issue ?

Ben

volume slider will get looser if you use it fairly much
though it didnt turn out as negative to me cause i though
it was to firm at the begining.
