...and I said that I agree with you about the luck of information in these stores!

I have not heard of any "new" T68 from my contacts in Ericsson, but there is a new version of the firmware available that implements MMS support and a few other things.
Whether they decide to rename the phone based on that I don't know, but it surely seems unlikely. The cost of new advertising materials, and assorted other required things would seem to cost more than it was worth.
Ericsson has never done this in the past with new Firmware, even when new functionality was introduced (such as the POP Email client on the R520).

A ORKA are saying,..its all more or less different rumours.
NO One can say these things for sure.
NO One can confirm anything.
its always : "I've heard from a friends friend inside .........."
I agree with you Orka. A lot of these sorts of posts should be in the rumours-section.
And yes, we've discussed the "letters" in the T-68 a million times,..why keep on doing it,..when no one can confirm anything anyway.

ok...sorry for not being very clear before....here is more info: The Ericsson T68 will soon have another feature added to its already-formidable arsenal--Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS).
A Sony Ericsson Singapore official revealed to CNETAsia that the widely anticipated MMS software upgrade for the T68 will arrive in March. The upgraded version, called the T68i, could turn existing T68 handsets into the first MMS-capable phones in Singapore. The mobile already sports a color display, triple band technology, General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) and Bluetooth.
MMS, a standard evolved from SMS (Short Messaging Service) and EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service), allows formatted text, images, audio and video clips to be exchanged between compatible handsets.
When first announced, the T68 was intended to be MMS-capable but the feature was withdrawn prior to its late 2001 release. This was due in part to a lack of network support then, said the spokesperson.
This time, he believes M1, SingTel and StarHub will be ready soon for MMS roll-outs.
"We are currently working closely with the network operators in testing MMS and the applications," he said. "We expect the service to be ready by Q2 2002."
The upgrade will add several other enhancements, including some that leverage on the phone's 256-color LCD. For instance, there will be an image browser for viewing JPEG, GIF and WBMP files. Users can also attach the Ericsson CommuniCam camera accessory, which is currently available, and use the T68i's screen as a viewfinder.
Another significant improvement is the addition of User Memory. With this feature, various forms of user data, such as downloaded emails, background pictures and ringtones, will make use of the same memory space. Therefore, when a user has fewer downloaded emails, he can store more background pictures in the phone.
The upgrade will also allow much of the phone data, such as voice memo and user notes, to be sent to other devices via infrared, Bluetooth or MMS.
At press time, Sony Ericsson was unable to confirm the price of the upgrading, which will be available at the company's service centers and service points.
I love you guys..heeheh.....you're so funny..and this site and all the people in it are great....god save the queen..and may the queen save my t68m from being considerated 'old' by a t68i....
eheheh

Von Space : You're reading to fast,..read this part from the post again :
------------------------------------
"software upgrade for the T68 will arrive in March. The upgraded version, called the T68i, could turn existing T68 handsets into the first MMS-capable phones in Singapore."
------------------------------------
READ THIS PART: "could turn EXISTING T68 handsets into the first MMS-............."
Meaning that the "i" is just the software, not the phone itself.
They're talking about turning OUR (the existing) handsets into the first mms-handsets.
It actually says pretty clearly, doesnt it

I think we've talked about this many times in this forum.
Any way, last week when I got my phone upgraded to R2B, I talked with a Venezuelan Sonyericsson Representative (he works at SE) and he told me that the T68i is the phone that will have the MMS software installed from Factory. No new HARDWARE, at all, Just MMS software factory installed. Maybe it will have the Sonyericsson logo instead the Ericsson Logo, and will say T68i at the bottom instead T68.
The hardware (Memory, Procesor, Buttons, Screen,etc) all is the same that the actual T68.
at this visit to the SE representative I was able to see and use the T66 & T65 phones. Also the T60d.

Npalamidis : Yes we have discussed this before, and even the same article,..and I said the same last time
The "i" is only the software,..people tend to read to fast
And the only difference will be a cover saying T68i and Sonyericsson instead of Ericsson,..nothing else, hehe.

Man, even if ALL these rumours are true, will we be able to get them any faster by writing them down here?
I think probably in the future, you'll be able to change the colour of your T68...and if you can't, then you just wait for your year's warranty to expire and then you can paint it or do whatever you want
There will ALWAYS be a better phone coming out sooner or later, at the moment we all have the BEST phone in the world! BE HAPPY ABOUT IT!!!!!
Now stop complaining and enjoy your T68a,b,c,d,.... or whatever other symbol you want to put behind it....
