Yes it has bluetooth, but the phone was released over a year after the T68, and has nothing extra added to it. I am a bit temped as I am on my 5th T68 now, this one seems to be fine, but the lights on the numbers are dim, is annoying me.
I don't know whether to get another one again, or go for a S55, or get a refund and use my old 6210 untill some new fones come out....

I said in this forum something like 13 month ago : "as soon as Siemens had a tri-band color phone, I’ll throw away my T68..."
And it’s exactly what I did 2 weeks ago…
!!
Now, I own a superb Siemens S55, and this phone is unbelievable
It has everything the T68 has, plus a lot of other features like :
- Java
- Polyphonic ringtones
- The possibility to remove the bloody "operator name" (now I see very well my background…!!!)
- 16 fields into the contact (like street, city, zip… and a lot more)
- Notes (like in Outlook…)
- Hand-free speaker...
And Bluetooth is working a lot easier than the T68… / syncing with Outlook is working really fine… / A cable to connect the phone and a PC is included in the box… / The camera has a flash, and it’s quite useful…
Ok, it has 256 colors only… but I don’t really care, because as the phone accept .bmp images, the result on the screen is a lot better than in the T68…
The only very small thing I miss from my Ex-T68… is the "battery remaining time" when you press down the volume slider…!!!

What is the build quality like?
I find the quality on the T68's to be fairly high, some of them do creak in certain places, such as around the screen tho.
an S55 in the UK is about £10-£20 lower than a T68i, so I could easily take my T68 back and buy one, only bought a T68m on friday, but I can get the extra £100 if I decide on the S55.
This is my 6th T68m/i now in two weeks, all have had different faults, perhaps it is just me. The one I have now seems fine, but the keylights seem very dim in comparison to my previous Lunar Gray, I have a Ziroccan Gold now
Thanx

Some important questions...
Can you change the ringtone for SMS messages?
What does the phone do for a screensaver? (Does it have a white on black clock like the T68?)
Can you send (either via IR or BT) Java applets to it yourself or is it only possible to get them via download from a wap page?
Are they games on there anygood?
I'll probably think of some more later
Thank you in advance for your reply as I might consider getting this phone

Waouu… that’s a lot of questions…
1. Yes, you can change the SMS ringtone (any polyphonic or “standard”…) and you can also adjust the volume.
2. When I receive the phone, an “on animation”, an “off animation”, an “operator logo” and a “screensaver” were already put into the phone by “Swisscom” (the Swiss operator I’m using…) however it’s very easy to replace it…! You also have the choice to use the Siemens analogue clock in black and white AND, if so, you’ll have a small symbol showing any missed call, SMS, MMS, alarm…
3. I didn’t test the Java application… but I suppose you can, because you have in the box a small CD Rom with an application exactly like Windows Explorer, and you can add, move or delete whatever you want (with Bluetooth, IR or cable…) into any folder of the memory. BTW, into the Java folder, I have some .jad and .jar …!
4. About the game, you’ll find just one Java game… called “Magic Picture” and I didn’t find it really interesting…
One more thing about this phone : if you look at the comparison between the T68 and the S55, you’ll find first that the S55 is not a tri-band, but it is !! Then it doesn’t have voice call and voice memory but that’s wrong ! It does have both…
About the memory, it’s the same as the T68… about 1 Mb…

At least you dont have to unlock the keypad to check if you have any messages or missed calls.
I have just ordered a datacable and ict-14 from SE for me fone, will have to faf around with them to get a refund on the products, which will be a mess, lol.
I am a bit tempted about the S55, but I have had 5 c35's, 2 M35's and 3 S35's and they were all crap. They all had a weak feeling to them, and had buggy firmware on all handsets, and developed faults too quick, within weeks for most of them
I really like the T68m, but the S55 does have some handy extras that make me tempted, like knowing about calls when in idle mode etc
