When I buy a new phone it is never from the same manufacturer than the one I just had. I want to see what kind of solutions individual phones have. It would be boring to always stick with the same brand faithfully.

Hi guys!
It's maybe not just the members here on Esato that thinks Ericsson T68 is a hell of a good phone! One of the biggest mobilephone retailer in Sweden (GEAB) just revealed their stats for February, and here they are:
1. Nokia 3310
2. Ericsson T68
3. Trium Mars
4. Nokia 3330
5. Nokia 6310
6. Ericsson T39
7. Nokia 8310
8. Ericsson T29
9. Ericsson T65
10. Nokia 5210
As you may see, this list is containing a lot of cheap phones. T68 is #2 just beaten by Nokia 3310, but that is A LOT cheaper phone! It's very unusual that such an expensive phone as the T68 is so high on the list. You can read the Swedish article about this list at

I honestly think that price-quality: 3310 (or 3330) is the BEST phone, it has cool functions, is EASY, has FAST T9, is cheap (117$ (122$ for 3330)) in Azerbaijan
and isn't THAT big or ugly...
I do think that when you buy a more expensive phone (like T68) you EXPECT more of it and when things like the snail-speed T9 is rubbish compared to ANY OTHER PHONE, then you start to compare. I think it's completely normal to compare, but I agree you don't have to start putting down EVERYTHING else...
Don't tell me that you guys don't compare a chick's details when looking at them

The only nokia phone I like is the 8850 because it looks awesome. But I prefer ericsson phones, guess it runs in the family.
And hell, no other phone even comes close to the t68.

the phone i owned before my T68 is a 3210..
flashback:
August 1999
i bought a 5110. it was what most people had here in the philippines. it was BASIC. i was only concerned for something that could send an SMS (since it's cheaper than a call)...
September 1999
i went to class, saw my classmate with the then-new 3210.
it had animations and stuff like picture messages..
i was awe-struck.
i sold my 5110 to my friend and bought a 3210 (a month after i had a brand new 5110).
January 2002
my 3210 broke down, and was useless (til i got it repaired)... and as i was in the repair shop to get my 3210 repaired, i saw a picture of a phone with a colored screen. it said
Ericsson T68. i was skeptic about it.
when i got home, i checked the homepage of sonyericsson and went on to TRY THE PHONE that same day.
it was then when the fashion-oriented became feature-oriented.
just sharing.

NeO > You're missing the point here, or You misunderstand what I'm trying to say :
"Why say something bad about other brands at all, when speaking about your T68".
Does it make people feel better, if they can say : "my phone is better, yours stink !"
Yes, the T-68 is a nice phone, and it might be the best,..but everybody knows that already, and still people keep on telling how bad other brands are.
I dont buy phones, so that I can tell everybody how bad their phones are.
I dont care what others think,..I didnt buy my phone to "show it of".

I have noticed that people seem to want to reinforce their opinion that buying a T68 was the right idea, and to prove that they disparage other phones. As if abuse of one thing makes the other better, and therefore they themselves are clever because they got the "top" phone. Some of these same people are now upset that the T68i has been announced, as it "seems" to make their phone out of date and second best (even though it is basically the same thing). Or they announce that the T68i is "ugly" so their phone is better.
I bought a T39, and must confess to a certain disappointment that I didn't wait until the T68 came out, but that is the way of the world. Everything you have now will be superseded eventually.
Finding out that Ericsson now make better phones than Nokia (feature for feature, at this moment in time), and then getting the good phone early makes people feel good. Exclusive even, and they try and emphasize that by pointing out what is "wrong" with Nokia's. I don't think it proves anything, other than how insecure some people are. IMHO

Andrew > thats exactly what I think too.
Also the part about being insecure,..so this gives someone a "kick".
I think that one should be critical, but also constructive, and look at different aspects,..not just the usual sentence :
"Mine is better, yours is worse".
I'm being critical too about products,..but I always explain "why" I dont fancy a product,..I never just say "mine is better", or "the other brand is worse".
I get so tired of hearing that sentence.
A few minutes ago I wrote almost the same thing as I do now.
In the "other manufacturers" forum there was a topic on Nokia 7650,..and "of course" the comment was made : "the p800 is better" or something like that.
Well, fact is :
1. we werent discussing the P800.
2. No one has really tried the P800 yet, so they wouldnt know if its better.
3. One doesnt need to compare everything,... things can stand alone.
