Software often has updates or patches, why print hundreds of disks only to have to reach hundreds with an update from a support site. Why bother even making the disks for the many that don't even use them.
Why cables when Bluetooth and IR are cable-less. It all costs something and if the other vendors include it in their box than they probably need it to increase the value of their package...(or product)
not everyone has an IR adapter u know

Gustav,
I hardly think Ericsson are going to release a mobile phone which won't make them any profit.
Not exactly a great business plan is it?

All things sold are sold with loss until a certain number of units have been sold, due to the development cost. When tha development cost has been gained, the price of the product is reduced and this is the reason that products get cheaper with time...
The T68 is probably cheaper to produce than what it is sold for, unless they are trying to price themselves to market shares...
...which of course could be a strategy for
with the T68!
By the way, pricing for market shares is the reason behind Ericsson huge losses in mobile phones during the last years. For 2001 their losses are probably about 4 billion dollars!!!
