Well, I was a Nokia-only phone user for years, had always been happy with them, the day my 8850 had the defective lcd screen issue the phone was first exchanged under warranty, which made me the happiest nokia-owner ever! But one year after that the problem happened again and they were asking me like 120 euros to fix it! Come on! The phone was out for more than 2 years and they didn't even manage to fix the problem and they're charging they fellow customer for it! From that day on I'm don't want to deal with that sort of people, it's a lack of professionalism and marketing we can't accept from these big companies!
I have my T68 (now upgraded to T68i soft), and that's definitely the best phone I have ever had! The calendar thing is great, the phone acts like a real PDA, offers you direct email access, you can actually carry your entire desktop with you which is really all I need!
As a previous nokia user, the only flaw I can report and that still bothers me (but it gets better and better after every soft update...) is the sms and T9 typing, speed and general handling.
And it's all about simple things that makes it great, like the ability to browse through your phonebook or you calendar while your speaking on the phone with someone, or being able to record the conversation if you don't have a pen to write down all the info the caller gives you (and not just 10 sec of it, for like 10 minutes if you want to!), the voice control through the bluetooth which allows you to be actually handsfree, the phone autonomy which is really excellent even compared to other regular phones (I mean b/w screens...).
And last but not least, just put the phone right next to 8310, a SL45 or whatever phone (even a 89x0) it simply beautiful, bright and colorful. The menus are clear and simple!
I bought it because it was the best looking phone at the time, but i definetely didn't it was really all I could ever except from a mobile device!
Just buy it, it's great!

Do u think the price of the T68i will drop at the end of this year when the P800 and T300 are launched ? Maybe we T68i wannabe' buyers 'ought to wait just a month or two ?

T68 is definitely a very good phone and has been acclaimed as such widely. It's about 1 year old though, and some tough competitors are coming quickly, but it's the most feature-packed small-sized phone on the market today. Though, I would expect SE to replace its T68i in a few months time. Buying it now full-price might not be the wisest investment
Now, it depends on what you really need.... The choice is yours.

The T300 will be the entry-level color mobile for SE so it
will not influence the price of the T68i all that much IMHO
I have by the way had my grey T68 since october, and despite some bad luck when it comes to hardware (I have had two devices going dead, as in BRICK-dead, ex-t68, gone to the great manufactoring line in the sky! I have to use my own 6150 right now while waiting for a replacement phone
)
Despite these problems I would buy the T68 again today, it is just uncomparable to the other devices. The functionality, features, design and ergonomics is simply so much better!

I don't believe it, Super G actually likes the T68! I thought you only had eyes for Nokia
Just kidding, I know Super G is at least a little bit objective, and there are plenty of rabid sony ericsson fans in this forum.
I would have to say it all depends on the price you are paying for the T68, they are about 9 months old now and a lot of contracts will give you a free T68 for a 12 month contract in the UK. So I wouldn't pay too much for it, but it is a great phone.

Wassup? I too like most people have been a Nokia user since forever. I started with a 3810 then moved in this order: 5110, 6110, 8210. In all honesty, nothing beats Nokia when it comes to texting. Whether you use t9 or not, it's the absolute fastest and easiest to use. That's why I went for it instead of opting for feature rich ericssons and siemens. Then came the t68/t68i. I couldn't help but look at this beauty. Amazingly sexy design and a color screen to boot! A look at the features and nothing on the market could come close at all. The 7650 wasnt even an option since I felt this was just a big paperweight. I took the plunge and finally got me one last week. Every since then I have no regrets whatsoever. Texting is a tad slower but very manageable. Sorry for the long story but I guess my advice would be this: If you desire the absolute best fone available and want to be on the cutting-edge of technology, the T68i is for you. If you're a casual user who simply texts and calls, stick with Nokia.

i would personally not go for a t68 with upgraded soft, as there are alot of bugs in these, best thing would be to go for the t68i.
