What do people expectof Ericcson? Be at the cutting edge with regular upgrades or just release every year so as not to offend past purchasers. You can't have it both ways.
The free sw upgrades are a bonus that I never expected anyway..

I don’t know why everyone is assuming that the T68i has more memory. Personally I think it would be suicide for a company to release two very similar phones with different hardware, it doesn’t make sense financially.
At the end of the day, your not going to know how much memory your T68 has until we get the firmware upgrade with the memory management stuff. Until then I don’t see the point of debating it.
Give Ericsson some credit before jumping the gun!

So why do you even think they bother to make the new phone?

Its been stated by Sonyericsson that the mms-software we get is called R1A.
Not R3A or anything like that.
The software should be exactly the same as the one in T68i.
Personally I think its very bad marketing by Sonyericsson, IF they release this new improved phone now.
It would be ok to release it in, let say, 6-7 months,..but not now.
People just bought a beautiful T68m, paid a lot of money for it,..so I hope that
will wait.
A very good example of this "face-lifting" is the car-industri,..one company did these small "face-lifts" almost every 3-6 months, and people got furious about it,..and their sales dropped.
Another thing is "pricing",..what happens when a new model hits the street ?
RIGHT,..the old one drops in price.
I have to admit, that I dont like the T68i, the design is just not right, looks boring/dull,..no curves anymore.
I dont fancy an off-white phone, and the blue-metallic looks cheap.
Looks like a plastic-phone to me,..it simply doesnt have the style of the T-68m.
Thats my opinion.
I'll get the mms-upgrade when it arrives, and I'll keep my T-68m,..and I bet that I can live with maybe a smaller memory, hehe.

I haven't gone trough all the posts here, but the SonyEricsson T68 you were watching is exactly the same T68 as the ones you have in your pockets. It will be shipped with the MMS Software, but apart from that and the blue leds it's just the same phone as our T68 phones!

Merkur > I can follow You in this, and I agree with you
But still, I cant see the point in this "new model" ?
Especially if they intend to release it now.
It would be like suicide, as written ealier.
T68M sells really well, and is very popular, and its only 3-4 months old.
Assuming that they are exactly the same, the only reason then for releasing a new model, would be that Sony wants their nametag (and design) on the phone.
The only thing I'm trying to "figure out" is "WHY".
BART wrote, that the i-model had more memory, and the same software as our T-68 once upgraded to mms.
Funny thing though,..it was said earlier, that the T-68 would never have the Sonyericsson nametag,..hmmm.

Well. They can't be the same, Ericsson can't be that stupid. It'll bee financially suicide. But, consider Ericsson-company reading in this forum too. I think we've given them a lot of tips.
If the T68i is exactly the same as T68. And the T68 will be the same as the T68i, when the upgrade is finished; the T68 needs more memory to contain e.q. all the background images.
Anyway. Who did say that the T68i comes with more memory and for all we now, the T68 we have now, have enough memory for the upgrade later.
