I talked to Dani ! (Sony Ericsson Israel )
Only in few montes, (after the government will approve BT is legal), they will have a newer firmware version for the t68i which will enable BT back. As so - The T68I wich has an old version is BT enabled anyway. So its only us who has the newest firmware version for now, are stucked in the middle....

OK - I am going to sell mine and get the new Nokia.
They did change the firmaware in order to get license to sell the model in Israel.
Spread the word - Ericsson are disabling the BT functionality on the terminal for Israeli sim cards - there is no reason to buy Ericsson in Israel !!
I am switching to the new Nokia and going to recommend everybody in Israel to keep away from Ericsson. (there is no way this people are going to learn how to give decent value for money ever)
As I understand the headset is working fine with other phones.
So I will loose on the Ericsson mistake about 300$ - it is expensive lesson - but expensive lessons are not forgotten easily.
Till next time - Buy Nokia !!

A few answers, I bought my t68i in the US a few months ago, the firmware is R2A014. I have traveled to Israel many times and used a sim card of Orange (partner) my bluetooth works fine. I have spoke with Danny from SE Israel and if the software is upgraded (the only reason you would want to upgrade now is to get hebrew on it) than bluetooth is disabled the moment a sim card is put in to the phone, so for those who were wondering this is a FIRMWARE issue. What is interesting that if you have a t68m and take it to Danny who will upgrade it to t68i it doesn't lose the bluetooth... in my opinion it will be many months (at least till January) before they put a newer firmware out that does not disable the bluetooth. Therefore you can either sell the phone, wait or downgrade your version to R2A014... if you like I could send you the firmware bin file and you can downgrade it yourself with the Ericsson unlock utiltity.
PM me.

Kaaspad- I bought mine in London UK. the version is the last one. I have no hebrew either.
Rokoko - Me too ! Im selling my ericsson, I want nothing to do with them.
they made it to get a license to sell in Israel, and screwed us !
I switched my t68i with a guy who had t68, so blue tooth is enabked now. ( and had to add him some money to convince him that Im not taking advantage of him). anyway I will sell it.
I think I'll get me a new model of Motorola, with a flip, BT, colors screen, and polyphonic rings. (which I guess will mean built in Hands Free).
And by the way - Sony had the Z700 which had it all, but canceld the production !!! (!!!!) I think because of a threat from Ericsson about cancelling the partnership.
