I'd rather see the batary status and the receptionlevel and other status icons floating around in my screen instead of the clock. It would comsume the same amount of batary power, but you can see a lot more information about the phone then the time.
About the led, it is very handy, because you can see if you're still in range of your GSM provider, while it's blinking.

The phone beeps and flashes whenever you get an SMS or Call (You can even make it vibrate). Although, I would like the ability to change the SMS tone, but unfortunately that’s not possible. If the screensaver is on, it goes back to main screen and asks you if you want to read the SMS or view the Call list. If you don’t give the phone an answer within a certain time, it will go back to the clock screensaver.
If you can't handle pressing the joystick to switch back when the screensaver turns on again, then please, just get off this forum and go play with your cheap little Nokia vibrating feature in the bathroom.

@ Z___Z I totally agree with you, it would be better to have a battery power display rather than the clock screensaver. Actually, I have a better idea, the screen should flip to a monochromatic mode with the background off showing reception, power, and the clock.

there must be a software in your pc to solve all these problems, i'm really sure, or maybe in the software upgrade SE will make it better...

This missed calls and SMS thing is rather annoying I agree. Ability to switch the clock off would be nice and/or perhaps the clock screen could be adjust to display also missed calls and SMS status.
Screensaver feature is nice, but useless because it shows up only a few secs.

You have made quite a point, I agree with you that some of the functions of T68i you do not use therefore you might think it is not value for money.
Therefore I urge you do NOT buy T68i and buy some other phone which is for suit to your needs for it is a waste of money and time.
Seem like Nokia is the best choice for you. Should go check it out at
www.nokia.com for your handphone

Well you probably dont understand the issue here, let me try again.
The week I had the damn phone I misted like 4 smses and 2 important calls, just because I didnt push the damn joystick.
I felt like a slave of my phone, every 30mins I was away from the phone (yes, it happens. Maybe you take your phone in the bathroom, but I dont) I need to grab it, push te joystick, wait 2 seconds, and see. I dont know how you guys do it, but I just cant live with the fact I need to push it every 30 mins I get away from it. Especially when you expect an important call. And the major problem is, you cant always guess how long you left the phone alone, 30mins do pass quickly. So basicly I found myself ending up as a slave of my phone...
Maybe you actualy enjoy touching the phone ? well,I dont, I prefer to take a quick look at it so I can see any misted calls/smses . Thats only normal no ? You can compare it with your watch, how would you feel if every time you need to see the hour, you would need to press a button ? Would get really annoying if you ask me. Maybe not the first 3 days but afterwards...So I think SE screwed BIG TIME on this one ... the phone was perfect in every way...a great shame to screw such a phone like that.
I can understand people not bothering this problem, but thats most likely because they acctually NEED the features of this phone. If I needed like wap,gprs,bluetooth I would not have sold it probably...but I only use the phone to call/sms (wap is like stupid, and gprs is not available here) so I just could live with this issue...
And I also noticed many said; "wtf did you buy it if you dont need it features ?" well to all those people; please..PLEASE...mail me the brand/model of a phone that comes as close to the T68i on these aspects;
- style
- weigth
- lcd (the size I mean, at least as big as the T68i, dualtone is fine too)
- storage capacity (I do use it for ringtones/bg)
- voice dial / voice recorder
- size (not larger as the t68i)
- standby time
- price not > 600€
I'm pretty convinced there are currently NO models matching these parameters as good as the T68i , so THIS are the reasons I bougth it, not because of the features. There was no "less-featured-t68i" otherwise I took that one
to conclude;
I see the T68i as the best phone I have ever seen (for its price/options) but the display issue is just its major problem if you ask me. It shows that they're just not ready to use color displays (and also guaranty a up-time from lets say 7 days when you use it average) maybe they would made a hell of a deal by
a) creating 2 types, one with a color lcd and the other with a dual tone
b) think of another 'human' solution for the 'powerdrain' problem of the lcd, beside that all-messing-up-damn-clock-screensaver
but unfortunately none of these options where implemented.
My phone is sold, and I have no regret !
So to anyone reading this, be carefull before you buy it !!!
make sure the negative points I told here dont annoy you...
Greets,

Well, I have to agree on some of the display issues. The only thing I do not like about the phone is the short screensaver and the clock screensaver, as I said before, it would be better if it went to a monochromatic view of the main screen with the clock/reception/battery life/etc, with the background off, would have been much better. However, that doesn’t really bother me much, nor does anything on the phone, and I have been a Nokia user before, and I really disliked many models because of structural problems on many Nokia’s (You should see my GF’s phone, lol), and by the way, Nokia isn’t all that great either
As for my display, it is very bright, and I have checked it out with other T68’s being sold around in California, and it seems mine is a hell of a lot brighter for some reason (Luck I guess).
Also, I personally do not mind checking SMS messages by just touching the button, as I’m going to play with my phone anyways
and send messages back.
I'm sure SE will address these issues in the future, but if you feel like going for a Nokia, by all means go ahead, no ones forcing you to do anything
We just want to tell you've made a mistake!
