I was wondering about those Bluetooth problems... Since the hardware version of many phones here are the same and some work, some not, should I think that it's a issue with mine computer COM ports? Could you tell me how your COM ports are configured?
Thank You,
Julio

Guys,
i'm going to flash my T68m to a T68i i've ogt all the gear (Flash cable, files etc), the flash files i got where the ones hosted on pocketbuddy (R5C001, page 6 of this thread).
The harware version on my phone is R1B, is it likely my bluetooth will stop working if i flash it?
Thanks

I just can't understand one thing:
if you flash by yourself you have to pay for a credit, you have waste your time (reading all this information, seeking the cable, then flashing itself etc.), you have to have to be on your own responsibility.
Is it really worth all that. This flashing could cost you a lot of money.
In my country if you bought fone from your SP, flashing doesn't cost at all. Even if waranty is over. In other case you have to pay ~5-10 Euro with no risk.
For instance if we would talk about Siemens then you don't have to pay money for a credit or something, you don't have to seek for cable (it's included), you can get original siemens flashing software in internet withuot paying money. I flashed my previous phone Siemens, but I can't understand what or who can make my flash my t68 by myself.
I also don't see reasons. I have r2e and I satisfied with it. It's fast enough, I don't have any problems with GPRS or bluetooth, a have all services I need.
Do r5d have JAVA? I believe not! So can find no sence of flashing, especially flashing by myself

It is worth to flash yourself!!! I do not trust to give me phone to someone I do not know to flash it unless it is an authorized dealer. Here in the USA, we do not get the privilige of gettting upgrades.
Since I learned how to do it, if I need to upgrade my phone in the future, I will have no problems doing it myself. Its a risk, but who wants to have an outdated phone right?

In Lithuania we don't have problems with upgrading our mobiles.
I can go to my SP every month:) But is it really necessary?
I tried r5c and I haven't found any real difference in speed comparing with my r2e. I also haven't found any new functions. So I decided not to upgrade.
After upgrading Siemens you don't need to adjust it. I upgraded my Siemens every time I found a new version withuot paying atention whether it had new functions.
After upgrading SE the adjustment of my phone used to take the whole day, i.e. adress book, GPRS connection, WAP, e-mail, mms, ringertones, themes etc. etc.
So I'd better wait for a real visible upgrade, and I will go to my SP because I trust him;)

Alot of us here in the USA are stuck with the T68m phones which have very old firmware. SonyEricsson refuses to upgrade the phones and the only option left is to go out of the country to do it or to do it yourself.
I agree that if you have a T68i already don't bother upgrading because only minor improvements are visible. However, if you have a T68m, ugrading to a T68i is crucial to some of us!

So the bottom line is: it is definately worth to upgrade your m to i here, because of all the features you get, however it might be too much of a worthless risk to go from say r2e to r5c, i have r2e and it is all good, but i still want to have the latest, thus i still haven't decided if i want to subject my phone to a potential death, just for the sake of having the latest... us se sucks on this...
anyway, so does anyone have the non ie r5d file with a fixed bt problem?????? thanx

I've read through all the posts, and all is well and good, but I am still confused about the software version to convert to and bluetooth compatability. I would like a version with English and SPanish, and I want to make sure that the BT still works. Will the flash file from
http://www.pocketbuddy.com/files/SE/T68i-R5C001.zip
work for me?
Many thanks.
