I'm a longtime Nokia user (blasphemy?) from the old 3210 to my current phone which is the 6310i. But since I saw the T68, I've been itching to have one.. almost to the point of obssession. I just want to know if the transition from Nokia to Ericsson would be hard, I've had an R380 b4 and it sucked. Would the T68 be a great buy? What I've been offered is a brand new T68 Gold which has been upgraded to T68i (is that ok?) Any help would be appreciated. Thank you and good day!

I have a gold t68m with the i software, my only regret is that i didnt buy it sooner.... Honestly, he you are not happy with it you can always sell, they hold their price, not suprisingly you will find most t68 owners were nokia users. My first step away from nokia was the fantastic siemens sl45i... Both phones are miles better than nokia offerings... And he you are thinking what about the 7650? Well you need a cd player case to carry it. My only grievance is that the t68i cam is expensive... This post was posted from a T68i

nookiehunter,


the menus of the t68 and t68i are definitely more "nokia-like" than previous ericsson phones. it should not take you long at all to adjust. the only thing that might take some for you would be texting. compared to a nokia, the response time of an ericsson phone for text inputs can be painfully slow. this can be frustrating for someone who sends a lot of text. this one complaint aside, the t68 is really a very very good phone.

You wont regret it! So much better, the SE interface will take a little getting used to but only a little and all the features you will have on your T68 will be well worth it! I've had Nokias in the past but the T68 wins for me hands down! Ed This post was posted from a T68i

I myself would like to get a T68 too, but I don't think I'm ready to give up my T39m yet. This post was posted from a T39

i've been a nokia user for ages, firstly i started off with the Ericsson ph337, Ericsson ph768, then to nokia 6150, 3210, 3310, 3330, 8210, 8850 then my last nokia was the 8310. NOW I have the Ericsson t68i and i love it, it was worth the wait....

i belive nokia is old of date......... they need to catch up with SE.

Changing from a nokia, the features i miss on the nokia have to be the sms predictive text. Nokia is still the best in this i have to say and the text message alert tone..... you can hardly hear it on the T68 and the T9 is also not very good, unless for have the RE software.

The colour screen on the T68 is also a bit of a disapointment only being 256 colour. At the moment i belive the nokia 7650 has a advantage here, but the size on the 7650 is very disapointing.

Overall i am happy with my t68i and i wouldn't even consider going for a Nokia, unless i get the 8910 cheep , then i'll keep both, but i will upgrade my phone to the SE P800, thats going to be the mother of all phones.....

I've been t68 user for 4 months now. I think t68 is too slow and I dislike the plasticy keyboard it has. Especially Yes and No buttons are bad in t68. I tend to use my Nokia 3210 more, because it's simply a lot more usable as a phone. 3210's keyboard is so nice and the phone is really fast, compared to t68. Good points in t68 is long standby and talk time, size, weight, 3-band and bluetooth. The color screen is pretty bad, some greens look more like brown and some shades simply don't exist at all. If I could redecide, I'd buy for example 6310 instead now.
