Ericsson T68

Upon its release in 2001, the Ericsson T68 was the most advanced mobile phone available in Europe. With its colour screen, Bluetooth, joystick navigation and relatively small size (similar to that of the Nokia 8210), it was quite literally a revolution. There were other phones which matched it size, and naturally phones which had a number of its features, but none of them encompassed the size of the T68 with its amazing feature set. Initially little more than a toy for extremely wealthy businessmen and gadget enthusiasts, these days a T68 can be had for about £25 on Ebay. Many, such as the one I owned for a time last year, have experienced the software upgrade to T68i ...  Read the complete review

The Ericsson T68! As any gadget fans out there will know , it’s probably the most anticipated phone this year due mainly to its main selling point of a full colour screen. I mean that’s what took me in too! Siemens have previously tried to do it a few years ago but their model was ill-fated and no one bought it. Even to this day some still might say what the hell we need a colour screen on our mobiles for? Well my friends, a few years ago you didn’t but with the emergence of WAP (or CWAP, Complete Waste of A Protocol as I like to call it), GPRS and the new EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service) as well as downloadable graphics, the mobile phone ...  Read the complete review

I bought my T68 over a year ago. Last month, my contract came up for renewal, and as I usually use this as an opportunity to get the latest phone with the latest features, I bought a Nokia 7650. And sold it unopened. For the simple fact is that, for me, the T68(i) is still the best phone out there. Rather than go through all the features, which everyone has done to death by now, let me add some general opinions. Firstly: support. When SE released the free upgrade from T68 to T68i, this was effectively an obligation, since they'd sold the phone based on MMS functionality, and it needed the upgrade to enable this. However, they also ...  Read the complete review

I have owned an Ericsson T68 since January 2002, and would thoroughly recommend one. My previous mobile phones down the years have looked obselete and grubby after no more than 2 or 3 months? the T68 however, still manages to impress people. I think this may be due to the relatively small number of them in circulation. It took me weeks to order and finally receive delivery of my shiny handset in January (demand was far outstripping UK supply). Most mobile phone users go for the run of the mill Nokia handsets which I detest! You stop any 15-20 year old and ask them what make of phone they own, 90% will say a Nokia blah blah blah. No, I don?t have anything against Nokia ...  Read the complete review

~ Overview ~ It was time for me to upgrade my mobile phone as I now had my old nokia for over two years. The phone was still in very good condition, but the final straw was when I was down the pub answering a call and I suddenly noticed that some people on the opposite table were looking at me as if I was a little odd, i guess that it was because my phone looked like a house brick compared to theirs, I hope that was the reason! So as many others I went on the crusade to find the perfect phone, oh boy there are so many to choose from, but after several weeks of looking in shops and browsing the web, I finally opted for the Sony-Ericsson T68i. ~ ...  Read the complete review
