Sony Ericsson T68i

...as being compatible with the Sony CommuniCam (camera attachment). The T68i is the smallest phone I have owned to date. I will list the exact dimensions below but let’s just say for now that it fits snugly into the palm of my hand. It has the standard keypad layout with the addition of an ‘options’ key and a ‘joystick’. The options key is for a quick link to specific menu options (such as silent and keylock) and the joystick is for navigating your ...
...book profile – Thank you Sony Ericsson!! You have finally acknowledged the fact that people have about 3 numbers for each person in their phone book! You are able to enter a Home, Work, and Mobile number for each individual in your phone book rather than creating various different entries for the same person. It is not a major function but I certainly found it more convenient.  Volume key – This is the little sliding key on the top left ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T68i

...now the owner of a Sony Ericsson mobile phone which I bought on www.needamobile.co.uk. I was a little unsure which category to post in as I actually have the T68 model, which has had its software upgraded by Ericsson to the latest T68i spec. I have decided to post as a T68i as my phone has different feature to the T68. The difference between the phones are minor, as the insides are the same. It’s basically the software on the T68, which is prone ...
...your phone along to a Sony Ericsson service centre and they should upgrade it for you free of charge. Sony Ericsson admits that the old phone was full of bugs and this is why they don’t charge you. Saying that some service centres do charge up to £25 for this, so its worth ringing before travelling, to find out cost and how long it will take. Costs ****** Handsets only are still over £270 for the T68i model and about £30 less for the T68 which ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T68i

...bought the cable of the Sony Ericsson website - sonyericsson.com. The cable came with XNTD PC Connect software. This is a great feature. You connect the phone and then can choose to synchronise your calendar, contacts and tasks. It is good to know that you have all your contacts' details stored in two places. If you are out and about you can check your diary on the phone. It is easy to type appointments into Outlook than on the phone itself but this ...
...have had no problems with getting a signal on this phone, I have used it in Europe and Canada too. Conclusion A great little phone, I am not sure whether I will upgrade again this year I will have to be convinced to part with my Sony Ericsson. ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T68i

...shops and found the lovely Sony Ericsson T68i with a colour display!!! I snatched the phone up straight away, and I got this phone for just £95 as I am on contract and have been paying this thing called “phones for life” all year. When I first switched the phone on I noticed the vibrant blue colour from the keys and the brilliant colour screen. At first I found the phone a bit difficult to use because I was used to the nokia interface, but after ...
...the instruction booklet, I am still learning about my phone and I just found out to day that by holding the joy stick to the left it brings up the phone number search menu. Now I find the phone much easier to use as every thing is illustrated with colour icons, but it is easy to get lost in the menus as with most mobile phones. The t68i is very light about 84g and is very small; its dimensions are about 100 x 48 x 20mm. The phone has a 256-colour ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T68i

...I personally find the Sony Ericcson methos of plugging in more secure than the 'Jack' type socket on Nokia'. There are bluetooth handsets available, but they are still fairly expensive (Over £100). If you do use your phone a lot whilst driving, then it may be a worthwhile investment. PROBLEMS/DISADVANTAGES I have personally had no problems with this phone, and I am well into my second year of using either a T68 or T68i. Problems to watch out for ...
...your phone to the nearest Sony Ericsson centre and having it upgraded. After a year the phone had started to collect a lot of dust, and some had crept into the display. I recommend again taking it to a service centre if this really bothers you. The various attachments for the bottom of the phone can wear and become loose when used. This all depends on how often you use them. Obviously the charger is always going to be used, and therefore the one ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T68i

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 ...
...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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ease Of Use After being a user of a Nokia for so many years I originally found it hard to get used to the Ericsson interface, especially when typing text messages and looking for the special characters such as spaces and punctiation, however I have ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T68i

...So I now have the sony ericsson t68i, on an Orange Everytime 200 contract. BATTERY, ETC It seems to last for a very long time. It was four days before it needed charging and its fair to say I was hammering the handset for use! Reception was clear and not in the least muffled. A cool feature is the slider on the side that tells you how much standby and talktime is left in hours and minutes! THE FEATURES As is the standard, you have caller id, ...
...the option to compose your own, and though slightly difficult to master, it is an infinately easier task than it was for me on the Motorola. I managed to create a 'Phoenix Nights' ring tone in about three hours... There is a joystick on the phone used to access all the features. Of which you can choose from your phone book, messages, call options, 'fun stuff', phone setup, wap/gprs, organizer and 'connect'. Suppose I'd best take you through each, ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T68i

With Sony backing Ericsson, you think nothing could go wrong, but you’d be wrong because its not all its cracked up to be. The Sony-Ericsson T68i looks like a cross-between the Nokia 32XX and 33XX series and the 72XX and 72XX series phones with curves! Its light weight, a good size, so you won’t have to carry it around in a brown paper bag. Using your T68i ============ Most people have used the GUI (menu system) of the Nokia phones and there’s ...
...So you might find it hard to get used to the Ericsson interface at first, typing text messages and looking for the commas n exclamation marks is so odd, but after about 2 -3 weeks your know your phone like the back of your hand. Aesthetics and Ergonomics ==================== Dimensions are 100 x 48 x 20mm, it’s a little bigger than the 72XX series phones, but you won’t complain because there’s so many more features – Wow! I thought they were actually ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T68i

...have friends on Orange with Sony J7s and 'clamshell' motorolas who cannot get a signal where I can. Sound quality is superb, and much better than my old Ericsson, and better than the Nokias I remember using (this is rather subjective and could be network related as I've changed networks too). The phone book is well thought out and can hold up to five different numbers for each contact, for mobile, home, work, fax and 'other'. This is excellent as ...
...can also associate an e-mail address with each contact, and title and company details if you like. This phone can send e-mail and faxes directly, so all the details can come in useful. This phone also has a mini organiser, so you you can set appointments and alarms to keep track of what you're supposed to be doing that day. There is also a basic alarm, should you wish to be woken up in the morning or reminded to feed your goldfish. Connection-wise, ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T68i

...the end. Something better from Sony I would have expected for sure. Can’t really fault the colour screen and/or the changeable images. Not to mention the option of downloading more from the net or putting your own on. The screen on the front and the area around the joystick do get very dirty even in the cleanest of pockets. I find myself continually wiping a greasy smear from the plastic. Navigation is simple enough especially with the colour ...
...Definitely in need of polyphonic tunes. Games can be quite addictive. I never used to play them on my other phones for two reasons. One, they were rubbish and two it’s a phone for god sake not a Playstation. But the games are fun and addictive, so far as phone games go, and colour helps yet again. The memory feature is a particular feature I find to be one of the best improvements. Other phones only allow about 7 to 10 text messages to be stored. ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T68i

...the vibrate feature on the sony T68i is a lot better than most other phones. Don't you hate it when your at the cinema and ur vibrate goes off and it seems to be louder than your ring tone. Its not like that at all. If anything, its too quiet so you don't notice it sometimes The screen is pretty cool cos its in full colour and it comes with loads of backgrounds. Features-Its got all the basics like a phone book, vibrate, and all of that malarcy. ...
...can download ones from the sony website or get them sent by picture message from a friend. It comes with 8 games- Arimona Contrary Erix Four piles Navel fleet North territory Q Yukon struggle Don't be fooled, all of these games other than navel fleet are rubbish. Navel fleet is basiclly battle ships. Not that i use my phone for playing games anyway. The texting on the T68i is very hard to get to grips with and the instruction manual gives ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T68i

...was going to have a Sony Ericsson T68i. The decision was based almost entirely on the battery life. I had been using a Samsung which needed charging pretty much every day, so an advertised maximum standby of 319 hours was the only lure I needed. £149.99 later, nice Mr Vodafone was ushering me out of his emporium, and wishing me a happy life. Chez Sleevie, the phone was unpacked, fondled, fooled with and generally fiddled about until I felt comfortable ...
...Bluetooth, image sending and so on, would have to wait. I’m quite used to small phones, and the T68i, with its tidy little buttons didn’t scare me one bit. In fact the buttons felt positive, and the keypad made a good, mechanical sounding ‘click’ with each press…I subsequently found out you can get it to bleep instead, or make no noise at all. In fact, you can get it to do any of these by incorporating the command into your various profiles. Oh ...

...looked the best was the Sony Ericsson T68i. Features -------- This phone has loads of very useful features and the controls and use of these features is very well thought out indeed. Just below the screen is a joystick that allows you to navigate around a Windows-esque menu of 9 icons.

Review of Sony Ericsson T68i

...WAP to log onto the Sony site, download all the pictures I had saved in a personal gallery online, and Bluetooth them to my boss who had an identical phone. Once the novelty of all this wore off, I started to pay more attention to the actual functionality of the phone, and I wasn't impressed. TEXTS I am a text addict and an IT girl, and as a result, my typing is fast. The T68i simply couldn't keep up. I would press buttons and have to pause to wait ...
...will never ever buy a Sony Ericsson phone again, no matter how flash they may look. The menu system is illogical, frustrating and in no way on par with Nokia. For a week of fun, I wasted months trying to achieve what is simple with other phones - making calls and sending texts. If you want a phone to actually use like a phone, avoid the T68i. It may look pretty, but it falls over when you actually try and get it to function! I know three people ...
