Rating: Summary: Right direction but needs to be tweeked Review: I purchased this phone looking to take advantage of bluetooth technology, and maybe get rid of my palm, But... this is not to be as GSM service is not complete where I live rurally so calls are dropped or I can't get service. Using this phone with my Clie NZ90 has also been a challange even with the phone being in bluetooth mode, if it isn't paired you'll be wondering what the hype is all about. If you're looking for a PDA and have cell phone service you might look at some of the newer PDA/phone setups ie: Garmin, Treo 600 etc.
Rating: Summary: Small and "cute" but inefficient and annoying Review: The main reason I bught this phone was for its size and its extremely long battery power. In these respects it did not fail. However, I've found myself wishing several times that I could throw it against the wall in a burst of fury. First it is slow to respond. You hit the send button, and you may have to do this 2-4 times because for some reason it does not "connect" despite having good reception, and you have to wait about 5 seconds before it connects. Its even slow when navigating through the menu. Second, and I'll explain this with an example, let's say you've just called a friend's house, and he's not there. Now the natural thing to do is call his cell-phone. To do this, you have to click 5 buttons! Following each button press, there is about half-a-second lag, because the phone is so slow. Third, The ring tones are cheesy and not polyphonic, which is what you would expect with such a "futuristic phone". I mean, it has bluetooth connectivity for heaven's sake. Other than that, the phone is fine!
Rating: Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE Review: ALL AROUND BAD PHONE ESPECIALLY THE RECEPTION HOW DID THIS THING EVER GO INTO PRODUCTION?????
Rating: Summary: AT&T GSM Service or Phone Review: I have this phone but I think its the GSM technology more so than the phone. I know someone else who has a GSM phone with the card in it and they have a different carrier and the exact same problems with the phone.
Rating: Summary: The brick phone got better recption Review: This is probably the worst phone i have ever owned, and i am ashamed that spent money on it. It is constantly dropping calls, that is when it gets service. I agree with the other review which is. DONT BUY THIS PHONE
Rating: Summary: Horrible Phone Review: The bells and whistles of this phone are nice -- when it works. There are two problems with this phone, and they're big ones. First, the reception on this phone is terrible, it drops calls constantly and that's when you're fortunate enought to have enough reception to recieve or make a phonecall. Other GSM phones will have full coverage, but the T68i won't even have any service. It's quite annoying when you can't make a call at a stoplight and you look around and see that everyone else can. Secondly, the phone constantly freezes up. It has these steps that it takes to make a call after you hit send and durring these steps the phone will simply stop and go back to its main screen. Be prepared to hit send two, three, or sometimes four times. Don't get this phone; and better yet, stay away from AT&T, because with their service it's quite difficult to reach out and touch somebody.
Rating: Summary: No redeeming value Review: This is the worst phone ever made! It does nothing well. The reception is awful and it drops calls frequently, the fit and finish is poor (the screen fills with dust obscuring the low rez screen), it only displays 256 colors making it useless for pictures, bluetooth works intermittently, buttons are too small and press themselves too easily in pockets (even with key lock on), joystick broke with light use... Shall I go on? Do yourself a favor, avoid all Sony Ericsson products. If this phone is any indication of their commitment to product quality, they need to get out of the business.
Rating: Summary: Nice Features but Not Durable-Poor Reception Review: I bought the T68i for its advanced features and bluetooth compatibility. I was able to synchronize the phone with my ACT! database and found the phonebook and calendar functions of the phone quite good. Bluetooth performance was spotty. I needed to re-establish the bluetooth link with headset quite frequently. Sometimes this worked without a hitch other times it took several tries. Reception on the phone was spotty in some areas where other ATT Next Generation phones had good reception...don't know why this was. My biggest complaint about this phone was its durability. Through normal wear and tear it just didn't measure up. The earpiece volume button popped off just a couple of months after I got the phone. This was a real problem since there was no other way to easily adjust earpiece volume. I think ATT had a lot of problems with these phones since they offered free replacements with another model (unfortunately that model did not have bluetooth or many of the other features).
Rating: Summary: After 14 months of use... Review: After 14 months of use Ill talk about this phone that I still own (and which Im hoping to get rid of once $370 falls out of the sky so I can get the Motorola V600). The size is great because Im a tiny phone person. The color screen is even fairly nice although it's a bit pixely. I like the whole digital phone thing as a screen saver. But the cons kill me. Ive had two of these phones. First off that little side volume button didn't break off but it no longer works and that happened on both phones. The first phone it just kinda wiggled up and down. It does what it is supposed to do on this phone but it just refuses to work. It worked for about a week and just stopped. When I first had this phone, I had some huge roaming bills cuz it would just randomly jump into cingular. I still get charged for text message roaming sometimes...don't ask me how. Keeping numbers on the SIM card is a hassle because you can't do categories with this phone for the SIM. It has to be MOM Cell, MOM Home, MOM Work etc. whereas if you store them on the phone you can just put MOM and then enter her work, cell, home, email etc. in the different slots. My first phone threw a hissy fit and had a memory malfunction. One day it just decided that it was going to erase 3/4 of my numbers. Basically my phone booked looked like Alan space space space space Cindy space space space space space space Tammy etc. You had no access to the deleted numbers nor could you recover them and a bonehead AT&T operator told me to do memory reset and i lost ALL of my numbers after that. This phone is also prone to shutting itself off within pockets are purses even if the key lock is on. It has the voice dial but it would help if the voice dial rerecognized my voice. i set it up but hardly use it. The ringtones suck and if you're a person who likes to play games (which I don't) those stink too. This phone is a little old and outdated so i say buy something current and more costly and don't waste your $150.
