Sony Ericsson T68i
The Sony Ericsson T68i was among the first phones to provide the now expected colour display and digital camera.
Designing of T68i is extremely gorgeous thanks to the slick curving and light blue colour. But apart from styling, good care has been taken of the functionality too. For example, in dark surroundings, the backlighting is evident courtesy the blue LED’s. But on the flipside, you find it highly improbable to view the colour display in bright sunshine.
T68i has a colour screen supporting 256 colors with a resolution of 101x80 pixels. That apart, there are pre-installed wallpapers, ringtones and images. You can also play couple of the in-built games.
Using the digital camera, it is possible to send low resolution images to your dear ones wirelessly through e-mail.
Even as the T68i has a range of comprehensive features, the erratic signal strength causes a few teething problems. However wherever you get good signal, the reception is of the highest order.
User interface gives mixed vibes. At times, the navigation procedure can be painfully tardy. This can be attributed to the fact that so many features are dumped in the phone even though it doesn’t have the sufficient storage space and neither an expansion slot. To be fair to Sony, though navigating is sluggish, the menus are pretty sensible and using common sense you will be able to make the modifications to the phone settings as you desire.
Praise worthy is the internet surfing which is rapid once Internet connection is successful which hardly takes more than a minute.
Voice recognition feature installed allows you to record a name for each of your contacts. To call this contact all you have to do is repeat the stored name for the respective contact.
Wireless data connectivity is enhanced with Bluetooth technology delivering great results. Bluetooth has plenty of choices which help your phone synchronize very well with your computer. Infrared is also present. Business minded people can connect to Microsoft Outlook while on the run. But the USB cable doses not synchronize with Windows XP causing some trouble to those who still don’t want to try out Bluetooth. Credit, though, must go to T68i for providing wireless synchronization as it was never a PDA.
Battery life gives you a decent 5.5-6 hours of talk time and about 6 days of standby time.
It is possible to conserve the battery if you keep the phone in sleep mode and switch off the Bluetooth function when not in use.
If you are brave enough to ignore the tardy navigation and certain discrepancies of the colour screen, this phone will triband capabilities will deliver great results.

Gr8 styling and superb features
After trying out the Sony Ericsson T68i, I bet not many can be disapponted. The designing is absolutely marvellous especially the curvy edges. Voice recognition feature deserves some praise. Camera isn't the best around but it's not bad either. Bluetooth works exceptionally well and thankfully, the battery life is also good enough. There are very few negatives. The screen of T68i is fantastic except when exposed to bright sunshine. Signal strength is not the best and user interface is rather tedious. It has just too many merits though to be rated as a bad mobile.

Slow coach
I bought this phone looking at its design, but i guess they're right when they say that we shouldnt judge books by their covers. Despite its smart exterior, this phone seems to fall through as far as performance is concerned. It is listless in operation and becomes painfully hazy in sunlight.
