General Comments

I've had the 868 for about 15 months now, during that time, I've dropped it on concrete loads of times, got it soaking wet in the rain, and flung it in the tailpack with lots of spanners etc when I go cycling. Hasn't let me down once, apart from when a battery contact came loose, (just needed tightening) Battery life has been consistent and hasn't got worse over time. The call quality is very good, even in areas with hardly and signal.
Yes, it is heavy, but solid, reliable etc

    I too have an Ericsson S868 and if it is similar to my GH688 then the battery contact screws had a modification (lengthening). These screws also come loose especially if the vibrate attachment is used. Do not tighten the bottom two screws yourself unless you are very careful as you can pull them right out of the motherboard. If you get a software upgrade be warned that you may lose your rapidly blinking LED feature. Ericsson make the LED rapid blinking feature timeout after one minute to save the battery.
