Good Points

It's pretty slim, and quite short, but standard width, and is fairly light. Nice simple games, lovely battery charge indicator on the screen. Lots of features inc. bluetooth and infrared. For the features you get, it's cheap....


Bad Points

...but you DO get what you pay for....:
Annoying flashing lights, poor quality construction (creaks with use, and is scratched easily), very slooow processor. Not ideal for those with big hands/thumbs!


General Comments

General usage: Rubbish. I dread everytime I have to reply to a text message - my thumb isn't *that* big, and I keep hitting the wrong button.

Over time (I've had this Sony Ericsson T68i mobile phone just over a full year) - the buttons and joystick becomes unreliable, the On/Off (or No) button is now almost unworkable, other navigation buttons are going the same way.

Menu system is okay - quite pleasing to the eye, but avoid this if you like texting (as I do) because it's about 4-5 button presses just to write a new text message, and quite a few more button presses again to actually send it - not the most efficient way of using it.

Battery cover isn't of good design - it creaks with use and gives a feeling of poor quality of product - this is from brand new.

My opinion is that this phone isn't designed for daily usage, prone to wear and tear very easily, and not suitable for texting, and the processor isn't fast enough to do much on it (although its default games play ok). I dread to think how the processor copes with pictures if there was an optional camera attached to it (which for the price of the option, you can buy a compact digital camera anyway that does a better job).

The reception on this phone isn't as good as others - it's more fussy in both low and high signal strength areas and cuts out where other phones still manage to keep a reception link.

I know another four users of this phone - they aren't happy bunnies and has changed it at the eariliest opportunity (they got a Siemens, Panasonic and Nokia). I am changing this phone for a Siemens and I'm not a big Nokia fan, so don't think I hate this phone because it's not a Nokia.
