Long batery life


Bad Points

Almost too many to mention
- the keylock can switch itself off when carried in the pocket/on one's belt, because of randon depression of the keys (which is what the keylock was there to prevent....)
- it randomly calls people from the phone list
- the menu structure is completely bizarre and unfathomable (it took the Vodafone shop I bought it from over half an hour to set it up for web access)
- the phone is slow to move from one menu option to another, disabling for keyboard for several seconds whenever a popup window is displayed
- the detachable camera is unusable with the screen - when you take a photo the resolution of the screen is so poor that the photo displays as an unintelligible splodge of colour on the screen
- the connection between phone and camera is unreliable - sometimes they connect, sometimes not...
- reception is poor - often others around you have perfect reception whilst the T68i user has none
- it randomly doesn't pick up calls
- audio quality is extremely poor - it is inaudible with significant background noise, and turning up the sound level just produces loud inaudible sound


General Comments

This Sony Ericsson T68i is far and away the worst mobile phone I've ever had the misfortune to own. If you wanted something which typified how Ericsson lost their way, this is it.

It was never designed - rather it is a set of features stuck together. The menu structure isn't set up based on what a user may want to do - rather it is a seemingly random assortment of features the phone has. The user then has to translate from what they want to do, to what features of the phone enable them to do this and where they are on the phone menu.

The keylock doesn't, the poor screen resolution renders the separate camera pretty well useless, reception is poor, audio quality is poor, the menu structure is bizarre.... avoid !!!

I'm now looking to upgrade (as pretty well anything is an upgrade in this). Several advisors at the major phone shops all agreed that this is the worst phone Ericsson have ever made....

You have been warned.....
