Written on: 18/03/2007 by panda1 (27 reviews written)
Despite its age, it's still a great little phone, missing GSM 850 band which wasn't available from any manufacturer at the time. Bought this used in Manila, Philippines unlocked and have used it traveling around different places. Asia is particularly inexpensive obtaining and using a prepaid SIM; Canada, Europe tends to be much more expensive using a prepaid plan. I basically wanted a good quality basic phone, long lasting battery life for talking and standby. The battery tends to be... (read more)

The Sony Ericsson T68i mobile phone is simply for someone who wants to contact other people. It is good for that because it does not break easily. However, this phone is no hi-tech media center, and as I said, is purely for the purpose of contacting others. (read more)

Written on: 17/06/2005 by dodgyb2001 (3 reviews written)
Owned the Sony Ericsson T68i for about 2-3 years, and was very impressed by the battery life. It can last a week without recharge with minimal usage.
However, the reception on it is abysmal. I thought it was my service provider, but my friend has a T610 and he has similar reception problems, I assume it must be a problem with Sony phones. I could only get vaguely good reception in the open air, at work and at home I could barely get anything. The bluetooth is dodgy.
Because the reception...

The Bluetooth is naff without the software update, I tried connecting it up to my PC (eMachines 330) via USB Bluetooth Adapter, and then... ...nothing, my T68i crashes whenever I try to send or receive files via Bluetooth, shuts itself down without warning on a regular basis, and has the tendency to say "Low Battery Power" when I've just charged it up. Explain that. (read more)

If you are interested in a T68i phone... RUN AWAY SCREAMING NOW.... It is the most infuriatingly slow phone I have ever had the misfortune to use. I actually grew a beard whilst waiting for it to boot up so I could make a call.
The screen is not all that either. I had the handset replaced twice due to failure and when it failed a third time I was due an upgrade and jumped at the chance.
The reception was poor too. I could use another brand phone on the same network that had a near perfect...

The Sony Ericsson T68i is a nice and compact mobile phone and over the past year I've found it to be very reliable. Ocasionally it will switch itself off but very rarely. Viewing the screen in bright light is difficult (for my old eyes anyway). I have only had limited success using it for Internet access as a modem via the IR port on my laptop. This was one of the main reasons I went for it. (read more)

i was pleased with my Sony Ericsson T68i when i first got it, but as time went on i realised that the signal reception was absolutely abysmal. The inability to send text messeges for c. 90% of the time rather annoyed me (what do you expect, im 15, textings all i ever do! lol).
The idea of all the features such as bluetooth etc. are good, but they seem too much for the phone to handle.

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...

I quite like the shape and compactness of this Sony Ericsson T68i mobile phone. I think it looks smarter than some of the new phones that may have superior features. This phone is not probably for people who constantly use the text facility. I am not happy with the following:
The battery is not well fitted and creeks with use.
Joystick developed a crack after a couple of months and came off about the 11th month.
Charger gave up and caused inconvenience trying to get a replacement

The Sony Ericsson T68i offers a multiplicity of functions but with dreadful execution. The mobile phone's processor is not up to the task; it is woefully slow, freezes often and suffers from poor reception with frequent dropped calls (no problems when other phones used on the same network and locations). I have had 2 as the first crashed and could not be resuscitated; the replacement was no better. (read more)

I noticed some problems appearing after about six months and it began with texting. With some words, or if I was using say, an apostraphe it would take a good few seconds for it to appear on screen when previously it would have been instant.

I wasn't expecting much from the Sony Ericsson T68i when i bought it but was pleasantly suprised by the what the mobile phone offered for its price (£100 from shop) it has an IRDA port and Bluetooth that are really easy to use and link with everything i have tried it with,the memory or battery life can compete with any other phone but the only problem is the limitation of picture taking if you use the camera attachment because of the 256 colours (read more)

I thought i couldn't go wrong with a Sony Ericsson T68i, after my last phone (motorolla t191) decided to pack up on me and they wanted to charge me £50 to fix it. I've had the phone since August 2003 and suddenly i'm now experiencing the dreaded "NO ACCESS" error that so many people have talked about. With me it seemed to initially be on an on off basis, but now i can't even use my phone. When i phoned up t-mobile the first thing they asked was if it was a t68i (bet they've had a few calls...

Most of the time i get no reception (in the middle of a city!!), and the phone is just too slow. Even the slowest of texters can outtype it.

For the entire time I have suffered poor reception with the Sony Ericsson T68i mobile phone, as compared to other phones, such as the T610.
The volume switch is a multiswitch on the side. It has become non-functional.
The entire time I've had the phone it has taken several attempts for it to turn on. In at least one instance it has refused to turn itself off.
Its processor is so slow that I can outtype it. In particular, it does not lock sufficiently quickly after a phone call (menu-yes).

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...

The T68i is a very good phone but it does have flaws, as many people have said on this site they have network problems and my particular one had problems with the 'no' button which is one of the most used buttons on the phone!

I know what you mean. The T68i is a great little phone. Understand that, by allowing anyone to write a review or make bad comments, it allows idiotic people to sabotage a good phone as if it were terrible for their own reasons - such as they dont like SE phones, and are die hard Nokia fans.

<br>Someone disagreed with my review of the T610, 6 times in one day to lower my reviews credibility - it just shows how immature some people are.

I found this site by accident looking for a replacement for my T68. It is the worst phone I have ever used in the last 15 years and I am not a phone bore. It has been replaced by Orange three times this year despite my protests to be allowed to change. The reception is very poor and it crashes all the time.

The Sony Ericsson T68i is the WORST MOBILE PHONE I have ever had the misfortune to own - honestly a Nokia 3210 is many times better in useability.

Volume control slider breaks, second battery charges improperly, joystick is useless, user interface is so slow and annoying. (read more)

This Sony Ericsson T68i is the third Ericsson phone which has passed through my family, and, like the others, it's been completely unreliable. Its worst fault is its habit of dialling numbers from the phonebook with no human intervention, even when locked (it once dialled a friend when he was abroad, and cost him £20, as he couldn't shut the call down!). It frequently fails to register incoming calls, and the '0' key refuses to work unless you click it about 50 times. Like the other... (read more)

I was quite pleased initially with the Sony Ericsson T68i mobile phone. I had upgraded from a Nokia 3330 so the colour screen was a nice change, but I have had problems with the phone turning off on it's own, turning on also, and the fact that it freezes regularly. The bluetooth and infra-red are nice options but pretty much unused by me so I could live without them, and I was very disappointed with the camera and the on-screen "photos" which looked nothing like the original subject!

You are so right - the T68i is a mangy dog. I'm on my 3rd one also, but I did drop my 1st on into a cup of coffee! Some days even in places where reception is normally fine it can't do anything - can't send or receive texts, can't access voicemail, can't make or receive any type of call.
<br>
<br>Sometimes the signal bar fluctuates wildy for hours or it suddenly drops of the network requiring yet another re-boot. Do you get the 'No access' message, that happens when the phone comes over all autistic and can't communicate with anything. Texting has now become a farce with maybe 20% of txts being successful. Its a beautiful phone which can do all sorts of clever stuff - except work properly.
<br>
<br>I just can't wait for my free upgrade in December after 12 months of frustration. Nokia...come back, all is forgiven!!

In the beginning I was very excited about my t68i. But after I've been using it for a couple of months, some minor issues are emerging. After a little while I (and others) noticed that the buttons produced rather loud tic-tic-sounds. I also noticed that the joystick is somewhat inaccurate and that it have a tendency to get jammed in a particular position (this may be an individual problem for my phone..?).

The t68i is the best phone I have owned to date, by a long way. My reason for buying it was so that I could sync the phone book with my Mac using iSync. In that respect it has been absolutely fantastic.

<br>Nothing's perfect, and I do find it extremely annoying to find that it regularly turns itself off in my pocket WITH THE KEYLOCK ON. A keylock really should, well, lock the keys.

ABSOLUTELY!!! ive had a t68i for about 6 months now and the keylock thing is by far the most irritating thing about it. Regularly the phone turns itself off or even phones the first number on your call list! Even when keylock is ON. Not only that, but if you have the lock on, you put it in your pocket and someone calls you, a simple accidental press of the yes button answers the call, despite keylock supposedly LOCKING THE KEYS?!?! Bit of a misnoma there. It's got so bad that i have even taken to leaving my phone at home to avoid the hassle (completely defeating the point of a mobile)and needless to say, ive had to apologise to the first person on my phone for the random calls, and my girlfriend thinks i answer the phone and ignore her! Pity really, because otherwise it's a useful and stylish phone (the camera is poor though, and i have had a few problems with the software crashing on the games and during sms)

You must have had a bad 'un, but my 1st one (yes, i had to have it changed) suffered similar problems, like sms didnt work and it froze up. I'm disappointed with the phone as i've always had nokias before and they have been great (had a mobile for 8 years now). A big design fault i've found is that if you drop the phone and the battery falls out, the retention clips fell out and broke - they were made from very fragile plastic. So now my battery falls out all the time. The clip should have been part of the battery. Anyway, i've decided to change to a Nokia 6100 (see reviews!)

I have owned this phone for a year and have had no problems, this is my 4th phone in 8 years and is by far the best I have ever had. It has good range, very duriable, so many features and is built for the growing tecko freak. I have a number of Blue tooth perphils and they all work well and will now always want a phone with Blue tooth in it. (read more)

Clear bright display.. Easy to use.. Great synchronisation with Microsoft Outlook for contacts and appointments.
However network connection is appauling - Not sure if this is generic to the handset or a fault with T-Mobile's software. This is my second replacement handset and it is showing the same fault after a week! The display shows full reception to the network but it doesn't receive or make calls. The problem remains even after a reboot.
A phone that does not make or receive calls is...

Totally agree with you. I have had 1 phone repaired, then after the 2nd same fault a new phone as they couldn't fix this fault. This new phone then stopped working a few days ago & is now being 'repaired'. All with the 'No Network' problem where you can't make or receive any calls. This phone is very unreliable - avoid at all costs.

Completely agree. I'm on my second replacement in 10 months and, guess what, this one has now stopped working. I'm in the process of getting a third replacement. This phone is useless.

I couldnt agree with this more! I am now on my third phone all after experiencing the same problem as desribed above. And guess what's happened today.....it's gone again! This time i cant recieved or make calls and no network is being recognised. Although this is my 3rd faulty phone, Orange are refusing to replace this one as my insurance expired last month! I've only got my original phone 13 months ago! Avoid this phone...and avoid Orange - their customer care/service is appalling!!!

it appears that Orange know the T68i is a pile of junk - they've just offered to replace mine with a Siemens S55. if they can do it for me, they can do it for you... a precedent has been set.
<br>
<br>my latest T68i has had the same fault as the previous two - a few weeks' of normal operation, then suddenly fluctuating signal followed by 'no access'.
<br>
<br>don't take any guff from them about the warranty, if it doesn't work and they sold it to you, they're liable.

If you ever thought how a phone can be complicated and enhanced than its limits, check this phone out.. T68i.
I can see many people [specially nokia lovers] hate this phone (some one said they are jealous!) as they've never seen this T68i as a whole one thing.
Can anyone tell me about a phone with has T68i's features but with low price of T68i?
Yes that's the difference. Many phones in the market has same features of T68i but they got 'em seperatly. As we can see different phones give...

i had the t68m software upgrade to the t68i, there has been a lot of new things in the phone, its faster t9 is a little better, loads off new pictures, works better with the camera, it was worth having the t68m software to t68i without selling my phone and having to buy the next one up thanks sony, the gprs is better than wap and cheaper, but there could have sorted the bluetooth out, mined you the ir port is good for doing ringtones, the camera is the must have, i love it (read more)

What's wrong with the BlueTooth? You can leave it on 24/7 if you want, though it will use more battery. The 3 minute thing is only that it can stay discoverable for 3 mins at a time & that is for security purposes.

I found the picture quality of the Camera great. As big (640 x 480) as any other on the market and of a High Quality even though heavily compressed. The picture quality is better than the Panasonic GD88 and better than the Nokia 7650 when you email it out. Not so good on the 256 colour screen but a better quality jpeg is produced. As for the cable, waste of time as the phone has both BlueTooth & InfraRed so no need to buy a cable to connect to the PC. Just use the wireless methods.

OK, well I've given it all in the Good points and Bad points sections.
It looks nice and is light and the screen is big if you're coming off an old non-colour phone.
The calendar capability is wicked - Good PDA replacement if all you do is make lots of little appointments and reminders!!!
Pitty you can't use java games - big-time ommision by Ericsson! And no polyphonic ringtones - but they naff you off anyhow :o))
The buttons have a bit of a weak clicky feel, but the menu delay is worse -...
