Hmm, I have both T68i and T68m.
I didnt like the i-model when I first saw it on pictures,..but in real life its quite different, better looking and a good "feel" to it.
I also like my T68m, very beautiful phone, and will probably keep it as a "second phone", also because its kinda "rare" 
I can understand why people want this new software,..its very nice with a lot of features.
Its easy for me to say, that "I can wait", because I already got one phone with the software. It makes it easier for me to accept.
I just hope it will come soon to all you guys and girls 
Surely, I want this software too on my T68m. And I'm gonna get it as well once it arrives.

Are you also noticing that the new sms beep is a bit lower than the old on the T68? | |

Yep, I've noticed that too.
And also the start-up,..when it searches/finds the network.

Have you also noticed that the soundlevel between 2-4 is the exact same? (I have gotten this confirmed from two other users, how about your set?) |

Another question if you don't mind: My set is clear white in the upper left corner of the display, but in the lower right corner the display is darker.
Is you screen perfect or do you see any of my problem on your set? |

Hey
Soundlevel is not the same in my phone. 2 and 4 are very different, as they should be. All soundlevels are different on my phone.
2 is low, but 4 is much higher.
I'm using my own emelody, dont know if this could mean anything ?
I use the SonyEricsson logo on mainscreen,..it seems to be white all over.
It can look darker in the right corner, but I think its only because the battery-icon is dark/black.
Or maybe its the blue backlight that makes the bottom of screen look darker ?? I dont really know ?
My "contrast" setting is normal/in the middle

Then the screen problem is probably explained and I concider it not faulty on my device.
About the soundlevel; I find it strange. Three phones at my local reseller has no difference between level 2-4 at all. I have also gotten the same response from anoter T-68i user on this forum. I have only tried it with the "built in "low" ring tone on the phones in the store. I've tried to change ring tone on my own but still no difference between level 2-4. 5 and 6 is very louder though. Could you try it out with the "low"-named ring tone and see if you still have different levels of 2-4?

You're right,..I tried with the ring tone called LOW.
Here 2-4 are the same, 5 is different.
This LOW-ringtone is probably made this way,.so that its always low, I guess.
My other ringtones work fine, e.g. Mission Impossible, using this one right now
I've noticed that the screen/icons are much brighter/sharper on T68i,..where the T68m screen/icons is more "blurry/faded" in colors.
Thats probably also a reason why the screen looks different.
The colors are more "seperated", if You know what I mean

Yeahh it seems like it Your welcome.
I havent been home much lately, so I havent had the time to "study" the manual with all this new stuff yet.
Think I'll have a look on the "Themes"-thing on the SE-site.
I did try the phone on both wap and email,..wap works faster than usual,..email works fine too
Also used T68i with my laptop and bluetooth pc-card, going on the internet,..worked great too.
So for now, there doesnt seem to be any "problems" with this new little baby

E-mail is much faster now. At least with my serviceprovider. Before it took up to 15-20 seconds before the mailbox was found; now it takes way under 10 seconds.
While studying the manual, note that sms messages now have options for different text styles. Very neat indeed. |

The text style bit is in the original t68 manual but it never transpired.

T68i and T68m both are looking good to me.
both has its own style in my opinion.
so, I won't pay for a new T68i again... just waiting for the upgrade |

There are several hardware versions (also called "revisions") of the T68m on the market. I wonder if this screen problem is related to a specific hardware version, or if it's only seen on Jan's T68m or on all phones from the same batch.
The only "bigger" problem that I have been told was fixed by a hardware change (revision) is that with the microphone. (People at "the other end" could sometimes hear a "bumblebee sound", especially when you talk loudly in your T68m.) I know that a new firmware also took care of this microphone problem, but this was only a workaround on phones with older versions of the hardware.
It would be interesting if everyone in this forum (especially Jan) could tell us the hardware and software revisions, and also the manufacturing date and country, that is printed on the label under the battery. (The current loaded software (firmware) is found by using instructions elsewhere on this superb site (www.esato.com)). Then it would be easier to find out what versions are having problems (hardware or software bugs).
You can see the hardware revision next to the product number, and the product number is something like "KRC 114 1290" (on T68m). The revision itself (also called "R-state") is something like "R1B" or "R2A" (the later is newer).
Unfortunately I don't own either a T68m or T68i. I have only bought one, a T68m, to my son, and he lives 800 km from here. And I don't think that you are interested in what versions I have in my old R320s!
If I could be sure of that Sony-Ericsson eventually release a firmware for T68m, that will make this model as fast and function rich as the new T68i, then I would buy a T68m immediately! (I know that it soon will be impossible to get one, as Sony-Ericsson has stopped the manufacturing of it.) The reason for this, is that I prefer the design of the T68m, but want the speed and functions already available in the T68i. It's a pity that the designer of T68m is not employed by Ericsson (Sony-Ericsson) any more - His job is now done by a Japanese, which could be the reason of the new design on both T68i and other new (coming) models.
Keep telling us about the differences found between the T68m and T68i! The older hardware versions of T68m are for sure NOT (electrically) identical with the new T68i, no matter what the Sony-Ericsson representatives say. (Note that I don't say, or know, anything about whether ALL versions of T68m will be as fast and function rich, with the forthcoming firmware, as the current T68i.) | |
