Well Japan got 3G while every other country is farting at that general direction (3G, not Japan).

Sony Ericsson T68i

It is SO sexy

Cost me £150 when new... ($190-ish I think?)
It would have cost £400 if I hadn't got in on contract rather than pre-pay.

EXACTLY. (@ the fart comment )

Ceroo: it IS cute, but there is something, SOMETHING, that doesn't seem right about it. Must be the shape.

it's interesting to note that every country where the major manufacturers / telecom companies are (finland, japan, and skorea) tend to be on the cutting edge and have far more developed cellular systems than in the us and elsewhere.

helps that they're a lot smaller, and their entire nations are more devoted to technologies.

hi ,

the US was on a good road with motorola , but then a couple years ago it went death , ....

its also funny to see that for example the SE 520 was being relased in china a couple years ago and not on the us market till about right now , ....



when it come to gsm's most of the new models are only to be found in some cities , the big apple and the big orange , boulder / denver and to a lesser extend in chicago and miami , .....

most americans dont seem to care , ....

hey , what ya want , you have a telephone booth on most corners and the cell carriers are way to expensive and there are way to many of them without any roaming agreements , ....

not to mention that for a large user its actually cheaper to make calls with certain sattelite phone companies then with gsm's , ....

have a nice day

Heheh, I got the exact same piece of **** Vetlegion...

I hate making telephone calls so I don't invest a dime in telephone equipment, I don't see the point using it except for arranging a meeting or so, and that only lasts half a minute, usually. I truly don't understand how all those 12 year olds can spend hundreds of euros in just a month's time... I can manage 3-4 months with just €25 or so...

I resisted the call of mobile phones for several years. I had no need of the I told myself. Then I bought one just before the EU-summit in Gothenburg, so I could keep in touch with party comrades, police and city officials in the busy days of preparation. And now I can´t live without it This was a Siemens of some sort, I called it the "porno mobile" cause not only was the digits and screen lit up by a sexy dim red light, it was also smooth and slightly rounded. Eehh, I think you get the picture...

My current mobile phone is a Ericsson T65, good phone with a large screen, but damn small digits and a complicated menu system that forces you to press buttons in absurdum

I´m told it has both WAP and GPRS capability, but I never bothered with that fancy stuff. 3G sucks ass IMO

Hey! It is the best designed mobile ever. I challenge you to find cooler model before or after 8110. You can't, can you?


And I am on a pre-paid system. I buy cards with codes on kiosks, and when I type in the code I get the sum I paid at the kiosk added to my account. Great thing, you can control your spending easier than if you have a subscription. Only limit is you have to spend 15 Euro in 3 months which as you may guess is no problem at all
