Seriously though, signal strength where I live seems to be declining rather than improving. I blame the "mobile phone masts give cancer" idiots.
Of course, anyone who understands the inverse square law realises that more masts = less max power (if the minimun signal strength required is constant, more masts means the maximum distance to the nearest mast decreases), but you try explaining that to the man/woman on the street...
This is strikingly similar to the P800. I am not sure how they compare spec for spec, but the P800 is Microsoft free!. (It uses Symbian instead.) I was holding out for the P800 until I was able to get the T68i on Amazon for $25. Comparing just the looks, the P800 wins. Plus, it has a pad to flip over the screen so you can both protect it and dial with real buttons.
