The t68i Replacement is Here
interdigitate writes "The new T610 was been unveiled today by Sony Ericsson. This is the t68i replacement and its supposed to improve on it in every aspect. It has a 16bit color screen, Polyphonic ringtones, a built in digital camera, GPRS, Bluetooth (ofcourse), and most importantly it has Synchronization which should mean it will work with apple's iSync! " So... pretty. Must... resist.
The telephone aspect of the phone had to be removed to save space.
Wow! Up to 2mb of memory available! I almost wet myself, I could store almost two floppy disks on there!
(oh, wait...)
Smegma.
I herewith declare you the person with the lowest ID I've ever seen!
Does it run Linux?
Say what you like, but the SonyEricsson corporate branding is really fucking good.
No doubt they spent more on that logo than most people earn while they are taking a shit at work.
Invoicing, Time Tracking, Reporting
So, GSM phone. That means it only works with "T-Mobile" in the states, right? The company with decent calling plans, but the shittiest service, worst calling areas, no roaming (that's what "no roaming fees!" means...you can't roam at all with an all-digital phone!) worst building penetration and no plans to improve any of these? The one that paid several million dollars for their spokesman, and it was Jamie Lee Curtis? No thanks, man. I'll stick with my POS $30 Kyocera and Verizon, where I spend a lot extra to get the basic level of service I should get with everybody -- service that works indoors, service that works in the mountains as well as in the city, service that works in Canada and Mexico and the peace of mind to say "no, go ahead and call me, my phone will be on, I get service everywhere?"
Hey freaks: now you're ju
and man does that new phone work fine! I just called your wife and phone sex is better than ever was :)
.5mm to allow for your increased sexual satisfaction.
Well luckily for you they increased the size of the microphone hole another
It still doesn't look anything as nice as Nokia. It has Bluetooth, aye, but is it a requirement to look bloody ugly to have a bluetooth? :/
3 billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines.
the T800 is next
Johns: Well, how does it look now? Riddick: Looks clear.

Am I the only one who tried figuring out what the heck t68i and 16bit were in script-kiddish before my brain took back over...

I don't...only because I just got a P800 on Friday, but it does look to be a SCHWEET leetle tang!
Seriously, the cam IS very helpful - I snap the photos of people when I grab their phone numbers, so when a call comes in I can see who it is. Mounted in my car, it's great - I can instantly associate the photo without having to actually read anything, which makes driving alot safer.
The polyphonic ring tones can be as annoying as anything else out there, but it can also be a hell of alot less harsh on the ears. Boss calls, theme from "Empire Strikes Back" softly plays. 'Nuff said.
I love my Sony - I immediately replaced my Siemens SL45i and Palm Vx at once and never looked back. The new Sony line is kickass...
Personally, I've preferred that good ol' piano tune that Yosemite Sam had Bugs Bunny play: e d c d c c e g f a C# C# a a. (... no silly, rabbit! like this!)
:P"
When (clueless) people ask if it's a wrong note in there I just tell them, "No! I just don't want my phone to explode
I am in LA. SO coverage is fairly good for many of the providers. There is only two major features I want in my next phone: Camera and Bluetooth. In that order. I meet a lot of girls and I can't remember 3 days later these girls I have on my phone. I need to take a picture ;-)
Bluetooth would be cool because of the handsfree and wirefree headsets.
Bet this
