Yeah, all of the new Sony Ericsson styled phones work and look much better than the old Ericsson ones.
Apparently getting the firmware upgraded does solve most of the problems I've had with it. It's just finding a place near me that actually has the proper hardware is the problem. A few people I know have the T68i and they've pretty happy with it, there is the odd crash but they've both got very old firmware revisions.
I was going to wait and get the Ericsson P800 but it will probably be even more expensive than the Nokia 7650 and I'll have to wait months for Orange to get around to offering it if they even decide to.
