I have to disagree there, my t68 has always been a solid, reliable phone, unlike my Nokia 7110 of which I had three before I got one that worked. I refuse to buy a motorola, I had nearly a dozen startac's before I could convince orange to change me to a nokia 6110 free of charge. The shortest time I had a startac was two hours before it started powering itself off, a total POS.
I've recently had my 68 reflashed to 68i firmware and really noticed the difference. SMS is quick and so is wap browsing. I'll probably go for another ericsson as i've been so impressed with this one. Maybe you got a bad one hugo? I can certainly attest to that...
