Sony Ericsson T68i Review - Storage, Connections and Phone Book

Storage

The T68i comes with over a megabyte of storage for pictures (JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, or WBMP), ring tones, screen savers, themes, and text messages. The pictures and ring tones can be set to contacts in your phone book, so that you can identify your caller.

Connections

On the bottom of the phone you'll find all of the T68i's connectors. Charging your phone, transferring files through data cable connections, and the optional CommuniCam MCA20 camera accessory are connected here.

On the top right, you'll find a infrared port for transferring files to the T68i. You can use the T68i as a wireless modem for a notebook with its infrared and Bluetooth features.

As mentioned previously, the T68i also comes with Bluetooth wireless technology. This makes it possible to transfer images to another phone, and connect wirelessly to headsets, PCs, or other Bluetooth-equipped peripherals.

The Phone Book Menu allows you to store 510 entries in the T68i! And that's without the SIM card phone book. Aside for the large capacity, the versatility of the T68i lets you assign individual 93 x 62 px pictures, unique ring tones, and voice commands to the contacts. When your contact calls, their picture shows up on the phone.

You can also combine contacts together and add ring tones, and personalized settings to the group. You may also add, edit, delete, search on the SIM and link a picture to each contact. Overall we were very pleased with the customizability and functions Ericsson has come to be known for. The only drawback we encountered was the lack of an address book. An address book would eliminate the need to bring along a PDA.
