Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Ericsson / October 2003t68i doing my head in!
Does anyone else think the t68i menus are far too slow? It seems that almost every time I try to do something, I need to wait for the dam phone to catch up by which time i think its not working and have somehow cancelled the command. The z600 looks like a cracker. Does anyone think that the menu system will be quicker or does anyone have experience of using it? Would love to know when its coming out in the UK & a good vendor (either shop or Internet based) to buy this phone on an unlocked contract (O2 or Vodafone). TIA. >Does anyone else think the t68i menus are far too slow? I had the same complaint with my T68i. The memory or bios or whatever you call it was version R2, the store flashed it with version R7 and it seemed to really help. There was no charge for this, and it took only a few minutes. FWIW. Slim T68i slow is a well known issue. Does anyone else think the t68i menus are far too slow?

I upgraded firmware to R8 and now it is damned fast beast > Does anyone else think the t68i menus are far too slow?

I would get it flashed but I cant be bothered with the hassle as the SE phone backup product is giving me hassle. > > I upgraded firmware to R8 and now it is damned fast beast > > Currently at version R5 and it is no better than the R2 it came with.

Difference was surprising. 2-3 times faster >>> I upgraded firmware to R8 and now it is damned fast beast >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > As I said. I upgraded from R6 to R8. Difference was surprising. 2-3 > times faster I dont doubt it mate, just that the service centre is a good few miles from me and as I said, I am having some problems with getting backup to work on my crappy laptop. Plus I'm hoping to get the Z600 as soon as it comes out so hopefully won't need to do this. Another annoying thing about the t68i (which apart from these two things is a cracking phone IMO), the damn volume button on the side is a poor design feature. There should be another way to adjust the volume but isnt for some reason. First time it stopped working and I took it back and got it repaired, 2nd time I dropped it and they refused to fix it so my volume is permanently stuck on too high - the only solution is to use my bluetooth for all calls but unfortunately that died on me a couple of weeks ago and is back with Celestica getting repaired/replaced. > I upgraded firmware to R8 and now it is damned fast beast How can I upgrade my t68i?

If only you could use a data cable and download and use the software on a PC, which would save even more hassle, still the new P900 can be upgraded over WAP :-). My one warranty runs out in mid-November, so it won't cost me anything |
