Hi,

I'm interested in getting a Sony Ericcson T68i.  The local shops have it
for $400 cash purchase, but I'm not eligible for a handset upgrade credit
yet since I only recently got a handset (last year when my phone was stolen).

Rather than pay full price, is there a reliable place I could get one
cheaper?  How much do you think I could get it for used from someone?

Thanks all.

Hi,

The price is right... but I don't know anything about this vendor. No
store front, address, etc.  Broken links and a forum that was started in
October 2000 yet has no posts.

Can anyone tell me anything about this site?

Thanks again..

This one should be reliable... as per posters on this NG.  Do a search.

The vendor has a Toronto address -- if you live in the area,
you can pick it up.  I cannot vouch for the vendor, since I
have not made any purchases from him.

I can vouch for www.expansys.us -- they sell the T68i for
approx. $272 Cdn.  However, it'll cost almost $50 Cdn for
shipping (brokerage included) from Bloomington Illinois.

Another Cdn vendor:

These guys will do C.O.D.

Thanks guys.  It's hard enough doing an internet search for vendors (most
places seem to be spammy sites or just plain suspicious), this helps a lot.

They have a Toronto  phone number, but no physical address.  At least,
not one that's available to customers.  I just called them, and was
told that ordering is phone and web-based only, and the purchases are
shipped.  

They do, however, accept credit card, certified cheque, money order
and C.O.D. as payment methods, so that's a bonus.  And you can't
really beat the price on the T68i, I don't think.

I've seen their address (somewhere on Spadina Ave.) on the
website in the past but, obviously, they have decided to
remove it.  It's unfortunate that they will no longer let
you purchase a phone in person (I had read on Howards Forums
that this vendor would even let you try out the phone first)
-- this would be enough for me to want to pass on them.

You're better off with a Siemens S55... SE is crap.

Hmm, I'll think about it :)  I'm still not 100% certain I want the phone.
I'll contact you soon if I decide to go for it.

As for the other response: Yes, I like the S55 too, but the application I
have in mind specifically requires a Sony-Ericsson bluetooth phone, and
I can't afford the T610.

Huh?  The S55 is a bluetooth phone.  However, transferring
out calls from the handset to a SE bluetooth headset was a
pain in the neck (I believe the SE T610 also had similar
problems).  I'm hoping that the new SE HBH-65 (soon to be
released) will correct that.

I'm really interested in seeing what Salling Clicker can do, yes!

I especially like the idea of proximity detection.... have my computer start
playing my music or something when I walk in the room... too cool ;)
