Short review of my new Sony Ericsson T68i
I bought this phone on a plan when my old trusty Motorola failed on me.
I was looking for a phone that had a few more “useful” features. I did not need a FM radio as my MP3 player works fine. I did not need a camera as my Fuji FinePix 2800 is wonderful. What I did need was a cut down organiser.
As anyone who knows me will say, I am not the most organised person in the world. I forget names, dates, birthdays, meetings etc. So when I saw that this little phone was on a special plan, and it had reasonable alarm, appointment and contact management features I was impressed.
Then I found the Bluetooth!!! and I had to buy an adapter for my work laptop (much to the frustration of my lovely wife). Well what a God send! This was great, all my outlook and Notes contacts and appointments synchronised with my phone. Alarms 5-15 minutes before the time, all the contact details I could wish for.
However not all is good, getting the Bluetooth adapter working was a chore. Eventually after scouring the web I found that if I loaded the TDK drivers (no matter the brand of my adapter) things went well. I am still to learn how to get my laptop to NOT advertise itself as a headset though. Now that had me stumped for several hours… no matter what I did I could not talk on my phone if I was near my laptop. 🙂
