After reading all pros and cons, I need some feedback from you guys: Samsung S105 or SE T68i ?

s105 of course. Compare a 256 color screen vs a 65,000 one!?!? t68i has many features but you would probably be willing to give the features up for better RF

If you are willing to spend the money, get a gd87. Great RF, big 65K color display, direct midi support, mms, email, IR and plenty more. If you are on AT&T you can get the GU87 which includes the latest firmware, otherwise it is the same with only some minor features that are required in the USA

This is what i think...What are you going to do with a 65k screen? Is it worth 1-2 days of battery life (thats how long mine lasted) rather than a week from the T68i? Do you want or will you use voice commands and voice features? Do you prefer flip phones...or are you lazy like me...Yes, lazy enough that you cant even flip a damn phone open to answer a call like me

hehehe. Are you willing to put up with crappy RF at certain times? Do you want BT, or are you ever going to use it? I recommend that you devise a list of questions like these based on each of the phones features, and do a side by side comparison some how. At the top of my list, i would have price, but if thats not an issue, do what i said before...make a list of questions like the ones above. Good Luck

thanks guys for your input. For some reason I think I'll grab T68i (free from Amazon with +$35 plan) - also, heard good reviews about T-mobile. But price alone isn't such an issue. I just wonder why would Samsung phones are supposedly so much better on RF - does anyone know? So far, lots of good reviews on SE with some notable bad ones, as well. There isn't anything grey about SE - it's either love or hate. I don't like flip phones and those scary tonka tunes on Samsung phones are a definite turn-off. Well, now with Samsung 205 in the game - the battle is raging on = 'I used to be uncertain, but now I'm not so sure...'

I'm in this same boat... I wish the T68i didn't have these reception issues, otherwise I think it would be the perfect phone...

any other opinions on this choice between the T68i and the S105? Thanks!

i loved the t68m when i first got it. it had so many features, esp. battleship. it had everything i wanted, i liked the look, nice color, and a camera option that sometime i would have liked to use. no polyphonic tones, but i coud live w/o that. the thing i couldn't live w/o was good reception...in my area (a college campus) rf isn't strong everywhere and it was just frustrating having to find places and way to prop my phone to get reception.

t68i was improved over the t68m, but not enough

I have an S105 now. Everything i needed (don't need bluetooth), nice nice screen, polyphonic tones, and GREAT rf. only thing i wish was that it could use a camera, but i can survive w/o it.

if the camera is important, i'd look at the moto t720i. i had one of those and really liked it...when i signed up w/ t-mobile, i heard the s105 was supposed to be better so i went w/ it. i'm happy w/ it, but i miss the moto
