T68i Bluetooth GPRS Phone...Free?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 11:00 AM
"The T68i has the same slick features as its predecessor (the T68)--most notably Bluetooth technology and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) for mobile Internet connectivity. However, this upgraded version offers more memory and is the first phone to support MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), allowing you to send images, animation, and sound clips in your messages. The advanced T68i also maintains the revolutionary PC-like 256-color graphic interface, making it easy to program most settings without even glancing at the manual."
Regularly priced at $299, with a new service activation on the T-Mobile network, you'll get a $300 rebate, making this phone completely free with activation (affiliate). This is more or less the defacto standard phone for use with Bluetooth-equpped Pocket PCs based on the sheer number of users I've seen that have them.
The Canadian cellular market is so ass-backwards by comparison - even WITH an activation I'd have to pay about $250 US for this phone. I've been watching eBay auctions on this phone trying to get an unlocked version without it costing too much (since I have no cell phone at the moment), and you lucky Americans can get it for free! If anyone has a spare T68i, let me know. :wink:
