Ok, I am gonna get a new cell. I have narrowed it down to these two, they both are pretty much the same, except the t68i has bluetooth, what do you think?

P.S. I found out about this gadget here. It seems cool, but I don't know if it only works on Aopen mobos or not, does anyone know? It says it connects to a USB header on the mobo.

7210 for sure...t68i reception sucks...the 7210 is slightly better. However from my experience, (I used to work for AT&T) the siemens S46 or the Motorola T720 are the best for reception

Reception isn't as much of a big deal as features for me, I don't talk all that much on my cell...So 'Features Wise', which would you get. The 7210 also looks like it has wierd key placement.

T68i for me as well. If you don't live out in the boonies, reception is just fine. BlueTooth can't be beat either.

I use my phone in my apartment all the time (Irvine, on-campus UCI grad housing). Plenty of reception with T-Mobile.

I had the t68 for 6 months and it was the WORST phone that i ever had... don't get it. The t68 is really slow and has terrible reception.

I just upgraded to a nokia 7210 and like it so much better. Its much better and the calls are clearer.

This is really close....5-4 nokia is winning. I don't know which to choose, I'm starting to lean towards Sony still though because I noticed the nokia is pretty expensive.

Same experience here. Anytime I walk into a building the t68i's reception drops like a rock. It also sucks in many suburbs.

p.s. I have it on T-Mobile.

My friend's T68i has just crapped out on him. Wouldn't complete any calls, then just refused to work. And it feels like a cheap phone, albeit the hefty price tag.
OTOH, all Nokias that I've had experienced some sort of battery/display problem over time.
