I also had the T68 in the grey Ericsson edition before it was later rebranded to SonyEricsson and the housing turned white. Despite of it's slow user interface, it was a great phone. It was one of the first phones with a joystick as navigation element, a super-light Li-polymer battery and of course it had a COLOUR screen!!!
I still have the wallpaper images, which I resized to fit the T68's display, in order to show my mates the advantages of a colour screen (all participants were over 18 years). Actually I think it was the first real color phone in the market (besides those 4-color displays on the Siemens SL10 and the S25).
