Joystick navigation
The T68i has an easy-to-use 5-directional
joystick function. Using finger or thumb, you can
easily navigate the new T68i menu system. When
you arrive at the required function in a menu,
instead of pressing Yes, just gently press the
joystick and the feature is activated. The T68i
MMI is adapted for easy joystick navigation.
Bluetooth wireless technology
The T68i is among the first mobile phones on the
market with built-in Bluetooth wireless
technology. Using this reliable and secure
connection, the T68i can communicate with your
Bluetooth headsetormobilecomputerviaa
radio link instead of a cable, when the two
devices are within 10 metres of each other.
Unlike infrared, Bluetooth wireless technology is
not dependent on line-of-sight communication.
With a Bluetooth headset, wherever your phone
is when it rings, you can answer it. The phone
can be in your briefcase, your coat pocket or
even in another room.
Two or more mobile phones with Bluetooth
wireless technology can exchange data such as
images, business e-cards, ring signals, contacts,
notes and calendar data. It is also possible to
play interactive games between phones. You
could be at a meeting with your laptop open in
front of you and a new e-mail message is
displayed on the screen. In this case, your T68i,
which could be in your briefcase under the table,
has received an e-mail message and passed it
on to your laptop by way of a Bluetooth
connection.
GPRS
GPRS uses Internet-style packet based
technology. It lets you be permanently
connected to the mobile Internet, but only uses
the radio link for the duration of time that it
transfers data. GPRS offers the user the speed
needed for satisfactory mobile Internet usability.
The T68i supports GPRS 3+1.
More in-phone functions
E-mail
The T68i is one of the first mobile phones on the
market with a built-in fully functional e-mail
client. With inbox, outbox, save draft and reply
options, you have all the functions you need for
effective e-mail communication in a small and
powerful mobile phone. Constantly connected to
a POP3, SMPT or IMAP4 e-mail server anywhere
on the Internet, your T68i stores messages
(without attachments) dynamically, depending on
available memory, and updates your inbox
automatically and over the air. Check your e-mail
anywhere. Reply to e-mail on the move. Friends,
family and business contacts know that when
they send you e-mail, you receive it and can read
it and act on it immediately. You can include
pictures in outgoing e-mails, but not receive
attachments. Hyperlinks in e-mails are
supported.
Enhanced voice control
Lets you dial, answer, reject, change profiles and
usea“magicword”toactivatevoicecontrol.
Instead of having to press a sequence of keys to
activate voice control, you simply say a user-
defined word or phrase and the voice control
function is automatically activated. You can also
redial a number by simply saying “redial”.
EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service)
You can send text, pictures and sounds in easy-
to-create and fun messages. EMS has been
adopted by several leading mobile phone
manufacturers, making it possible for T68i users
to send enhanced text messages to users of
other makes of mobile phones. EMS makes it
possible for the user to use text formatting (style,
size, alignment and paragraphs) in a text
message. At purchase there are several pre-
defined images and animations in the T68i.
Predictive Text Input Software
Text messaging with your T68i is made easier
than ever with the introduction of predictive text
input software. Instead of having to press keys
several times for a letter, software in your T68i
chooses from a dictionary of words and phrases
and anticipates what word or phrase you are
writing, giving your mobile phone keyboard ease
of use comparable to that of a full-size keyboard.
Screen saver and sleep mode
The screen saver is activated when the phone
has been idle for 26 seconds. There is a pre-
