this really seems to be the BIG question atm.

I got my T68i last October and although I can't say I am "delighted" 
with the phone, the whole bluetooth iSync/remote control your Ti thing 
is really really cool...

My feeling (I don't know much about the reality) is that Apple has cut 
Sony/Ericsson into some kind of iSync deal, although I am sure that 
developers will start to write conduits/APIs for the other bluetooth 
phones out there given time. Of course it won;t be as slick as iSync 
though...

Nokia seem to be conspicously out of the picture atm which is a shame 
because my favourite phones to use were always theirs...

the T68i is quite  a few months old now-- so if i was looking to buy i 
might hang on to see what happens. The GUI usability and speed on the 
phone is the big downside -- and I'm sure Ericsson are aware of this 
and working on it...

However being able to control an MP3 jukebox on your (wireless) laptop 
with a mobile phone is one of the best geek gadgets I've had in a long 
time....

PS Battery life, sound quality  and Bluetooth performance on the phone 
seems great to me.
