I too was disappointed with the T68i's performance and considered upgrading
to the T610/T616...until reading this review:

Now I'm a VERY happy Z600 user. I don't know if any US or Canadian carriers
are offering it yet, but I got an unlocked one from gsmphonesource.com,
where the price continues to fall ($399.99 US today).

Following up on another post of a few weeks ago though, I have NEVER been
successful in getting any iCal events to synch up to either my T68i or my
Z600 using iSynch. Address Book synching is flawless.
