Hrmpf... To each their own, I guess. I tried a whole bunch of phones, and
like the T68i best.

Phone Book -> Options -> Contact info, then select the categories you want
shown in the Phone Book. For some reason, email is not shown by default. It
was on the T68m.

They're really Ericsson phones, not Sony... And Ericsson phones have had
convoluted menu structures for as long as I can remember. Indeed, the
Samsung A300 I had before the T68 was much better in this regard, but
Samsung phones lack interface options. The A300 at least had IrDA, but
they've removed that, too, in later models. No Bluetooth in sight on them,
either.

My other peeve with the T68i is that the interface is a tad slow, but I have
heard that a firmware upgrade (R2 -> R3) will cure that. I just haven't
gotten 'round to having it done (again).
