Urm I think that maybe you can look at other brands too... If I had the choice I will actually look for a Japanese phone... In build camera and somemore 3G. Anyway I think that you sell the T65 and in the mean time look at other phone and compare what function in the phone you want. I used all kinds of phones before, but I think that the T39 is good as the battery life is long and also it is light. But there also other phones in the market that you may like. Ei sorry to those who are Sony Ericsson supporters, I just think that different phones have their advantages and disadvantages...

I got my T65 unlocked by asking Virgin to give me the unlock code. They do this providing £30 of credit has been added to your account.

determine if you really need the other stuff you mentioned. you have bluetooth but do not use it, i think it's just a waste coz you have no use for it. the t65 is a good phone that's why i got one. i only use mine for making and recieving calls, for text messages too most importantly for wap. tha's all that i need.

Well I took back the t65 and kept the sim card. I made £30 out of Virgin because of the deal I had at the time I am still looking for a mobile but I have a nokia 5510 atm which is fun because of the built in mp3 player. I still dunno what phone to get but it won't be the t68/i because they cost way too much. I will probably get a t39 I tried my mates and the phone rocks!

There is another way.

I recently bought a T68 on a contract from the Carphone Warehouse, because I wanted an Orange contract - and Orange didn't offer the T68i. I also thought the T68 looked better than the T68i, was cheaper by at least 50 quid - and had identical hardware features to the T68i.

But each of us has individual preferences; your mileage may vary.

Anyway, the staff at the Carphone Warehouse pointed something very sneaky out to me. Had I gone for a low-cost tarriff, I would have had to stump up 200 quid for the phone - plus the contract. But if I went for a high-cost tarriff, I would not only be able to get the phone at a knock-down price (half-price, actually - and even less, once I traded in my previous 2.5-year old brick) - but I could change tarriffs all the way down to a lowly £12.99 per month payment instead.

Of course, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that substantial money could be saved this way. If you get a 50 quid trade-in for your old phone (with charger and manuals) - you only end up paying 50 quid for the phone, about 25-30 quid for the first month of the contract - then £12.99 for the remaining 11 months. You could end up paying as little as £217.89 (including the up-front costs) over a year.

Given that a new T68 on its own costs nearly 300 quid, that's some saving. Not to mention the fact that you get all the inclusive-minutes benefits of a contract, too.

There is only one caveat I would advise people to watch out for. I did not go for the £12.99 contract with Orange, because it did not include any insurance for the phone. Instead, I went for the £17.50 Talk 60 tarriff, because it included insurance. Don't get me wrong - I'm not a careless person. I have never lost a mobile phone before, or had it stolen from me. But there was some reassurance that my old brick was so big by today's mobile phone standards, that any self-respecting thief that saw it was more likely to point and laugh, than to actually try and steal it. This arrangement has suited me perfectly up until now, but the T68 is a different kettle of fish. The Orange and Carphone Warehouse staff both commented that it was a "highly desirable" phone, and to me that can only mean bad news. Mobile phone crime is still rife, and I believe it's better to be safe than sorry. So I got the insurance.
