This innovative mobile phone emerged during a time when mobile devices were beginning to shift towards more advanced features beyond mere voice calls and text messaging.

One of the standout features of the T68i was its color display, a groundbreaking development for its time. The phone boasted a 101 x 80 pixels LCD screen that could display up to 256 colors, providing users with a more vibrant and engaging interface compared to the monochrome screens that were prevalent before.

Another notable technology integrated into the T68i was Bluetooth. As one of the first phones to include this technology, it enabled users to connect wirelessly to other devices such as headsets, allowing for hands-free communication.
