Transferring and exchanging information

Bluetooth™ wireless technology

Your phone has built-in Bluetooth wireless technology which makes it possible for you to connect your phone wirelessly to other Bluetooth devices such as a headset, PC or other phones. You can, for example, have a conversation via a cordless Bluetooth headset or browse the Internet, wirelessly connected via a mobile phone. You can automatically synchronize information in your phone and your PC. You can also exchange, for example, business cards, calendar items and pictures.

Note: We recommend that your phone and the Bluetooth device you are communicating with are within a range of 10 metres. The connection may be improved if there are no solid objects in between your phone and the other Bluetooth device.

Before you start

To communicate with another Bluetooth device, you first need to pair your phone with the device – you do this by adding the device to a list of paired devices in your phone. To synchronize with your PC, and to browse the Internet, you also need to install software on your PC from the Sony Ericsson Web site, www.sonyericsson.com. You can exchange items or play games without having to pair your phone with the other device.

Pairing

Pairing is the process of associating Bluetooth devices with each other so that they can connect when they are within range of each other. Your phone can be paired with up to 10 Bluetooth devices. After pairing, the operation mode of your phone is automatically set to On. See “Operation modes” on page 62.

T68i specifications

The Sony Ericsson T68i, launched in 2002, marked a significant milestone in mobile communication technology, blending functionality with a stylish design. 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. This attractive visual upgrade was complemented by a light-responsive design, making it easier to view in various lighting conditions.

The T68i was equipped with a sturdy set of features including SMS and MMS capabilities. Users could send and receive multimedia messages alongside traditional text messages, paving the way for a more interactive communication experience. The phone also supported email functionality, allowing users to stay connected with work and personal contacts on the go.

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. This was particularly important as it marked the beginning of a shift toward wireless peripherals that would eventually become standard in mobile technology.

The phone's design was sleek and compact, with a simple interface that provided easy navigation through its features. The presence of customizable themes allowed users to personalize their experience, making the T68i appealing to a diverse range of consumers.

In terms of battery life, the T68i was robust, providing a talk time of up to 7 hours and a standby time of up to 300 hours. This ensured that users could depend on their device for extended periods without the constant need for recharging.

Overall, the Sony Ericsson T68i was a pioneering device that encapsulated the transition into the modern era of mobile phones. With its combination of a color display, multimedia messaging capabilities, and wireless connectivity, the T68i played a key role in setting the stage for the smartphones that would follow in the years to come. Its legacy lives on as a testament to innovation in mobile technology.
