If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked. This is indicated by the message PIN blocked. To unblock it, you need to enter your “PUK” (Personal Unblocking Key). Your PIN and PUK are supplied by your operator.

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.
