This is a good time to be a cell-phone customer. Six national companies in the U. S. are battling for market share, offering hundreds of minutes at bargain rates, and practically giving away calls on evenings and weekends. And lots of the new phones have color screens. Who cares about color on a phone? Many pooh-pooh it. But when Ericsson launched its color-screened T68 in Europe a year ago, madness ensued. Color-crazed consumers waited in long lines for the phones. Color, it appears, sells. It's especially appealing to people who play games on their handsets. And the T68i, now offered by Sony Ericsson, gives you a U. S. version of Europe's phenomenon. The little tri-band phone can operate in much of the world (minus Japan) and is a gadget lover's dream. Its Bluetooth technology can transmit to a wireless headset. So, if you can pry your eyes from the color screen, you can make calls without even taking the handset out of your purse or briefcase. The T68i sells for $150, when included in a subscription.
