Launche in time for the 2001 Christmas season, the candy bar-style Ericsson T68 was the first mobile phone made by Ericsson to have a colour screen, a passive LCD-STN with a resolution of 101x80 and 256 colours. Despite its diminute size (3.94x1.89x0.79 in or 100x48x20 mm, 2.96 oz or 84 g), it was one of the most feature-rich mobile phones at the time, with Bluetooth, IrDA port, GPRS 3+1, tri-band compatibility (900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz), SMS with T9 (predictive text), EMS, WAP, and customizable monophonic ring tones. At its release, the phone cost around € 500, in either two-tone grey or all-gold.
