Sony Ericsson phone by ryxdp on 12-26-2006 at 08:30 AM
This xmas I got my dad's outdated Ericsson junkpile. I have two questions about it. (Q1 requires you to see the picture)
1. What is the model number/etc.???? I've looked on the back behind the battery and everything and googled some of the codes on it but I can't figure out what the model number is. The closest to a model number to me would be the alphanumeric "N173"
2. I did not get a USB cable with it (my dad says when it was in his possession the usb cables were pricey) but i did notice an ir port on the side. can this act as a way of communications between phone and pc? or is it just for bluetooth headsets and that.

For the second one, it will be for communicating with a PC or another mobile. you cannot use bluetooth with ir (they are two different technologies, both used for communicating between devices but in different ways).
Maybe search through the phones on http://www.sonyerricson.com for you phone, you might get lucky and find it.

I originally tried that, actually. only shows the K1800i or whatever series, plus all the rest. I'm starting to think that once a phone is outdated, all mention of it is deleted.
It's like the internet has a mind of its own

Are you sure it's actually a Sony Ericsson? Ericsson were making phones long before they merged with Sony, and I think that is one of those older phones. In that case you won't have much luck finding your model on the SE site.
EDIT: It's the Ericsson T68, later known as Sony Ericsson T68i. Here is a image of it, and I would say it's a match?
EDIT2: According to Wikipedia, it has Bluetooth =/ Mabye that is only on the updated SE one?

It does have bluetooth & infared - And i can confirm it is the T68i

Looks exactly like it, but the speaker holes are in a different pattern.
Does that matter?
EDIT: yes, mine has bluetooth.
T68 sounds familiar to me actually...
So can I actually use the IR port as an alternative communications instead of a USB cable?

The one in the Image Vilkku posted is The Ericson Version.
