Ahhh Robin ...

You dangle desireable gizmos in front of us.  As the user of an Ericsson
T68m 900/1800/1900 Hz GSM/GPRS/UMTS handset that is exactly what I'd love
to have in my S6.

That's it!  I need an A8 or S8 ...  the T68 includes Bluetooth,
so the Audi Gods must be trying to tell me something ... ??

For what it's worth, the Audi Rings .gif that's on my web page
for the Ericsson T39m works just fine on the T68m.  Now, I need to
redo it to have the phone display the Audi Sport logo in red with
the 4 rings superimposed on it  :-)
