Is the battery difference big? the touch accuracy is the same? how big is this difference in contrast? I also read that the buttons works on 3rd paty apps for the t62 but not for th c67. Any other difference (wifi, sound, etc)
It would be really helpful for me (I can get T62 for 115 euro and c67 for 100 so price different is not really a big factor).

Before I reply, I need to point out that there's a new T62 version out, known as the T62+ (or T62D). It has a Carta screen and therefore probably better contrast, though as far as I can see, everything else is the same. I have a T62B, with Pearl screen. So, what I say is in reference to the T62B.
First of all, from my experience, there are many similarities. Touch accuracy is about the same. Wifi is about the same. As far as 3rd party apps using the buttons, that, too, is the same for me (at least in the apps I use). I have never used the audio of either one, so I can't speak to that. Both devices have similar CPUs, so performance is very close.
Now, the differences. Battery life is significantly better with the T62, once it is rooted and has a CPU management app installed. You'd expect that, because the T62 has a much larger battery. This also makes the T62 slightly thicker and heavier than the C67, though I wouldn't call the T62 heavy. The T62 has much more room for third party apps ( 1 gb, compared to 350 mb for the C67). The T62 has much more internal storage (8 gb in total, compared to 4 gb in the C67). The main advantage the C67 has is in contrast. My T62 looks a bit faded, like it's been in the sun too long, compared to the C67. Whether that's just my T62, or typical of the T62 (Pearl), I don't know. That makes the C67 better for me for reading. For this reason alone, in spite of the C67's limited battery life and storage space, I find myself using my C67 more. I went through the trouble of installing Link2SD and FolderMount so I could get around the C67's storage limitations and install apps and data on my external sd card.
Your experience may differ. Again, the new T62+ might have better contrast, which would make me use it more if I had it. But, that's what my experience of the T62B has been, compared to the C67 ML.
