The replacement for T39mc... T68i or T610/T618, the one that replaced
T68i, but has to be one that has Chinese language firmware. These are
only available for purchase in applicable Asian places. And note that
there are two Chinese versions, simplified vs Traditional. But you can
have any T68i's firmware flashed to Chinese/English at a charge.
