Ericsson ditched the T36 primarily because it offered nothing that wasn't also available on the R520, which also supports GPRS, a feature lacking on the T36. Might be a little too early to push GPRS, but it could give Ericsson an edge in catering to people that want to buy a new phone, but don't want it to be obsolete in several months.

Still, the R520, assuming that it's not priced too high, might be all that Ericsson has going for it. I read that in England, the R380 costs 480 pounds (about $700). Even most business users will be hesitant to pay that much for a phone.
