in vim when i am in insert mode (i) i hit backspace
instead of deleting (as it allways did) it adds blue '^?' to the text
whats up with it ?

Try adding something like this to your .vimrc and see if it helps:
" Make backspace act normal
set backspace=indent,eol,start
I have a feeling this won't help, but it's worth a try.

Sounds like a termcap/terminfo issue, or possibly some other terminal setting.
Similar things happened to me a while ago with some boxes at work, and using screen:

I also have this issue but only in tty's... my .vimrc's have 'set backspace=indent,eol,start'

I essentially agree with cactus.
It's definitely not an issue with Vim itself (or your Vim configuration). Your terminal is misinterpreting your input.
I want to say that the issue could involve /etc/inputrc, but I could be wrong. I think that there are ways to configure input interpretation per-terminal-app.
The shell you're using could also be playing a part (though I'm not sure if that could affect the behavior inside Vim). If I remember correctly, using bash instead of the given default ksh solved the issue (at least partially) for me on one machine.
