[access-uk] Re: Accessible MP3 Players

I've asked in a few phone shops today and they have all told me the
N91 is no longer available.  They recommend the N73 (which I don't
think works with Talks yet, but I might be wrong) or the Nokia 6300
(which doesn't work with Audible Air, and I'm note sure about Talks).

Any other recommendations?
