Hi.

Nokia 6260, 6630, 6670, 7610 and the Panasonic X700, are the new ones.  We
will also be shortly supporting the Nokia 9500, which is a beautiful phone,
if a little large, but it is smaller than the old communicator.  I love it
though, because it does everything, except make the tea.  Connection options
are staggering, with Infrared, USB, Bluetooth, GPRS and Wireless LAN all
built right into the unit.  How many laptops can boast that kind of
connectivity built-in?  And it is a quarter of the size of any laptop I have
ever seen.

I am really looking forward to full Talks support, but we are getting there.
I think release will be in a couple of months, but don't quote me on it at
this stage <Smile>.

As for GPS, the Fortuna Clipon GPS receiver seems to be one of the best, and
it certainly works well with Wayfinder.



All the best

  Hi Gordon,

  Just to add to what has already been said, I think the only phone from
your list is the 7610.  Not sure if you saw any recent posts regarding
compatible phones, but bear in mind that you can also use Talks with the new
6670, 6260 and there's another one which I can't remember at the moment
smiles.  I'm sure Steve will come in with a comre comprehensive list though.
Certainly with the 7610 and the 6260, you can use GPS with the additional
Sat receiver and Wayfinder I think it's called.  The GPS side is something
I'm very interested in myself and would like some more info.

  Regards.

  Steve

    Hi

    I'm looking for advice on what software is available to make any of the
following phones accessible. (I'm thinking of joining Orange who also have
Wildfire) Any advice will be helpful, including which might be good with
Global Positioning and use like a PDA or Communicator. Also is there
something which allows you to use the camera function to tell you colours?)

    Nockia 6610i
    Nockia 6230
    Nockia 7610

    Thanks.

    Gordon McFarlane
