I must agree with Jackie. I started using the N82 as from yesterday, and I really do like the keypad especially the figure keys. The buttons to answer and cancel a call would for some people take a little bit of getting used to, but as with most things you do get used to that. What I really like about the phone however is the reproduction of the Eloquence software when using Talks through the speaker. It has a very clear sound. Yes I also agree that the N91 keypad was good, but after a few months the speech on the phone became very distorted and I think there was something wrong with the unit I Had. I then went to the N73. But I do like the N82 a lot!

Couldn't find a N82 anywhere so looked at the successor the N96 and it had to be designed as a joke. Even my wife had problems typing on that tiny keypad. So I've decided to give up the search and switch my contract to pay as you go and wait until reason returns to the designers and more sensible phones come back onto the market. Thanks everyone for your help and comments in this matter.
