Thanks, Jackie, for the additional info on the N86. I'm waiting until it's really accessible with Talks though. Then I don't think there's anything to stop me! ... <Smiles>

Hi Carol I haven't seen the N79 in any depth, only a dummy someone kindly showed me. But the N86 I have seen live, if you see what I mean, and it's a really nice phone. It is a slider, like the N95, where you push up for the keypad, and down for the MP3 controls. All buttons are tactile on it though, and there is a separate key lock on the side. Just adding my thoughts in case you weren't aware of its accessibility.

I reckon Barbara was just unlucky.

Barbara, you liked it well enough but had a problem, right? Steve, why do you like it so much? Does it have all the bells and whistles you would want on a phone, or do you go back to other handsets for various things you want to do? -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ---- Original Message ---- From: Steve Nutt To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 6:13 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: GPS > Hi Ibrahim, > > Yes.
