Hi Steve,
 
Have given it a bit more thought and will probably go with the 6630 (?)
- but will look at deals etc.

Hi Andrew,
 
Well the size is certainly smaller than your N-Gage.  It is more like
the size of the 3650 if you have seen it, perhaps a bit thicker.  It
would certainly do what you want, though I don't know about the battery
life, as I only saw it for about an hour.  But if making calls and the
odd text is all you want, then it's probably fine, though the speech
quality is vastly inferior to that of Talks.
 
All the best

        Hi Steve,
         
        Do you know anything about the battery life and the relative
size on this phone?  One thing I have an issue with my N-Gage is the
fact it is quite large, plus the battery drains very quickly, thus I was
thinking of one of these phones.  Will I be disapointed, I only use the
N-Gage for ringing and text messages?
         
        Andrew.

        Hi Steve,
         
        Depends on what features you want.  If you want a bog standard
mobile phone, then it's OK, though I don't rate the speech very highly
at all.  It's a kind of Spanglish, English-cum-Spanish.  Text messages
may be a little hard to hear, though I only saw it at RNIB for about an
hour.  But it does the basics very well, and certainly has some
interesting ringtones.  What you won't get is a display, so sighted
people won't be able to help you, you won't be able to transfer ring
tones from your PC, as you have no Bluetooth, and in fact, you won't be
able to download ring tones either, as you have no way of communicating
with the phone.  But if all you want to do is to ring mum or dad, or the
hospital, it's fine, though 300 quid is a little steep I would suggest.
         
        I hope this helps a little.
         
        All the best

                Hi list, 
                 
                Have any of you yet used the Owasys 22C mobile phone?
I'd like to know what you think and, is it worth getting. 
                 
                Steve
