Hi Marie, No that's not a silly question at all - a very good point. Personally I use the Communicator, and on that Talks only works with the PDA part of the phone, which means the phone is open and on a speaker when Talks is going. I don't know how it works with other phones though, and I hope someone who uses one answers because I'd like to know too...
