I was looking for a full description of the N91, with its list of bells and whistles but couldn't seem to find it. Any suggestions? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, December 23, 2006 6:25 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: installing talks 3g On N91 > Hi Carol, > > Anyone can send us a phone with a tenner, if they own Talks, and we will > install it for them.
