Hi Clare,and all, I bought a Nokia C5 six weeks ago and I have nearly mastered it,and I love it to bits ,and wish that another good friend of yours and mine would learn to use hers ,it is so easy to send and receive texts ,this is the best thing,but I also have about six hours of my favourite music that seems to play all day without charging it up ,and even that only takes about an hour from a flat battery not like my old Oasis 22 c and one can send really long messages too. So I recommend the Nokia c5 and think it worth trying,and even with clumsy hands like mine I find the buttons are ok.

Well I will have your share of the mushy peas then. Sounds good to me. Oh that's so cool you met Lynn at guide dogs it's such a small world for sure. I'm very glad Lynn got me in touch with Sarah. Well Lynn and I used to be in touch but we lost contact when I moved house and I lost some email addresses when we changed our internet service which was a shame so would love to be in touch with her again. Well good luck with getting a talking phone. How cool they will put the talks on it for free so all you have to do is find what phone is best for you. I have the Nokia N86. It's a good phone with reasonable size buttons. I have the talks on it so can send and receive texts. I wouldn't be without it now it's a lifeline just like my computer and I love texting. Well enjoy the peace while it lasts much needed for you I'm sure. Have a good weekend. We have no plans but that's ok with me. Love Clare
