Well of course some of these phones were lost (2) abnd one I paid the £150 for Talks Premium. Finally the last phone with the Talks transfer, I would not have had to do that only I found from this list that everyone who seemed to have an E7 could access the Internet except myself, yet I had the same firmware and Talks latest as they did. Now had a Talks dealer helped me with the issue which I raised a number of times on the list (see arkieves), then I would never have had Talks on phone No 10!!!

Nuance do not later pay kick backs to dealers who have to help standard clients with issues, so its a simple matter of economics.

I can say with personal experience. I first got my Talks free of charge from Vodafone over 3 years ago and have never looked back. By now I must have had Talks transferred to several handsets over that time which would never have happened otherwise so certainly my contribution over the years of a mere five hundred pounds, not a lot in business terms, but nevertheless, five hundred pounds which went to Talks/Nuance. I am sure there are others in the same situation that I was and upgraded.

so, my apologies as I have said to Mark, its £50 for the upgrade across the board.
thanks.

Great it is all nsettled now though and that Neil has been informed of the misunderstanding. I hope the potential customer reads this and maybe will return to TalkNav for the upgrade from Vodafone standard. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil Barnfather - TalkNav" <forums@xxxxxxxxxxx>

However, as I've now discovered and several have advised me on this list, the standard Talks version will not work on the Nokkia browser when going on-line to the internet, although Talks works with all the other phone functions such as contacts and texting etc.
I have been in touch with the technical services at talknav.com, who now advise me I need to spend £150 buying Talks and having the premium version. I then understand if I want to upgrade to a new mobile phone in the future I will only have to spend £50.
Vodafone have said they will put £50 of credit on my account but I suspect will not go to £150, so I'm left with either trying another model of hone with the free version of Talks from Vodafone or considering an Iphone with the built in accessibilities.
Has anyone else been in this situation and what other mobile phones are people using on the internet with a speech programme?
Thanks Mark mobile in the future I will only need to
