We were discussing the keys and how prominant they are Alex, not whether one could text or not. I did say that really anyone looking for a specific phone would do well to get their hands on the one they have in mind as these phones are very expensive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Stone" <alex.stone@xxxxxxxxx>

While I do not own an N 86 I did go to a store to have a look at one when they first came out and I did not like the number pad at all as it actually reminded me of the N 96 and I certainly got those fatiguing signs whensending text messages which I could write very quickly. Do not get the same problem with N 95.

I have an N95 here too, and the keys are more prominent on the N86, they are larger, or they feel it to me, and one can text with great speed.

The keys are larger and flatter, being more oval shaped rather than the thin strip keys on the N95. This can be more difficult to handle and a strain on the wrist, but I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker. I love my N86 and it's even better after the most recent firmware update to v30. I'm happy to assist with any N86 queries as I become ever more familiar with it. All the best, _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

The N86 is far from flat, and better than your N95 in fact.

I don't at present need OCR, but could ... However, I know that people are saying the keys are much flatter on the N86 and this is a little concerning to me, since I really loved the feel of the more prominent keys on the old Nokia 6630. I'm therefore wondering if anyone lives in the Reading area with an N86 I could take a look at, since I don't seem to be finding one available in any shops. I appreciate this is a long shot and not really altogether Talks related ... but please spare me this once and I won't prolong the thread. You only need to reply personally to me if you think I can see your N86 without travelling too far.
