Hi Matt, Yep, you're wrong. Apart from the lack of Xenon flash, and a little less memory, the N79 has a better audio subsystem. For example, you don't have to mute Talks when going through ring tones. Talks sounds even better on it. It is a nice phone, and even more responsive than the N82. The down side, as I say for me, is the lack of Xenon flash.

But as I understand it, the N79 is basically the same as the N82 which is why I didn't elect to take that from T-mobile. In fact if anything, the reviews I've read about it online indicate its slightly less powerful than the N82. As I already have an N82, I didn't think the N79 was worth it. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Hi Matt, The N97 won't be supported not only because it is touch, but because it is Symbian Fifth Edition, not Third. Fifth will only be supported when there are more than one or two phones that use it I would imagine. The N79 is a lovely phone. I know Barbara will disagree, but I have had mine a week and it is great. Wifi works fine on my one. N86 is going to be a good phone when it is out, but if you depend on operators, you may be unlucky. I always say the best way to buy a phone is Sim-Free. Then it is unbranded, and not tampered with by the operator. Expensive yes, but you usually get a better phone. Having said that, I got my N79 with T-Mobile, simply because they offered it to me for free.

Hi, I've just checked with T-mobile in the UK and they aren't going to be getting the N86 sadly. It also doesn't look as if they'll be getting the N97. I still can't decide which phone to get! Someone said that the N85 is also compatible with Talks but it isn't in the list of phones published by Nuance. I only hope the N86 will be because the list of accessible phones that are new or current is getting thinner, has anyone else noticed that? I know Nokia are bringing out more touch-screen phones, and obviously they're out for us, but there isn't really a sensible alternative to Talks on a Nokia. The Windows based phones crash all the time, and the Mobile Speak system isn't the best in the World, what are we going to do? I hear that the N97 is unlikely to be supported by Nuance because it integrates a touch screen as well, but according to Nokia the phone is completely accessible via the qwerty keyboard so the touch screen isn't necessary. I wonder if Nuance will rethink that one. Just interested in what other people think. I had a look at the E71 and absolutely hate it! The keyboard on it is completely stupid! Matt
