Steve? Wow am I not with these newer phones then... in your own opinions, Steve, what's the best phone available now? my contract runs out in Feb, and I want a new phone, fed up with this one. Looking for some advice really. I don't play music or books on my phone, so not worried about stuff like that. just want a small net little phone, clearly defined buttons, nice ringtones, (do you ever get nice ringtones?) good clear speaker for talks, (even though now got Braille), would like gps, but not sure about using that, as I've never had that feature before. I currently have N73, and don't ever use half the features on it. any ideas? or am I a tuff customer. *smiles* Thanks Elaine All outgoing messages are scanned by Avast ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Nutt To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2008 5:05 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: n82 Hi Neil, No, but I do use it for audio books, and N82 is way better than the N95 for audio books.

Yes in certain cases it proves useful, but in most cases you've got access to a real music system.

The N95 has too much treble for me. They are both good phones though and there is little in it. But the battery life on the N82 is far better.

The N95 also has the disadvantage of being a slide phone, thus more susceptible to damage and wear and tare effects over time. I agree though about the music through the loud speakers, but being blunt, if you're buying a phone as a substitute for a HiFi or Stereo system there's something wrong! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barbara Wilson Sent: 14 November 2008 19:14 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: n82 I have owned an N82, though not an N95 but I have had a play with one. I think the N82 feels cheap and plasticy in comparison to the N95. And the sound of music on the N95 was better.

N95 is excellent though others would say the N82.

I wondered if by any chance talks was known to be a problem with this phone or if ive just been unlucky. The first few phones wouldnt send text messages now the latest replacement wont forward a message.
