You cannot Tony as Talks is additional software purchased independently and 
then put on a Nokia phone.  It has nothing to do with Nokia or other phone 
manufacturers having to supply it.

  I would also genuinely be interested to know if one could drop in to say a 
high street mobile phone store
    and purchase a Talks-supported nokia off  the shelf (linked to no 
particular provider); I doubt it yet at any rate! 

    Fingers crossed for the future though! 

    Trust that I won't have to clarify this post too! (smile)!

    Tony if I may correct you a little, this has nothing to do with Vodafone 
only offering a few phones with Talks.  Talks works on a certain cymbian 
platform and works best wish phones with tactile keyboards.  However, the Talks 
developers are doing their best to keep up with Nokia and other phone 
manufacturers to provide Talks on touch screen phones.  I think Vodafone are to 
be commended for providing Talks free of charge rather than critising them for 
not providing sufficient types of phones.

      Hi Jackie, 

      As I understand it, Vodafone provide Talks free of charge so consequently 
they pay! 

      Now they are only prepared to offer this on a couple of older phones. 

      I know it's a bit of a pain as you can't have it free from them on say 
newer phones but that's how it is I'm afraid.

        Dear Eleanor,

          The one thing stopping Jackie from buying her own phone would be the
        price.  If you want to purchase a handset without an airtime contract,
        the cost can be prohibitively expensive.  And then she'd have to buy
        and install the TALKS software herself.  A daunting prospect for many
        non-techies,

        John
