Hi Dave,
I can't describe to you every phone, but you can check them out on the Nokia
web site.
But not all of them have tactile keyboards, but then again, neither does the
iPhone.
The N97 and N97 Mini have tactile QWERTY keyboards, for example, but the X6
does not.
All the best
Steve

Hi
What do you mean the calendar works fairly well Steve? And of those phones,
what has good reception, what has good audio, do any of them have a tactile
keyboard and what is it like, etc. Keyboards have varied so much that just
saying quite good doesn't really help as different people like different
styles.
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,
There are quite a few phones now that work with Talks quite well. The N97,
the N97 Mini, the 5530, the 5800 Express, to name a few.
They are all unfortunately touch screens. One of the best phones is the X6
for touch, as it has a capacitive screen, which is like the iPhone. It
accepts swipes, double taps, triple taps, etc.
All I am saying is, it is not only the iPhone that works with touch. Both
Talks and MS work quite well.
On all the above mentioned phones, Email works well, and the calendar works
pretty well. I don't like the calendar on the iPhone either, as it always
takes you to the first calendar entry you have when you go in, not to today.
So even on the iPhone, I don't think the calendar works that well.
All the best
Steve

Well, I must say Mr Nut, nobody seems to be able to tell me about Symbian
phones, IE which ones actually work well with Talks now, including Email,
the browser and calendar, and what kinds of keyboards they have. We know
everything works on the iPhone and that new aps are coming out all the time,
many of which are also accessible. I for one am seriously considering the
switch, though I do want to see the iPhone in action at the BCAB Sight
Village Plus event, details of which are at www.bcab.org.uk
I hope somebody has a good selection of modern phones on their stand and can
comment as you always used to Steve, but I think we'd all be interested in
basic descriptions of phones and how well they work with talks, if anybody
can send them!
Cheers
Dave
