Jackie,

The problem I have is our Sky broadband is locked, and my phone never
gets to the point of asking for the security code.

My wife's i phone does, and works fine.

Cheers

Regards

Dave Ankers

Hi Dave

I haven't tried the IPhone at all.

Yes, I can connect my N91 8GB to my Sky broadband successfully, but
haven't done so for a good while now.

Hi Jackie,

Have you tried Voice over on an i phone yet?

My wife has one and I'm going to give it a go.

Are you using Sky broadband ?

I have tried, unsuccessfully to connect my N91 8GB to my Sky broadband.
Do you know if it is compatible?

Hope you are well.

Cheers

Regards

Hi Carol

I haven't seen the N79 in any depth, only a dummy someone kindly showed
me.  But the N86 I have seen live, if you see what I mean, and it's a
really nice phone.  It is a slider, like the N95, where you push up for
the keypad, and down for the MP3 controls.  All buttons are tactile on
it though, and there is a separate key lock on the side.

Just adding my thoughts in case you weren't aware of its accessibility.

It's going to be a toss up for me between the N79 and N86.  Unlike
Steve, I won't be having both!
