Damon,

 

Web and Email work now with Talks.

 

As far as I know only the Internet Radio and Help doesnt' work.  I say only,
those folks need to pull their finger out.  The phones bene out since last
July/August.

 

I've got one and do like it.  I use mudio which as online station
selector/app for the phone.  Not a great selection but OK.

 

My one complaint is lack of Flash, and your trusty BBC Iplayer app doesnt'
work with Talks.

 

Other than that it's a lovely little phone.  I use mine for Podcasts, bit of
gmail email, FM Radio, Twitter, Skype, a step counter for when out walking,
light sabor, calls, lol, texts, audible, just wish it had flash as could use
it on sites like tvcatchup.com then it would be a portable telly.

 

Battery life is decent, USB charging as well as AC all be it witha USB
chipped interface on one end and an AC Plug ont he other.

 

Keys are nice and tactile in my opinion, slider is very smooth , unlike the
n91.

 

Decent audio for books or Podcasts via it's stereo speakers.  Bit annoying
that you hav eto take the back off to put the micro SD card in but at least
you dont' need to power it off.

 

Off to watch Eastenders!

Subject: [access-uk] Nokia N86 fans, help me?

 

Hi there. 

Continuing my research into phones. Am beginning to conclude I should be
getting hold of a Nokia N86 for my needs. 

I seem to remember some discussion here a while ago about how Talks couldn't
give access to web browsing or perhaps email. Was this resolved in a later
version of Talks? Is it a perfectly accessible phone now?

And how does it compare to the C5? Is that fully functioning with Talks now?


Thanks
