Oh Andy! how could you? Look I could be so wide of the mark here it isn't true, but I reckon that software is going to be on more than just the N82 within a few months, and I have absolutely no inside info on that, other than a logical hunch.

Hi Jackie -Yep, I have the N91, and an excellent phone it is! and I might well keep itanyway, but I'm looking at the N82 quite seriously, because of the KNFB reader. Of course, I might well sell my N91 for the right price <smile> - Andy----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <cairnsplace@xxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 10:30 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Phone contracts with O2 | Hi Andy || So are you thinking of abandoning the N91 then?
