MessageI have spoken to Mike Ducksbury at Vodaphone today, he confirmed that vodaphone provide a range of S60 and 80 phones with Talx. You get the phone with the contract you want as normal and they provide it with Talx free. He also confirmed they have purchased a batch of nokia 6600 phones and will be providing them pay as you go with talx for £130 - this offer will be available in a couple of weeks. They will also be showing their products at Sight Village. He particularly recommended the Nokia 6680 with talx which is more expensive but he reports VIPs have found allows them excelent access to a wider range of functions. I have not heard back from Orange yet about whether they are going to offer Talx to existing customers of Wildfire.

All this arises of course out of the Wild Fire being put out, so Orange customers are naturally interested in the alternatives.

With my experience of making enquiries about joining Virgin and, explaining that I couldn't sign up straight away and buy one of their selected phones due to the talx issue. They seem to understand what I meant when I mentioned the talx software. HOwever, if they did sell any phones with talx put on them, they'd have said I've no doubt. I think only Vodafone are the ones that offer talx ready phones. Orange seem clued up on with the talx software, having spoken about it with their customer service on several occasions and, at the Orange shop. If you wanna go with one particular network and don't want vodafone, you'll have to buy talx separately from your phone. Justin ----- Original Message ----- From: James O'Dell Hi Can anyone else clarify what the situation with the various networks and Talx is? I'm thinking of getting a phone with Talx and I'm not sure what the best deal is at the moment. Is it better to buy Talx separately, or can you get it as part of a package with a network? James
