George, forgotten it? Nokia? Yeah right (hahaha). Like you, I'm sure that anyone needing either phone with TALKS will get it soon. But did you notice the difference in price? Quite substantial which probably has something to do with the camera. Certainly food for thought for one soon to be 17-year-old though, pest that he is (smiles).

Or perhaps they've forgotten it. Personally, now that I have the N95 myself, I'd stay with that, if only because of the 5 megapixel camera. The speech side (Talks, etc..) will I am quite sure be resolved in the very near future.

It strikes me there are two things about the N81 8GB that seem to differ from the N95 8GB version. Firstly, the N81 refers to micro SD cards which the N95 8GB doesn't use I believe. Secondly, the camera on the N81 is a lot less than the N95, the latter being 5M as opposed to the N81's 2M. The N81 also seems to be more multimedia driven for gaming etc, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper on an unlocked basis on that website.

Although it's listed, it doesn't appear in the current list.

Our son is looking for a good music phone with large storage as a combined birthday/Christmas present from the mugs who are his mum and dad (smiles). And I only told him I'd think about it too!! But while he wouldn't need TALKS as a sighted user, I would be really keen to know if anyone has used the N81, which I've not come across before, and what it is like compared to the N95, which I've seen. He has sort of got his heart set on the N95 8GB, and wants to combine music and phone into one device instead of having his Ipod attached to one arm, and his current mobile at the end of his other one. Purely because I'm interested, and want to make sure that if we do buy him something like that he's getting a good deal, I'd value any comments.

Have been to a couple of phone shops today to have a feel of the n81 and n95 handsets before talking to my phone provider next week re a new contract. both phones would be good, I particularly like the music bias on the n81 and fact it comes in 8gb version. is anyone out there using an n81 and if so any comments re it's features, talks etc? Also I recall Steve Nutt commenting a few days ago that the 8gb n95 is currently not workable with talks, does this apply to the 8gb n81 too? Your comments / feedback much appreciated, With thanks, Phil
