Hi Matt,
I didn't write they would not, I did write that they wer not at the time I
wrote it. Whether they are now, I don't know, but they are certainly not
ruling it out for ever as far as I know. Touch screens are tricky and you
have to get the interface right, or it is clumsy.
All the best
Steve

Steve, you yourself wrote in a message that Nuance would not develop for the
N97 because it is a 5th addition phone and that they would be waiting for
more such phones to come out in the future. You also mentioned the touch
screen as a reason why they wouldn't.
I based my comments on what you wrote, and as a licensed distributer of the
talks product with a direct line to Nuance, I would assume you would be in a
position to know.
Matt
