Hi Graham. Apart from the little irritation I mentioned in my last post to you, there isn't really anything wrong with the 6680, I am happy with it. I think though that a change makes things interesting. the thing that got me on this upgrade thing was the N95 and it's 8g micro drive. I know some here said that vodafone had it wrong and the N95 doesn't have an 8g micro drive and I mentioned this to Vodafone but they said that they are not in error and the N95 does indeed have an 8g micro drive. With the contradictory messages and the fact the upgrade was going to cost the better part of £300, I decided to opt out of the N95 for the meantime. However the thought of upgrade has got a hold and a change seems worth pursuing, but only if I am going to get a better product or there is some advantage to myself in being locked into another contract, such as I mentioned in my post to Barbara. Walter. -----Original Message----- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Graham Page Sent: 15 October 2007 20:39 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: All opinions welcome what is wrong with the 6680? it is not a bad phone at all and, if you use the phone to read wap pages you will not be able to do that anymore as currently the new nokia browser is as far as I know not supported. I don't know if Nuance are to do anything about this. They seem so damn secretive about what they will be doing in future versions of talks and even product history is patchy and poorly documented.

I appreciate your comments and will take them into account when making my mind up. From what you have said, There doesn't seem to be a kick in the rear end difference worth dumping the 6680 for the N73. I have got to decide whether locking myself into an 18 month contract is worth it for the N73 or E65. I wouldn't want 2 phones, so thus far the only advantage of getting the upgrade and locking myself into the contract seems to be, depending on which phone I liked best, to keep the N73 or E65 with talks and sell my 6680 with Talks. Or, just keep the 6680 and sell on as new either the N73 or E65. Decisions, decisions LOL.

The N73 is quite bulky though and the E65 more of a slimline handset and it's a slider. It has a nice grip but I did find some keys a bit fiddly, especially the TALKS key which was almost set into the side of the handset and very hard to get at. The N73 is chunkier as I said but despite many people talking about faults on it such as crashes, I've had none of these and been using it for a couple of weeks now. It's only drawback is perhaps that it is chunkier than the E65, not much between them I'd say.

However, Vodafone can offer a free upgrade to the N73 or the E65. I would appreciate comments on these phones please. I know the N73 has been spoken of previously by others but since at that time I wasn't thinking about that phone, I didn't read these posts. Is the N73 superior in any way to the 6680 which I have now? What is the Keypad layout, what facilities does it have etc? What are it's negative qualities? ? I would also appreciate the comments and experiences of others with the E65 but from what the customer services girl was saying, it seems to be a more business/professionally orientated phone. All comments will be gratefully received. Walter. __________ NOD32 2591 (20071014) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
