Apology Steve. I should have quoted directly and no offence was meant. I was so clumbsy and all over the place with the e71 and trying to write like on a qwerty keyboard, hands too big for the phone and as I gained the confidence I found that I eventually ended up with left index finger only for all keystrokkes. It was just a genuine interest in your dislike of these keyboards. I was so quick on the numeric pad and I am finding that strange now when I go back to it, sort of lost my rhythm there! *smile*. Now I must not go on or I will be told off by the Moderator.

Hi Eleanor, I didn't say that QWERTY is not suitable, I merely said I don't like it.That is completely different. I hate it. My way of working means that I cantext with my left hand on the keypad without using my other hand except to hold the phone steady.

Thanks Steve. I wonder why you feel so strongly about qwerty on a phone. Actually it has taken great practice and I will make no secret of that on e71, I certainly did not acquire the skills as quickly as some members of this list and I do not use the predictive type text as I need to be 100% effecient with the keyboard before I ever do that. Want the skill to be automatic so that I do not loose it again. Indeed I would say now that I am 99% effecient with my left index finger only and 2 thirds the speed I previously had with N95 and N96. I have progressed from a few word textmessages, through to a sentence, then building on that to more sentences andthen progressed to e-mails which were very short at first but now as long asI choose. A lovely phone I have to say the e71. I would be interestedthough to know why you feel qwerty are not suitable for the phone. Finally I must get a sighted person to look at the phone for or with me because forexample if i press the function key and the letter K I can get the dash symbol and I think there must be other symbols available in a similar manner. If anyone knows these then perhaps you would let me know. I amaware of going in to the symbols screen by pressing the Talks key twice, sothat is not a problem but I know I have accidentally hit the apostrophy on the qwerty itself but cannot remember what I did for instance.# Eleanor----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 12:55 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Any more news...Hi Eleanor, No, it is a slide phone with a standard keypad with nice buttons. QWERTY is awful in my view and I wouldn't touch it on phones.

Hi Steve So you've got the N86? What do you love about it, and how do you think it compares to the N82 and N79? Really interested in what you have to say.

Hi Matt, No news yet. But I love my N86.

Hi, is there any more news about N97 and Talks? I'm getting to a point where I really have to make a decision, N86 or N97! I don't want to be lumbered with an N97 if speech is months and months away if it comes at all, but of the 2 handsets it has the feature set I'm looking for! Apart from the 8 MP camera the N86 doesn't look a whole lot more powerful than the N82 in reality, whereas the N97 is massivo!
