Hi

 

Can you please clarify your statement about the E71 keyboard being
"completely stupid"?  I am interested In getting it and am now a little
concerned.  Did you ever look at the E61 keyboard?  If you did, what did you
think of it?

 

Kind Regards

Subject: [talks-uk] N97 and N86?

 

Hi, I've just checked with T-mobile in the UK and they aren't going to be
getting the N86 sadly. It also doesn't look as if they'll be getting the
N97.

 

I still can't decide which phone to get! Someone said that the N85 is also
compatible with Talks but it isn't in the list of phones published by
Nuance.

 

I only hope the N86 will be because the list of accessible phones that are
new or current is getting thinner, has anyone else noticed that? I know
Nokia are bringing out more touch-screen phones, and obviously they're out
for us, but there isn't really a sensible alternative to Talks on a Nokia.
The Windows based phones crash all the time, and the Mobile Speak system
isn't the best in the World, what are we going to do?

 

I hear that the N97 is unlikely to be supported by Nuance because it
integrates a touch screen as well, but according to Nokia the phone is
completely accessible via the qwerty keyboard so the touch screen isn't
necessary. I wonder if Nuance will rethink that one.

 

Just interested in what other people think. I had a look at the E71 and
absolutely hate it! The keyboard on it is completely stupid!

 

Matt
