Thanks Barbara & Ibrahim I appreciate your comments, Ok so it sounds like
the querty keyboard is easily adapted to given a little patience? I have
plenty of patience and when I get a new phone I usually play for hours so
this should be fine :-) if you both find the E71 easy then the N97 keyboard
should be no different for me to adapt to as they are both querty (although
the number keys are a separate line on the N97 I believe); I would consider
the E71 as it does look a good  spec but I currently have a N series phone
(N95 8GB) and use it soooooo much so I think the N Series range suits my
needs more than the E series when I look at their details side by side, I
would be using it for email a lot, but also multimedia things such as music,
audio books, podcasts, facebook etc etc and the N97 spec is amazing and
perfect and should suit my needs for a fair few years

I know Talks isn't supporting it yet but I'm sure this can't be far away as
they had it at sight village this year so I know they are working on it.....
Just a matter of time and it's well worth waiting for 

Thanks again for your comments

Hi Pete

Far as I know N97 does not work with TALKS. That aside...

I have an E71 and as long as you are patient enough to be able to stick with

it for more than a couple of hours before getting frustrated, a qwerty 
keypad is well worth the extra time spent getting used to it. I now think I 
do things faster than on any other phone. I hated qwertys in the past, but 
the E71 has been by far the easiest to use.

As for the buttons, it depends on the size of your hands and fingers and how

dexterous you are. The keys are very close together given the number of 
them, but on the E71 they all are raised up into a dome-like shape, so easy 
to tell them apart. If you have big fingers, you might hit one key along 
with another, it depends also on what part of the finger you use and how 
heavy handed you are.

So it depends on a lot of things but I'd thoroughly recommend a qwerty 
phone, inparticular if you are going to use it for Email etc. And as qwertys

go, I haven't come across one yet to beat the E71.

Hope this helps you.

Hi All

I know a lot of people on here own the E71 and similar phones with a querty
keyboard, in your opinions are these fairly easy to get used to? I haven't
seen (Felt!) the E71 or such devices so wonder - are the keys close
together? Could you accidentally touch the wrong key perhaps?

If people who use these phones could give their opinions it would really be
appreciated..... I'm looking at getting the N97 and just wonder if it will
be easy to use the querty keyboard on it (has anyone compared it to a E71
keyboard?) I love the phone and am just waiting for the Talks release but
I'm just wanting keyboard feedback from other blind peoples perspective as
those sighted folks never think we can do anything :-)

Cheers for any comments

Pete
