I hope you're joking Steve because I fear these Emails might constitute a
contract!

£1.00!
I can't see why people have this wlan problem and what is the cause of it.
Nokia are no help at all! I tried exactly the same phone belonging to someone
else on my network and it worked fine, so it's definitely the phone. Yet the
idiots sent it back the same.
Not worth your £ Steve though apart from that it is a lovely phone.

You're not that keen on them then Steve?
To be fair, I liked the E51. The keypad was nice and the WLAN was very
quick and could pick up networks at a good distance. Wish I'd kept it instead
of this heap of N79 junk! However, I do think qwerty keypads are a waste of
time and effort. By the time you've found the right tiny key you could have
done it with the normal keypad in half the time. Horses for courses though I
guess.

Hi Ibrahim,
None of the E phones are any good in my view, they have nothing to
commend them. On most N phones they have all the Email, document reading
facilities that you mention in the E phones, and there is no up side to the E
phones at all. It is like business computers, they are always under-spec. I
wouldn't go near an E phone.
All the best
Steve

Hi Saqib.
That is changing, on the E75 and E63 phones there will be standard
headphone sockets, so you can use your own headphones or of course a Nokia
headset. I've never used these phones however, so can't vouch for the quality
of the music facilities, the E71 has an adequate enough music player with all
the functions you'd expect. The only complaint I have is that the music is by
far too quiet especially on Bluetooth headphones, so its not ideal.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi. You can get a headphone adaptor for these phones so you can use
your own headphones. This phone is a business range phone so Nokia have this
notion that business oriented people are not interested in music.

Had a look at E71, but why do they put the stupid headphones
connecter on these phones? Why couldn't they just put the standard 3.5 like on
N82? Means you have to use their tacky naff headsets!
It also doesn't have a 5 MP camera or Xenon flash, so obviously the
scanning software won't work on it.
From a multi-media point of view, I think it isn't nearly as powerful
as N82.
E66 is really old too to whoever mentioned that one!

Hi Mat.
If you haven't a problem changing networks, you can currently get the
E71 on three from as little as £20 on their promotional texter plan, 200
minutes, unlimited texts and internet and 300 three-to-three calling minutes on
an 18 month term contract. If interested,email me privately off list and I
will be happy to provide further assistance.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi, I wondered if anyone has a better idea of where to go next in
terms of phones?
When I started my T-mobile contract in 2007, they gave me an N95.
However, they ended up sending me 5 new handsets because each one I got was
damaged on delivery, GPS not working on one, No Wi-Fi on the next, damaged
casing etc etc. The 5th one was OK, but a few months after I got it I stupidly
stood up from my computer desk not realising the headphones had fallen into my
lap and snagged on my belt, and I pulled the bloody thing off the desk and the
display stopped working after it made contact with the floor!
Nokia admitted the N95 screen was very fragile compared to other
phones, but the repair was stupid money, so in the end I got an N82 with
insurance money, because T-mobile argued that as they had sent me 5 handsets
already, they weren't prepared to send me a 6th.
So, I've been using my N82 on T-mobile for around 12 months of my
18 month contract, and I'm now eligible for an upgrade, but remember the phone
T-mobile provided was the N95, not the N82.
So this leaves me in a spot because the phones T-mobile have
offered me are the N79 and the N96, which although much better handsets than
the N95, are not as good, or only just as good as the N82.
Some of you may argue with me, but from what I've read online, the
N79 is roughly equal to the N82 in design and reliability whilst not as
powerful from a feature set point of view, and the N96's only advantage over
the N82 is the bigger memory. With both handsets you loose the Xenon flash, and
the N96 is a slide-phone which are notoriously easy to damage, flimsy and
poorly built.
Some people advise me to hold on for the N97 which will have a
qwerty keyboard so it will be accessible to us, but because that phone will
also be touch-screen based, I'm not sure Talks will support it. In fact, I'm
growing very concerned now that Nokia are bringing out more and more
touch-screen based handsets because of the staggering popularity of the IPhone
Touch.
Folks the N95, N96, N82 and N79's of this World won't be around
forever, and then what are we going to do? Nokia is rolling out new phones yes,
but the top-of-the-line handsets which feature many of the things we blind
users have come to depend on, are increasingly coming out with touch-screen
displays which we cannot use. I'm really hoping that Talks is going to come up
with something that will work on other platforms such as Motorola or Sony
Erikson for instance, otherwise in the next 5 years or so, we'll all be royally
screwed!
Anyway in the meantime, your advice regarding if I should take
either the N96 or N79 I'm being offered now, or wait for the N97 or some other
Nokia handset I'm unaware of at the moment will be much appreciated.
Matt
