HiI did look for a Talks 5 manual but can't find one online. Can anybody pointme to it please? I saw the qwerty keyboard on the E51 yesterday and found it far too small for me and difficult to locate the number pad keys.

The e71 and e72 areeasy to use once you become familiar with the key layout. I find them OK insize but some people find them small and too close together. It is all downto touch. The keyboard of the N97 Mini is different in layout, having 3 rows but again easy enough to get on with once you are familiar with the layout. The N97 Mini also has a touch screen. It may be arguable howeffecient a touch screen is for someone without any vision. There certainlyare people using them but I could not at present. I have some residualvision and can manage the touch screen with the backup of my vision. I haveread on list where people who are totally dependent on touch have marked upthe screen with tiny bumpons to guide them. This would ot be my choice. The reading of text messages and e-mail however with the touch screen is fine as the volume up and volume down keys can be used to act like arrowkeys. This is a Talks setting. Also where there are tabs across the screenon the touch screen the volume keys are used. to learn more about touch screens you might find it useful to refer to the Talks 5 manual.

My questions are these. Has anybody on here much experience of using Talks with touch screens and how efficient is it? Should I consider only phones with a keyboard or is the touch screen interface rally a good concept?Secondly, can anybody suggest which phones work well with Talks, includinginternet, calendar and email, and also have FM radio and a keyboard where you can easily identify each individual key? Are any of the qwerty models at all easy to use? Thanks Dave
