Hi.

Apollogies, I replied to your message before I'd read the moderator's request.

I'm not discussing this any more as the list moderator does not want that. I posted a link to a demonstration given by someone who'd only had it for about 2 days, and whilst some of his typing attempts were a bit messy, I think he did pretty well considering the short time he'd had the handset and that he'd never used a touch screen before. If you want to know more then listen to that.

Hi Mat.

OK, please answer the following questions for me since your obviously taken with this phone: 1. Can you connect more than one Bluetooth device at a time of any kind? I have at least three Bluetooth devices connected to my phone at all times.
2.  Does the IFone have a wireless internet capability?
3. How does one write text messages, emails etc on a touch screen and without the use of a qwerty keyboard? This must be a challenge.

All the best, Ibrahim.

As I said, I really hope Nuance comes up with support for the N97, but there are a couple of things I do like about the Voiceover option on the IPhone:

1. Its built in to the phone so you don't have to purchase anything extra to use it.

2. Because its part of the phone's OS, most aps that have been written in the correct way should work with it no problem.

For example, in the podcast I've just listened to, the demonstrator was able to do the following out of the box without any additional support:

1. Access all menus, icons and controls in the OS.

2. Access the Phone ap.

3. Access the messaging and Email aps.

4. Access the clock.

5. Access the IPod music player in full.

6. Browse the Web with excellent navigation.

7. Access all contact relevant stuff.

8. Access recent activity logs such as Missed calls etc.

9. Access the weather ap in full.

10. Access the compass in full.

11. Check battery status, network info, signal strength, data network info etc.

12. Lock and unlock the phone.

13. And apparently there is a growing list of fully accessible 3rd party aps as well including Skype, a Twitter ap, a couple of accessible radio aps (I believe one of those is for streaming Internet radio and podcasts), Maps, Shuh zam, the calendar, Pandora (don't know what that is and so on. All of that is out of the box with no extra things to buy etc.

So yes the IPhone is pricy, but when you add up the cost of a decent Nokia plus Talks plus Wayfinder Access, its probably less on balance.

If they have fixed the battery and Bluetooth problems, the IPhone option is surely a serious one for anyone who's into their media.
