I disagree with Carol here. My choice was to go to Vodafone and take out a contract with them as they offered talks Standard. I had given Talks a go for about 2 minutes years before and decided that it was not for me. Then 18 months ago, I changed my mind and was delighted with Talks Standard. It provided me with an excellent opportunity of becoming familiar with the Application and the phone, sending and receiving text messages and then progressing to e-mail, finally to use of the Internet. Once I had become experienced I was then prepared to pay £50 for an upgrade to Talks premium. OK I still had a Vodafone phone but again since then I now have an unbranded phone. It is a case of one's choice and needs I guess. Not saying in any way that Carol is wrong, just that my approach was different.

I eventually plan to get out and about to look at these phones but I wondered if anyone had any opinions before I do. Vodafone do 3 phones it seems with WiFI and GPS that could work with Talks, Namely the N85, the E72 and the N97. The N97 is touch screen so I tend to discount that. The E72 is interesting. I am yet to be convinced that a tiny qwerty keyboard is practical when typing. I think I would rather have a keypad with buttons in a 3 by 4 configuration as if the keyboard is standard qwerty in layout I assume the numbers must end up in a row from 1 to 0 which would be quite different from using a number pad. I have also heard that compromise in the audio side has been made that means Talks is not so stable though I believe the latest talks release helps. Then there is the N85. the keys seem rather flat compared with the N95 I have but it appears to have a conventional keypad as well. I believe it uses an older symbian 3rd generation feature pack so calendar and in-built email work well. I have read reviews that suggest poor design quality however the included options look good so the question is I suppose, is how manageable is the E72 and is it likely to struggle with JAWS and would the N85 therefore be the better ;phone to go for?
