How very interesting. Have vodafone stopped the e71 now? I have an e71 from
Vodafone which I only got a short time ago!!! The qwerty keypad is excellent
and I am getting faster and faster at using it, certainly mty speed now must be
equal to that of the numeric key pad and that was fast. never thought I could
achieve this on the qwerty. I do not use predictive type text either but maybe
one day I will give that a go. I get fed up with having to insert words that
are not there already and if I just do it out long-hand so to speak then I know
what I am doing.

Hi
I have the E72 from Vodafone, but hopefully not for much longer!
I think it is fair to say it would be a good practical solution for people
who like to keep up with emails, appointments, documents etc on the move if
they had tested with Talks before it was released.
the Calendar and help functions remain inaccessible at present and are
completely unusable. Email is readable with Roadsync, though the device also
comes with Mail4Exchange. It is also worth noting that the browser and Talks
are not stable and constantly crash. So, I suppose it's worth avoiding this
one currently until accessibility issues are resolved. I also tried with
Mobile speak but removed it after about 10 minutes.

Subject: [talks-uk] N85 and E72 with Vodafone
Hi all.
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?
Regards
Graham
