Paul, Personally, I'd splash out for an unbranded unlocked N86, an then reduce your bill with Vodafone to a SIM only package, this will likely save you about half the money each month if not more, give you the phone you want, and by the end ofg the contract period likely give you a saving.

The N96 is getting on for two years old now isn't it? Annoyingly, as I say, Vodafone are saying they don't stock the N86 so, the only option for me is to have a lesser phone in terms of the features of the N96 or, just try another N96.

Does anyone know if this is true or not? Asking because my N96 has to keep being replaced as it crashes and does all sorts of other mean tricks. Thanks. ________________________________ From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Matt Brown Sent: 17 November 2009 22:51 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: N86 The N86 is a spectacular phone! I had the N82 before this, and the N86 is probably the best Nokia I've ever owned! Email and Browser support is coming very soon, next release for sure! I certainly don't think Nuance would be foolish enough not to support these features as its the most supported next gen Nokia available at present. Even Email and Browser are supported to an extent. To be honest I think a more pressing problem is the fact that you can't add multi-media content to messages or browse through photos with speech right now, not without a great degree of trial and error because there's no speech feedback.

Can someone confirm that neither of the major screen readers for mobiles function fully with the n86? Or maybe someone knows of a alternitive which will work with talks which is wy fy, has GPS on board and is a good music player, the n86 seems to be most of these but also seems to be more of a digital camera than anything else which does put me off a bit. Anyone currently using the N86? is the keyboard as good as the N82? going into town at the weekend to have a look but all help would be appreciated. Off list E mail is below.
