Hi, If you are able, I'd try it out. Personally I did find the keys on the N95 8GB easier to use. I know what you mean about wrist issues as I've had them myself recently. An alternative is to use the N86 with a Bluetooth Keyboard. It is a great handset in all other respects, so a nice slim keyboard could do the trick for extended typing, such as answering e-mails. I'm planning on investigating this option myself in the near future. HTH. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

I'm finding the N95 a bit of a strain on my right wrist when texting quite a bit so maybe (from what you're saying) this would not be a good option for me. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ---- Original Message ---- From: "Hussein Patwa" <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2010 7:10 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: N86 FINAL DECISION > Hi Steve, > > I think Carol was referring to the keypad, which is > indeed flatter than that on both the N95 8GB and N95 > original.
