It might look impressive if you can see to use it. I heard that it has an on screen keypad interface. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I know they are slightly different, the N82 and N96, but realistically, show me the wow factor! Major differences? Apart from the much larger memory that is? Data transmition speeds and protacals are the same, camera is the same but the N82 has a Zenon flash wich the N96 does not have, video and audio formats are the same, screen res is lower on the N82 granted, storage capasity on the N82 is peanuts compared to N96, but what else is there really? Not much. Even the N79 is somewhat disappointing. The N97 now, that does look impressive! Wow!

Hi Matt, Wrong again. The N82 is an FP1 (Feature Pack 1) phone and the N96 is an FP2 phone, so they are not the same. Also, there are 16GB cards out now, and soon to come 32GB cards. When that happens we can tip the 40GB barrier with the N96, whereas iPods storage is static, you ccan't add to it. Getting back to the original point though, I don't think Talks is to blame if it doesn't work with the BBC iPlayer, it may do one day, but there are millions of Symbian apps that Talks probably doesn't work with and I just don't think iPlayer is important in the grand scheme of things. But that, of course, is just my opinion.

Steve, considering the average Ipod has a 40GB harddrive these days, I'd say the N96 storage is more like the IPhone rather than an IPod? As to the features, I don't think it has much that my N82 doesn't have in all fairness, they are same generation phones after all. I should also point out that I went through 5! Yes, 5! New N95's from T-mobile, every single one faulty out of the box! And I understand other people had faulty models as well! Both the N95 8GB and the N96 are built along very similar lines. The N97 on the other hand, is a candy-bar phone so much less moving parts etc. By the way, the N97 does have a proper qwerty keyboard.

The N96 makes a good music player in its own right, has 16GB of internal memory plus you can put a card in it, so it stores more than your average iPod. To me the iPlayer is not at all important. That's not to say I like the N96, I don't. It feels like a fisher-price toy. It is chunky and the build quality is crap in my view. That's the only reason I don't have one. Spec whise though, it is great.

Thing is, the BBC I player is like, the major feature of the N96, so if it doesn't work with Talks then there's no point in getting one! I'm concerned that Talks isn't working properly with the N96 though, that means development of Talks is slowing for the more advanced phones which is a serious worry.

It says message instead of text message and a few small things like that. But It does work though. I don't mind the keypad at all. The over all build quality is shocking tobe fair but it's hey I got it free on up grade so I'll take it. But with this build I'd never pay over £400 for it, I'd not pay over £200 to be honest. -----Original Message----- From: Charles.Nicol@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - Email Address: Charles.Nicol@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent On: 24/02/2009 09:38 Sent To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Email Address: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: N96? N79? Matt, The N96 is not listed as a supported phone, however, I am using one quite satisfactorily with Talks. Some functions of the N96 do not work with Talks, e.g. the BBC I Player and the Office applications, however, I would expect that these might be supported soon. On the other hand, I have been experimenting with the N96 GPS functionality, using Loadstone and have installed Nokia Audio Book Player on the phone, allowing me to convert and listen to talking books on the go. The only thing I would advise with the N96 is to check out the keyboard and see if that suits you. It is pretty flat, however, I have worked it out and do not have any issues with it. Hope that this helps.

N79? Wow! The N96 has been around a little while now, but no sign of it on the Nuance Website anywhere! Can anyone confirm if the N96 is supported or not? Also, T-mobile are offering me either the N96 or N79 as my upgrade option so I'm interested to know if the N79 is supported but that isn't up on the Nuance site either! Yes I know its new, so its possible they haven't gotten around to it yet, but as to the N96, considering it has been out nearly a year, I'd have expected it to be listed by now. As a further enquiry, does anyone know if the N97 due for release shortly will be supported? I know it will have a touch screen, but it will also have a full qwerty keyboard, and its feature set is spectacular!
