Hi Anne, Nobody is using Talks for the 5500 yet, because it is a Symbian 9 phone, and Talks is not released for these phones yet. It will work, but we are still not there yet.

I'm an Orange pay-monthly customer with a Nokia 6630 and Talks 2.0. My contract is due for renewal but the only handsets that are Talks compatible and on offer from orange are the 5500 and the N70. Before I start investigating upgrading my version of Talks, I'd be interested in any feedback.

The Nokia 5500 is supposedly one of the handsets which will be compatible with the new version of TALKS when it is finally released. I know TALKS can announce the name of the caller, but the Nokia 5500 handset also does this. When the phone rings, at the end of each ring the volume of the ringtone decreases and the name of the caller is announced as long as that caller has been saved in the Contacts List. If the caller is not in the Contacts List then there is no announcement. So you always know if it is someone whose number you have that is calling and if they are in your Contacts List, then you know who they are before you answer. For those who don't really need software like TALKS but struggle a bit reading the small font in their text messages, this handset also has a function to read received messages. There is a choice of voices too I believe though I have not tried those apart from the default one which is not too bad. Have I sung this phone's praises enough yet?
