Hi Jackie.I know what he means, some phones I've held are so exquisite in their touch and feel that you just want to hold on to them for ages, exploring their contours *big smiley*.

Hi Matt I know this is very naughty, and purely mischievous on my part (lol), but how does holding a phone in your hand feel sexy? I mean, what's so lovely about it? Where do you get your kicks from mate? (Lots of grins).

Hey everyone, thought I'd just give you some thoughts on this handset and some of the others I checked out today. OK, the N97 is a gorgeous phone! Feels great, keyboard nicely laid out, very clear screen for those of us who have some useful vision. The OS can be navigated completely from the keyboard, with one major exception, and I'll be writing to Nokia about this one right away. Basically, although the keyboard does feature a back key, it can only be used to delete characters in a text, digits, phonebook entries etc. It is not an exit key. The only exit key is an icon on the screen, and that really sucks because in every other respect the phone is completely usable for us! However, I can't believe it would be impossible for Nokia to add exit functionality to the back key with a very simple firmware revision, so I'm going to request they do this as soon as possible. The E75 looks pretty cool, doesn't have as much battery life as the E71, but does have a true qwerty keyboard and is a side-slide phone like the N97. There are no tactile markings on the Home keys however, so you have to orientate yourself using a metal strip that divides the keyboard. It runs vertically down between the G and H keys, so it is doable. Its basically the same spec as the E71, but I don't think the internal memory is as good. The N86 is basically the same design as the N85, but has a larger internal memory and a few more bells and whistles. The N97 would be a brilliant phone for us if we can only persuade Nuance to develop a 5th addition version of Talks, and get Nokia to make the back key an exit key when navigating menus, phonebook etc. The keyboard on it is gorgeous, and the phone just feels really sexy to hold in your hand. I've never held a phone like it I have to say. What can we do to pressure Nuance? What do we do to get Nokia to make this very simple change to the firmware so the back key becomes an exit key as well? Your thoughts would be helpful!
