What I would hope for most of all with Nuance is that they read the Talks lists 
and hear what we say.  that will be good enough for me if then in subsequent 
updates of Talks we see that they have listened.

  yes indeed and as many will know companies like humanware in Canada have been 
so secretive about the development of Braillenote I would argue they probably 
damaged their market share and the trust in the company.  No Nuance are not the 
only secretive company out there.  Yes companies need to protect commercially 
sensitive information but I think they often take this too far.

  Graham, just as an example, Freedom Scientific are just as secretive.

  Steve we do go round and round with this one but people just don't get the 
point.  the real issue here is why nuance is so secretive about what it is 
doing.

   

  I do have issues with Microsoft for sure, but at least when it brings out a 
new operating system we get some official information from the company before 
release.  Nuance however appears to give absolutely nothing away about what 
might be in new versions of talks until they are released.

   

  Like Microsoft Office, Talks would seem to me to have little in the way of 
serious competition in terms of market share. there is Mobile Speak but that 
seems to be more for Windows phones, I know very few who use the Nokia version.

   

  The new Nokia email program used in phones like the N86 is quite graphical in 
nature and the question is whether it will ever work with Talks at all?  It may 
even be more sensible for Nuance to produce its own symbian mail client.  I 
understand that Symbian is to become opoen source so this would be quite 
possible.  I would happily email someone at Nuance to ask their advice on this 
new email client and I think an official response would reassure many users.  
Is there someone we can email or would it be possible for dealers to apply any 
gentle pressure on Nuance to provide statements on what is happening here?

   

  Regards

   

  Graham

  Hi Vanja,

   

  Why is it questionable that Email will work on the N86?  I can assure you 
Nuance are working on it, but I can’t give a release date.

   

  All the best

   

  Steve

  I tried to install this on my n91, but it does not work. When starting 
installation it told me that the application is not compatible with the phone, 
but asked me if I wanted to install anyway, which I did. When I tried to run 
it, it just told me that feature is not supported. I do realise that this is an 
old phone. My contract is out and I do want to upgrade. I initially wanted n86, 
but since email doesn't work with talks and looks like it is questionable if it 
ever will and email is essential to me unfortunately looks like I'll have to 
consider other options, but that's another subject.

      Hi Steve

      I don't have any problem about discussion of third party apps which work
      with talks on talks phones so no problem with this.  Cheers!

      Hi folks,

      Apologies Graham, this is not strictly Talks but it is exciting news none
      the less.

      Skype have released a beta client and it would appear to be very 
accessible,
      including Skype chat, Skypeout, and free Skype to Skype calls.

      Get it here:-
