totally agree. my loyalty to a given company only extends as far as their
usefulness goes. if they can deliver the product at a set quality and price
then i stick with them. if there's an alternative then i'll always be
watching it like jaws and windoweyes. jaws wasn't delivering so i dumped it.
fs no longer served their purpose so i dispose of the product. pure and
simple.

And because they know that we depend on their product and although there is
choice, the choice is quite limited and market is a narrow one they can
afford to treat us like this. And please don't tell me how I should be
grateful to have all this software and all that, yes I am grateful, but I
also pay for it out of my own pocket. Sure I know that it takes time to
develop software, sure I know it's not easy, sure I realise companies should
protect their own commercial interest, but it doesn't hurt to treat us
paying customers with a bit more respect. It doesn't hurt to reassure us if
something is not working or not accessible that it has being worked on. Yes,
Steve did that yesterday on here and I respect that, but companies like
nuance and Freedom Scientific in general have tendency to keep us in the
dark.

companies don't realise they should be in partnership with their users and
make that mean something for real! instead they often treat us as mere
comodities who buy their products it seems to me!

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:-
