Subject: [talks-uk] Talks and the N91
Hello Fellow Talks users,
I have been the happy owner of the Nokia N91 for a week and would like to
post my personal observations and tips which may be of help to current and
future owners of this pocket marvel.
First, I like the design and very tactile keyboard. The sliding cover is
your quick access to the music program with controls for play/pause, stop,
forward/rewind and next/previous track. there is no audio output when
skipping forwards/backwards through a track, which I have found is very
fast. All connections are well-defined and it is great to plug in
standard headphones to enjoy music and podcasts. Also, the USB connection
is excellent and data transfer between phone and PC is fast. The sound
quality from the built-in speaker is very good and quite acceptable for
either music or speech.
I decided to purchase my phone from Computer Room Services and have Talks
installed. I had the US English Eloquence running and decided to install
the UK English speech engine. This can be done with Talks running, but
make sure it is installed to the phone's memory, not the hard drive, which
is a physical hard disk and would lead to timing issues with speech. You
can have both engines installed, just select which one you would like to
use from Talks settings.
My first observation when switching on the phone for the first time is the
default standby mode. Active standby is on by default which means you
have to move the joystick to the desired program icon and press it in to
select it, rather like point and click with the mouse. this may be okay
if you can see the screen, as Talks doesn't report which program you have
selected. I have found by turning active standby off you can select
programs with different movements of the joystick, for example, down for
profiles, right for podcasting. All these are customisable, the same as
soft keys 1 and 2, so you can set up shortcuts for 7 frequently-used
programs and activate them with one key press.
the podcasting client doesn't come installed and you will find it on
Nokia's website:
www.nokia.com/podcasting
On this page you will find a link for software downloads for the N91, one
is SMS accelerator. I have installed both the podcast client and SMS
accelerator. Talks works extremely well with the podcast program and you
have full control of your podcasts. Text messages go out much quicker
with the SMS Accelerator.
It is very easy to establish connection with your wireless connection,
which is essential for downloading podcasts. this can also be used for
setting up e-mail.
I am really impressed with the music player, which is fully accessible
with Talks. It is very easy to keep track of your music files. You can
even adjust such settings as shuffle, repeat and equaliser settings.
I am very pleased I upgraded to the N91 and highly recommend it for
day-to-day use. It has all the usual functions found on the Nokia phones
with some advanced features which are easy to use.
One downside for us is the phone's tutorial, which is graphical so
inaccessible with Talks, but the excellent online help will soon have you
sorted if you need to know what to do.
I hope this brief overview is helpful to everyone on the list.
Best wishes,
Clive Pallett
