Hi Steve,
If you are using Wifi a lot, that will drain the battery. Also, turn off
Bluetooth when you are not using it.
All the best
Steve

Ummm, I'm extremely happy with the N96 and given a little more time I think
it's going to be a great piece of kit. I think talks sounds absolutely fine
on it compared to the 7610 I've had, but can't comment on how it sounds on
other models. I find the keypad no problem at all and with a little more
time, I'm sure the functions like the BBC's i player will be available in
the UK on the handset. I've got the program, but it seems like it's only
available via wi fi. Only thing that bugs me is the battery life. Does
anyone know what impact talks has on a handset?, as it really drains quick
and I'm not sure if this is due to talks or what, cheers Steve.

Hi Paul,
Do you know what version of Office is on there? Is it an old version by
chance? I don't have an N96 to try this with, but that is good news.
I must admit, I am a little disappointed with the N96, it has a hell of a
spec, but Talks is laggy on it, compared to other phones like the N82 and
the 6220 classic. It also sounds kind of tinny and disembodied, and quiet.
This is not important to everyone, but with all the hype around the N96, it
is a bit of a let down. I am glad it reads office for you though. What
about Word files?
All the best
Steve

Was: RE: Re: What happens to talks on my old phone once I change handsets
Hi Everyone.
I don't know whether anyone is aware of what I am about to describe so here
goes:
I have just purchased the Nokia N96.
I have the latest version of Talks and was using it previously on the N95.
I had quick office on the old phone, as I do on the new phone.
Talks did not work with quick office on the old phone but, so far as I have
tried up to now, to my great surprise, Talks was reading an excel sheet on
my new phone!
Not perfectly, I grant you but, I could read the information in each cell
(in this case, it was a rota).
Sometimes, the information in the cell was not spoken but, I cursered up or
down one cell and back to the cell I wanted to read and that worked.
We spoke of things impressive with Talks so far, but, that is one fantastic
leap in my opinion.
I have no idea why it should work but, it does!
Just hope it will with the new release of Talks!

Hi to everyone
I would also like to echo these centiments from Jackie. I don't know what I
would do without talks on my phone. I find it really opens up the phone for
me although my only regret is that I don't always feel I make the most of
all the features as often as I probably should, but when I do, it's fab.
All the best
Martin
