Paul, I also have the N96 and am very happy with it. Granted though, I have never used an N95 so I cannot compare the two. I am managing fine with the N96 keyboard, can surf the net, access my Email and Talks is handling better than I might have expected.. I tried Quick Office, after your last posting and noticed that I was invited to purchase a licence when I tried to create a new Word Document or Worksheet. Did you encounter this and, if so, did you manage to get around it? I don't want to purchase a licence for the software unless I am fully convinced that it will work for me. How much might this software cost anyway?

Was: RE: Re: What happens to talks on my old phone once I change handsets Hi Paul that is a surprise. However how are you managing with that flat keypad. I have to say that I am put off by the keypad. I have the Nokia N95 8GB and think it's the best phone out there on my Three network. They do have the N96 but I won't be going for that phone. It's nice that it has 16 GB of storage space plus an option to add more storage. ----- Original Message ----- From: "All formats" <allformats@xxxxxxxxx> To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 10:55 AM Subject: [talks-uk] Talks on my new phone working with things unexpected! 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!

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.
