This is a tricky issue indeed.  I currently have an N95 and within the next 
month I will be able to upgrade my phone and I am after one with a decent 
GPS receiver.  I am also a very regular user of the web browser on the N95 
so for me web browsing has become a bit of an essential.

Clearly, no one wants to upgrade their phone without an assurance that these 
facilities will eventually work with talks and it does not specifically say 
in the release notes that the web browser on the N86 will ever work.

It does seem to me that there is very little fixed in this release, and 
certainly it is nothing more than a very minor upgrade.  Manufacturers of 
screenreaders do normally advertise new releases before they are due or at 
least they give an idea of how often they should be expected.  I do really 
wish that Nuance would be a little less secretive about future plans in 
order to help those who need an upgrade or need to buy a new phone.

Regards

Graham

Well thanks for that Jackie.  I've read the release notes for the new KNF
upgrade and that it now supports the N86.  I'm slightly disappointed that
Nuance have brought out this new update without addressing the issues around
the N86 which is obviously a key player at the moment, especially in
relation to KNF now working on it.  I personally will not upgrade either
talks, nor KNF until I can properly use the N86.

Steve

Hi Alex

The only feedback I can give you is that Nuance will not be releasing
the enhancements required for the N86 yet, though they are aware of them
and are working on them.  That's all I know, and I do know because the
K-Reader is to go on the N86 given the demise of the other phones.

I hope this helps.

Jackie, as far as I can tell from the release notes, support for the n86
hasn't changed, the e-mail application hasn't changed, and it seems the
web browser still doesn't work. I certainly won't be buying an n86
unless the situation is improved.
Cheers
Alex
