I think the Talks is absolutely fantastic, best thing of the Century, well the 20th Century anyway and taking it in to the 21st Century but I agree with you Graham. If they do not even want to consult with us directly, pity they do not read through the Talks Archieves since the last release to hear what we are saying at least. They would certainly appear to be minor upgrades but personally speaking again I have the e71 and I welcome these upgrades.

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

Hi Neil

Yes, I had heard about this release, and am just curious to know what
the new additions are, if any, to the previous version.  Are there any

obvious fixes to look out for, or is it more to do with support of
newer phones like the N86?

Thanks.
