Hi Dean.Its OK, I wasn't slating email lists like this, I think that these are great resources for everyone who uses them, if I didn't like mailing lists or this mailing list in particular, I wouldn't be wasting my time. I just wish that people would stop moaning about the networks and holding them accountable for everything. After all, networks provide services mainly, the phones are just the means by which they tie you in to a lengthy contract. When I got my first phone on Three, I checked to see whether it worked with talks and now I have the E71, with the help of this and other mailing lists I found that this phone had a few niggles but was otherwise totally workable. I suppose what I'm saying is that people should make the most of all available resources including reviews, specifications and forums as well to make sure that the phone they want to take home is going to give them what they want at a price they're willing to pay.
All the best, I've had my say now and will not raise this subject again.----- Original Message ----- From: "Dean Wilcox" <wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Some people on E-mail lists such as this totally depend on information and reviews given by other users. So basically if one person is a bit harsh on a network without real cause a good number of people could be avoiding what would have been a good thing for themselves. Opinions are great but try to show opinions from fact, says me who probably doesn't even do it myself!At 13:19 06/07/2009, you wrote:Hi.Yes, but also, it is up to the potential owner of a phone to do their own research, the internet provides bounty a plenty for the methodical researcher. Its no good blaming the networks for everything. Accessibility is a specialist subject yes, but personal taste and feature requirements are down to the owner to sort out. Don't ask me questions about this, but my understanding is that before the end of the year, talks may be in a position to support touch screens which means phones like the N97 become fully accessible, but I'm not taking questions as my knowledge is extremely limited upon this point and any questions will be ignored. Back to my earlier point though, I do wish people would stop going on about the problems they've had with particular networks and getting the wrong information. If you can't be bothered to look things up and spend the time checking out the competition both on your own and other networks, you're going to be limited in your scope when it comes to choice.All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "brian williams" <firstup@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 06, 2009 12:52 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Update on the N85HiIf you took a contract on the basis of the information given to you by vodafone, and that information was wrong, not uncommon with vodafone, then the contract is uninforcible. As we proved with our own experience.rian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walter Ramage" <wpr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 06, 2009 11:31 AM Subject: [talks-uk] Update on the N85Hi folks. OK. Here we go. in view of what some were saying yesterday I went to the Voedafone store this morning. I asked about the N85 and if it had a touch screen element. The guy there said no it hasn't. When I gothome I called Voedafone and told them what I was told yesterday by therecolleague. The guy I spoke to on the phone this morning said it did have a touch screen but when I told him what I was told on this list last night andwhat the store assistant told me this morning he disappeared for a fewminutes and came back and told me that it didn't have a touch screen element but on the reviews and on the screen image he had it looked as if it had. I'm not very pleased as I got a new contract based on what the guy told meyesterday. I would be happy to keep the 6210 but I have felt it in the store this morning and it felt really nice but has the Nokia headphonesocket and not the standard one. If I can find an adaptor to convert the socket to a standard socket then I would keep it but if I can't then I'llsend it back. I want the option to use high quality ear phones with myphone and not the bog standard type and if they got damaged I would be stuck and not be able to use the phone's player other than via the mono speaker. Does anyone know where I can get such an adaptor? and soon as I have only 7days from Wednesday to find one. Walter.No virus found in this incoming message.
