Chris,

perhaps in the old days, but they have done a lot with compatibility and 
stability, MS v4.6 is stable and very good. perhaps not quite as feature rich 
as Talks, but OVI Maps is a very compelling feature.

Not good news at all! Particularly for me as MobileSpeak, well, I just cannot 
get used to the voices. I keep trying and trying, and I always fall back to 
Eloquence, just because I am so used to it. Also MobileSpeak I don't think is 
as stable and reliable as Talks.
