Hi John You've probably got sorted out now with sighted assistance, but I'm just catching up with my Emails, and note your query. Yes, the lock on the left side is on a spring, and it does lock and unlock the phone. The buttons are all tactile and quite easily identifiable from one another on the sliding portion of the handset. The top two keys on the left and right side of your joypad are your soft keys, left for options, and right for back as a rule. Below these on the left and right side are your call send and call end buttons, respectively. And below these, on the left and right, are your Talks/menu button, and your delete key. The power button is at the top left part of the phone, but isn't as tactile as some I've seen. If you slide the screen down, your MP3 player buttons are at the top, and are also all tactile. This is probably too late for you now, but hope it helps.

A sighted friend and I had a slight problem with the key lock today. I did find about twenty minutes ago a button on the left side that could be pushed down but was on a spring. Not sure if that has anything to do with the locked keypad.Will have to wait for sighted help with that one too. Now I know where the icon is, didn't think about checking the system tray. Thanks Amro.

You'll probably need sighted help to do this. Or, you could just keep trying until you enter on the right choice! Once the phone's correctly connected, you can left single click the Nokia pc suite system tray icon, from the drop down menu choose install applications and then follow the on screen steps.

I am wondering about some questions. Do I need to have the n86 on Nokia pc suite? I am also using vista which I think is a problem in itself. I attached the phone honestly.lol As I have no sight I guessed where pc suite might be but apparently not. The message was n86 connected in non compatible mode. I think at this point I might need sighted help. I did try alt in Nokia pc suite but didn't get a drop down menu only system, minimize maximize etc. I then clicked on the file using the numpad but all I got was envoke checked and exit. Do I require sighted help and does the phone have to be set for pc suite before I get the option to install?

A sighted friend assures me she selected pc suite but when I press enter on the talks sis file or eloquence file nothing happens. I am connected to the phone as I can get into the folders via windows explorer. Any ideas what might be happening?
