there's also the C7, touch only but with a few specific keys. or the E7, a great touch phone with full slide out qwerty keyboard.

Hello,firstly, the E5 will work just fine, as long as you are buying a branded one from a carrier here in the UK, it will not be running the latest FW, and you just need to avoid updating it. that is, do not update it until the next release of Talks.
next, the E7 is a no go, you mentioned Zooms, zooms is not available on the N8, E7 and C7.
so the E5 to me is the only option that meets your needs and requirements.there are no issues with Talks whatsoever, and as I say, provided you use a legitimate copy it will be fine.

I was considering an E5, but in view of some information I've seen on the Accessible Phones Discussion List concerning a conflict between Talks and firmware for the E5, I wonder if list members can give me some advice. I'm really after a phone that will allow me to use Facebook with Talks as well as making calls and sending text messages, but it would be a bonus if I could get a phone that also had the following features: 1. A large screen and therefore enabled Zooms to enlarge the text easily 2. A qwerty Keyboard to make texting a little easier 3. could comfortably work with GPS software encase I wanted to use this when travelling. Thanks for any pointers to phones I can consider looking at when I visit Sight Village later in the week.
