Yvonne, not Carol but might that little rubber thing be a cover either for the
USB cable socket or indeed the memory card.
I noted you were saying something earlier about the Talks version. Do you know
what version of Talks you have and more to the point do you know how to find
out what version you have. You can go in to Talks by pressing the Talks key
and a long press of soft key one. Once you are at the speech tab in talks
press options and if you arrow up from the bottom you should come to something
that says About and if you select on that you will hear what version of Talks
you have.
Another thing you might like to do is to go in to Talks training mode which is
talks key followed by zero on the number pad and then you can move around all
the keys and hear what they do. I am thinking that on your phone there may be
a shortcut key to Contacts and you would discover it hopefully this way. Talks
training is a toggle so to turn it off you would press Talks and the zero again.

hello carol
thank you for email reply
u s b idea sound the better method but do i need to install the cd that came
with the handset?
and i have asked a couple of people but not yet got an answer
the question i asked them is what does that little rubber switch on the left
side of the casing for and what does it do?
as far as i can see it is the only thing down the left hand side of the casing

The memory card is particularly tricky to extract from the N86. I think
you're supposed to be able to push a switch to get it out but certainly can't
put it in without taking the back off; so I always remove the back if I have
to remove the card.
However, Eleanor is also right. If you have a USB cable and these
programmes for your phone, that's a better idea than removing the card.
She also right in that the File Manager does show you whether you are
looking at the card's contents or not, so give it a go!
