Steve, just had my first look at an n86 this afternoon, and it's definitely going to be my next phone.
Cheers

Hi,

Sorry, I wouldn't say the E71 showers over the iPhone. It's not a bad phone,
but it lacks memory, has a cheap audio cheip that Talks has to use work
arounds to fix, and Nokia have generally cut corners. If you want a phone
that showers on the iPhone, then the N86 has to be it.

All the best

Steve

Well I have to confess that I would never use a touch screen device. It's
far too fiddly when you need to take notes or numbers when out and about. It

may well be usable but not to a degree where one could operate a touch
device with confidence and ease. My E71 showers all over the I-Phone all
round. I think you know what that term means.

its better than just a touch screen though as has a keyboard too. Its a
real IPhone killer! looking at the N86 and n97 the people at Nokia are
doing some awesome work! And i think the Nuance guys are doing an amazing job keeping up with this rapidly growing technology and us blind folk have

never had such Accessibility in our pockets! Just imagine someone with
say, a N86 with talks, KNFB & WFA when all fully supported - hello
independence! Go go gadget er um phone?!! Oh neil i know off topic but
will WFA work on the N97 once talks does?

Me too Neil. I don't think no matter how good it would be I would ever opt

for a touch screen. But I can see why others might.

 Barbra,



 A different experience, CF divided the screen up, and thus changed the
natural layout of the screen, Talks are keeping it the way it was
intended.



 Having said this it will not be the way I go when it does come out, I'm
just more productive with a keypad / keyboard.

 Neil



 Having used an HP iPaq in the past with touch screen, I've never been
impressed. But saying that, it was running Mobile Speak!

   Barbra,



   Torsten did show a test version, that is pre alpha version at Sight
Village this year in Birmingham, so it will happen, just a matter of when.



The prototype looked good, and they are using the same method as iPhone

in terms of dragging your finger around the screen.

with talks aren't I?
