I agree. I do have MP3 files on my phone but for the purpose of sending them as e-mail attachments or whatever rather than for listening to them.
Love my qwerty also. Eleanor----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren Harris" <darren_g_harris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Yeah it's like apples and oranges. I'm not bothered about the mp3 capability of a phone because that's not how I use my phone. I want the ability to use it effectively and I love the qwerty keyboard. -----Original Message----- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barbara Wilson Sent: 02 October 2009 11:22 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: n97 and talks Well I love my E71 but of course it is neither a rival for the iPhone or N86. They are different tools for different tasks and you can't really compare them as it's not like for like. If you want a music phone for example, then surely from what I've read the N86 is the best on the market at present. If you want a more business orientated phone with qwerty keypad, then I believe the E71 is the winner. So they are the leaders in their respective fields rather than competing with each other.

I agree the N97 has the chance to do this, but from what I read Nokia have stuff to do to make the Symbian OS better and more stable / responsive before sighted folk consider it a competitor to the iPhone. ---Neil Barnfather TalkNav TalkNav is a Nuance Accessibility software reseller and authorized distributor of Wayfinder products, with product activation codes delivered direct to your mailbox, why not try TalkNav today? www.talknav.com www.wayfinderaccess.com Telephone from the UK: 0844 412 1062 Telephone outside the UK: +44 161 277 7997 -----Original Message----- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Saqib Sent: 01 October 2009 21:44 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: n97 and talks 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. -------------------------------------------------- From: "DurDevil" <durdevil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 01, 2009 7:15 PM To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [talks-uk] Re: n97 and talksits 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? -original message- Subject: [talks-uk] Re: n97 and talks From: "Barbara Wilson" <barkingbabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 01/10/2009 6:53 pm Me too Neil. I don't think no matter how good it would be I would everopt for a touch screen. But I can see why others might.

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 Barnfather TalkNav TalkNav is a Nuance Accessibility software reseller and authorized distributor of Wayfinder products, with product activation codes delivered direct to your mailbox, why not try TalkNav today? www.talknav.com www.wayfinderaccess.com Telephone from the UK: 0844 412 1062 Telephone outside the UK: +44 161 277 7997 From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barbara Wilson Sent: 01 October 2009 15:48 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: n97 and talks Neil Having used an HP iPaq in the past with touch screen, I've never beenimpressed.

The prototype looked good, and they are using the same method as iPhone in terms of dragging your finger around the screen. ---Neil Barnfather TalkNav TalkNav is a Nuance Accessibility software reseller and authorized distributor of Wayfinder products, with product activation codes delivered direct to your mailbox, why not try TalkNav today? www.talknav.com www.wayfinderaccess.com Telephone from the UK: 0844 412 1062 Telephone outside the UK: +44 161 277 7997 From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barbara Wilson Sent: 01 October 2009 12:10 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: n97 and talks Yes Alex and not sure if it ever will as it's mainly touch screen.
