Hi Val,
Thanks for this, I did think about going out and just buying a unlocked
phone but common sense prevailed and we booked 2 weeks in turkey instead! LOL!
I'm sad about the immanent demise of my N82, I love it to bits! Might be worth
trawling around the net to see if I can source one, will let people know what I
eventually choose!

I had exactly the same conversation with Orange last evening with, I fear, the
same result. They did suggest visiting an Orange shop or independent retailers
like Phones for you and The Car Phone Warehouse. In the end I went on Ebay and
put in "N86" and it came up with an amazing number of phones, both locked and
unlocked. My N82 too is beginning to show its age - the battery refused to
charge and I've had to replace that and now the handset is being a bit iffy so
I'm actually wondering whether its the handset rather than the battery. I
suppose if you particularly want another N82, Ebay might be the place.
Be interested to know which model you go for. All Orange seem to be offering
are the N97 and N97 mini (whatever they are) and I don't know whether the KNFB
Reader would work on them - be interested for some views from list users. The
other thing with the N97 etc. is whether they have keys rather than the
"wonderful" touch screen - are VI's being gradually eased out of the mobile
market!
Someone did tell me about a touch screen phone which VI's could memorise the
key positions but that sounds like hard work - that's almost in the realms of
the rubber overlay which Humanware puts over the Trekker PDA.
Regards
Val.

Hi Folks,
As my n82 is definitely going downhill I called Orange to order a n86 only to
be told as it is 12 months old it has been discontinued. So is there a talks
friendly phone which isn't likely to be deemed "old" and current?I even asked
if they had a old n82 hanging around but no joy!lol! Don't want a Iphone,some
of the phones on offer were touch screen so probably no good, any ideas? don't
want to say yes to a phone which will be out of date before it is delivered!
Thanks
Alistair
