Hi Graham, Yes, it does, but it is not at all fiddly, you just press the chr key twice, and it is in number mode. The keys are on the QWERTY board, so 123 is on ert, 456 is on fgh and 789 is on vbn. The zero key is to the right of the n key, so it takes a bit of getting used to. If you just want one number, you press the chr key once. It is a bit like a shift.

I have been talking to t-mobile about upgrading TALKS. they will not give me TALKS but offer the Nokia E61 or Nokia N70. Does the E61 have a standard number pad on it or are you forced to use the QWERTY? If I go for another provider, which of the 3rd generation phones is most accessible? I have heard that the N55 sport is quite accessible but I don't think t-mobile do this phone.
