  Hi.

  Well, just wait.  The trend now is for the touch screen and graphical
interface.

    I had looked at the RNIB phone but I didn't really think it very
practial (Like many things from the RNIB). I know the phones are not
designed for Talks and we're only lucky we can use them by chance, that's
the problem! By nature the phones that are compatible with Talks are the
camera/vidio ones and that is really annoying when you  were used to using a
small phone and didn't want to go backwards.

      Hi Barbara,
      The only reason we can have smart phones that can handle Talks is that
we are on the back of a successful mainstream product line.  The mass market
is for a phone with camera and display and we have to go along with it.
      If you really don't want to have the screen then use the Oasis from
the RNIB.  Sadly it is not a mainstream product and although having no
display is no smaller or cheaper.

        The 3230 is fairly sized but from going from using non-Talks phones
such as the 1100, 3100 etc to the Talks compatible models it is a big leap
in size. And all because of a massive screen we don't even need!

          Hi.

          Well, I saw the N70 as I was offered it as a free upgrade but it
isn't worth the Extra.  I have a 6680 which suits me fine.

            Hi Ibraham,
              The consolation is that the smaller the phone the harder it is
to find.  I have an N70 which has the advantage of being thin, and fits in
my pocket without a bulge.

              Hi Everyone.

              In response to Barbra's question, I have looked at the Symbian
device list and it would seem that only a limited number of phones can run
talks as most of the other manufacturers use either phones with touch
screens or the new graphical symbian interface called UIQ.

              Unfortunately, I can't find any phone that runs the S60
interface that doesn't have a camera.  I don't know about size, but you can
be sure that most of the phones that are coming out these days will have
these large screens and high resolution cameras which will inevitably mean
chunky units for the foreseeable future.  If anyone knows any different,
please fill us in on this.

              Best wishes, Ibrahim Gucukoglu
