e72 is QWERTY and a lovely phone. I use US Eloquence as UK Eloquence has crackle. N97 is touch phone but I thought they were discontinued in favour of N97 Mini. It also has a qwerty keyboard. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ELSPETH PEARCE" <elspeth_pearce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I really would have liked the N86, but none of the companies are supplying this one, and I am not in a position to shell £300 or so to get one. I have looked at what carphone Warehouse have to offer and the two I am thinking of are the N97 (large) or the E72. Firstly, is the E72 a touch or key phone? And secondly, is the qerty keyboard keys or a flat screen on the N97? Any help and advice, or if you feel inclined, any further suggestions I should look at. I'm a little apprehensive about biting the bullet where touch screens are concerned, but several of you folks seem to be using and enjoying them, so I'll hear what you have to say, see if I can have a look at some phones, and then make a decision. Many thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give. Elspeth
