Hi Susan, Sorry for the delayed reply, I've been away for the last three days. Well As you live in Northern Ireland there may be a delay on the E52 being released on Vodafone. I have been with o2 for the last nine years and o2 released the e52 at the end of September 2009. Really its different rules for different networks, and each phone has to under go a number of tests to be made compatible to the network. Depending on the network settings and the type of phone that is being released it may just take a longer period of time for a certain phone to be released on a certain network. I would say from my own opinion that the N73 is a good phone and I would hold off for a while on the e52. In relation to your second email the I phone is a tuch screen with voice output. It takes some practice but once you get the hang of it it's a great phone. Perhaps not for everyone, but I love it, and I got to grips with it after a few days of messing around and some sited assistance. I also have very limited site myself, and I can't read the screne but can see the different colours and this may have made the learning process somewhat easier.
