Re: [Talks] New phone recommendations

The N86 is a little better then the N82 as far as the external speakers. TheN86 also takes a while to get going over the N82/N95* models. The reason forthis is the N86 has to scan the 8GB internal drive and then any memory cardif in the phone.

The issue with the N86 has to do with installing software as far as if it isa very big software package like the KNFBReader Mobile Software TTS packagewhich is 32MB or so in size. Starting it from my PC it will fail each andevery time. Starting it from the phone internal 8GB drive it will work halfthe time. This is only installing it. Wants it is installed, the softwareworks. So those people who already have it installed, will not see thisissue. Like I said the issue was installing it to start with.

Talks will work on the N86 phone OK. The EMail client that is on the phoneis different then what is on the N82. The Messaging program that is on theN86 has it's own phont size settings that is different then the main phontsettings on the phone. So you can set the phones main programs to use adifferent phont then what the messaging program uses. So by setting themessaging phont to a smaller phont will allow Talks to see a little more onone line then having it set to largest.


Yes I have a N82, N86, and a N95 dash 3 and a N95 dash 4 phone.

Brad, KNFB reader definitely works on the n86 as we use it at work. Idon't

know what quirks you're talking about the n86 having. As far as I'm
concerned it's the best phone I've ever had, and I've never seen anything
better that you can put talks on.
Cheers
Alex

The problem with the 2 phones he is talking about here is that bothmodelshave been discontinued as far as production. The N95 is a 9.2 phone andwill

be very hard to find brand new if it can be done at all, which I doubt.TheN86 can probably still be found and is a 9.3 model. The N86 as he asstated

has had some quirks. I know the KNFB reader will work on the N95 but I
forget which version of it and I believe it will work on the N86 as well.

Stephen,

As you may know, I am a TALKs, KNFB user on the N-82 phone. Per yourreply

yesterday, you may recall that I have posted about major issue that
developed with my N-82.

I am hearing as well as visually challenged and a practicing
psychotherapist.  Thus, the cell phone is crucial to my safety as well as
lliability issues.  I have been monitoring this list for nearly two years
now, and have read, to max extent possible, with interest many of the

messages in an, often desperate, attempt to stay abreast of technology.I

vaguely remembered some discussion about the best quality cell phone

compatible to TALKs/KNFB, volume and sound quality wise, and researchedthe

old list to see if I could find it.  I was very pleased and surprised to
find this old message from you.  I am writing, and copying my support

resources, to see if there is anything upgraded since April, 2010, whenthismessage was written, that may provide some information to the bestquality

phone for someone with hearing issues.  I would also like the person whom
you directed, and any other hearing challenged folks, to reply to this
message.  Stephen, in advance, I thank you.
Best,

If you like the N73! Then you will like the N95 8GB. The speaker quality
is about the same. The N86 is about 2 steps below the N95 8GB at the
highest setting. So if you have any hearing loss the N95 8GB will be
better for you.

Yes the N95 8GB is a little older phone but the battery life as far as
Talks time is about the same. Also keep in mind! You can get a 2200 MAH
battery for the N95 8GB to greatly increase the battery life as well. At

that point, the N86 doesn't even come close. <smile> I've had moretrouble

with my N86 then I've had with any of my N95* models of phones.

The headset jack on both N86 and N95* models is the same.

Another thing to think about is the N95* models still has a EDIT key so
you do not have to a just to what the Pound and Star keys do.

So depending on where you live! See what is available and if you can go

and check both phones out to see what one you like the feel of best.Also

see if you can get the place to let you put a copy of Talks on the phone
so that you can then see how the external speakers sound to you on the
model of phone that you are playing with.

Asking a list like this! You will get a lot of different thoughts andhow

things work for different people and some of that information will
contirdict one another. So in the end! It will come down to you.

Chris, it was a great phone three or four years ago, but I wouldn't
bother
with it now.

In my case as I live in the UK it is probably the N95-8GB. Thanks.

Hello all,
I graduate from university this coming May. I would like to treat

myself to a new phone as a graduation present. Does anyonerecommend

either an N95 or an N86?
I will still keep my good old N73 as a backup.

Thanks for any recommendations. Any other phone recommendationsthat

are good would also be greatly appreciated.
From Chris.
