I'm glad to hear that they are working on all your phone. This is very good news to me beings i do not have a e73 or a n97 model to try myself. Thanks for giving a update. Please let us know how your e75 works with the icon file. As far as the message that can be included with a persons name! I do not see that on the screen with the Talk object VIEWER. So being Talks doesn't see it, there isn't a way to get Talks to read it for now on 3rd edition phones. As far as that goes, i do not know if it even shows up or not physically on the screen of 3rd edition phones. Oh on the topic of the n97 and the 5800 express music. When i started working on the 5800 express music, i lucked out. All the icons worked but one. So i only had to do one of them. So i didn't have to do any trial and error to see what icon needed to be define. The 5th edition phones have two icons for each entry in the contact list and not one. In this case on 5th edition phones, it was the 2nd icon at the end of the information witch was the status. However the same process that i have given would work on the 5th edition phones as on the 3rd edition phones. But like i said i only had to define one of them.

Just in case some of you misunderstood like I did where to put the dictionery text file on your phone, it has to go under other and inside the talks file. I was putting it in the other file, but it was not actually inside the talks file. Now the statuses are being read on my n86, also on my e73 and on my n97 minni. On the n97 minni, the statuses are read after the contact name, but they are read. In addition, on the n97 minni, the little message that people sometimes write- I think it's the mood message is also read after the contact name and before the status. I like that. I tried to figure out how to get the mood message to read on the n86 and e73, but I'm not able to figure it out yet. I'm going to try it on my e75 and see if the dictionary text file works with that phone. I'll let you know.
