Thank you Allan for going through all that for me. I am amazed about the
amount of memory in the phone. Incidentally how much memory does the E7
have?

Subject: Re: [Talks] E6 Questions
hi,
before i try to answer to all your questions, i may need to say this,
while no one can stop anyone from buying any phone, but please
do understand that the current up-to-date release of talks does not fully
support for phones like E6 and X7 or older phones like N8,
C6-01, C7 and E7 if it is updated to Symbian Anna. the following area has
found broken in current release of talks 521.3:
* talks does not read while editing the home screen widgets.
* talks lost focus when after in/out from a submenu.
* Talks reading time on the middle button everywhere on the phone.
* talks does not properly read the notification area which holds the miss
call event and new message.
* talks does not properly detect the date and time area on the home
screen.
* talks does not fully work in the new web browser.
* talks broken in the mail application.
* virtual keyboard broken in full touch screen phones.
those are what i can remember for now, but as i mention above, these are
the current problem for talks 521.3 and i am sure Nuance is
working hard to fix them.
so Eleanor, below are my answers to your questions.
1. There appear to be 2 different screens, an active and an inactive one.
Is it possible to have just one screen? How is this
achieved? I like either as the moode takes me, using the active to check
if i have e-mail or what is current in the News.
However, I like having the photograph of my guide dog on the inactive4
screen.
you can do it buy edit the home screen widgets or remove all widgets on
the other 4 screens and you can add the photo become
wallpaper.
2. Receiving a text message. If I am in the area of my phone in the
house, I can hear a text alert. However, when I go to the
phone and activate it, using the slide switch on the right, Talks does
not inform me that there is a new message. I have a little
vision and found presumably an icon on the bottom third of the left of
the screen. When I placed my finger over this, Talks said
1. It was the one message. I tapped it and the message opened.
yes, that is the way to use E6, there's no more "key1 show" or "key2 exit"
for new messages or miss calls. it is shown on the
notification area on the left.
3. Conversations, does anyone bother with this in Messaging? I am not
sure of its real function except there is an advatage if
sending multiple messages in conversation to and fro to someone and where
one word responses come back like Yes or What exactly do
you mean? then it is possible to refer to the thread. It seems like
taking up a lot of space on the phone but perhaps not.
it will be banafit to a sighted but not talks user. it will not taking any
much space on the drive c, just another way to read
messages.
4. How much actual memory does the E6 have without memory card? Mine
gives me the impression with Talks that there are just over
6 GB of memory!!!
the built-in memory is 8Gb and if you dont store anything in it, you will
have about 7.3GB free space. after i done a full reset on
my E6, i am now having 415MB on drive c and 7.3GB on drive e.
5. While I can now read my e-mails, I am a little irritated, maybe I am
touching something but when I go to press Vol Down twice
(having pressed the Talks key) to read the message, a screen is popping
up giving me the option to Reply etc. Anyone else
experienced this?
6. On my E7 (just gone back) I could arrow down through my e-mail Inbox
just to hear who the messages are from, but on the E6
while I can arrow down, Talks does not speak. I have to open the message
before I get anything meaningful at the e-mailbox. I do
get things like New Mail etc but no relevant information in relation to
the e-mails themselves.
mail in symbian Anna isn't supported yet for talks 521.3.
7. Writing a text and sending it. This is good in that all the options
are on the touch screen down the right side and on the
bottom of the screen. Once I am ready to send, if I choose to press the
soft key one on screen instead of the relevant icon to
the right of the screen, I get the usual options like Send, add recepient
etc. Now again with a little vision I have observed
that I must ensure that the arrow down key has selected the option I
want, say it is Add Recepient and is the 3rd one down, that
is fine, but the first option is Send. Talks says Send but I need to
ensure that I have the down arrow on it, presumably
highlighting/selecting that option because unless I do, I do not get the
soft key one on screen. The best way I can describe this
is like on a computer the way a screen when inactive is greyed out but
when it is active, as in the case of multiple word
documents open on screen, the active or selected one is then the one that
one can work on.
this is usual for ^3 devices and later. the first item is not selected
when entering a list of items, you must arrow down once to
have it selected.
