Hi Folks,
I know this is an old message and I'm catching up with the Talks list
a bit, but I read with interest with regards to Nokia and the use of
talks over the Apple product. Well, I recently upgraded to the IPhone
but I still think that for efficiency and speed, my dear old N86 and
N95 still win. OK, you don't get the amount of useable apps, but if
it is just a phone which can do some pretty amazing stuff then Talks
and the dear N86 do just fine. Don't worry, it's still going strong
along with the N95 which I mainly use as a portable daisy player now.
Take care,
Carla.

yes i agree with you in that i will not be happy to move over to a
complete touch screen phone, whether it be a nokia with talks or an i phone.
i have had a few different nokias over the years and also tried out
an i phone and personally the nokias win hands down every time.
unfortunately as technology has advanced it is looking very like in
the very near future being able to buy an older nokia phone is going
to be near impossible.
i did try out the flagship nokia e7 and did have it for a while to
get used to it, but it just didn't give me the satisfaction and
speed that my current n95 or even my older e65 gives me.

have an E5 which I find is excellent though it is a qwerty
keypad. My 1st qwerty was an E71 which is still going strong. Just
love my Nokia phones and will never move to the complete touch
screen of Apple. Regretably I heard today on the News that Nokia
are laying off another ten thousand workers so that in total forty
thousand will have been laid off. A sad day for those of us who are
Talks users. I also note this list has been very quiet of late and
ask myself why is this? Are more and more blind and partially
sighted people moving away from Talks? I think in the next couple
of years the type of phones working with Talks is going to deminish greatly.

but it does not have wi-fi which is a great pity. However, if you
have a contract and use the Internet and e-mail on your phone you
will still be able to do that but not to download certain things
which require wi-fi capability.

hi.
i have previously owned the e7 and found that i didn't like the
touch screen technology.
to be precise i couldn't use it quick enough compared to using
an older phone that has the regular keypad.
i currently have the nokia n95, which is a good enough phone,
but will be shortly taking out a new contract with my network
provider and was hoping that nokia still had new phones that
weren't touch screen.
thanks to all who are involved in this discussion.
kind regards.

Hi. Would you be prepared to use a touchscreen phone if it also
had a qwerty keyboard? If so, there's the E6 and E7. E7's a bit
big, but the keyboard is truly a joy to use! I think the E6,
which is smaller, has a pretty good keyboard too. Of course,
you have to use the touchscreen to hit keys 1 and 2, but you
get a joypad for arrowing around, rather than having to use the touchscreen.
Just thought these were worth mentioning, in case you can't get
an E5, with qwerty keyboard, or C5, with number pad. No Wifi on
C5, which may be a problem for you.
What phone do you currently have?
Fi,

Only know C5 which is numeric and E5 which is Qwerty. You could look at
the release notes for last Talks release in February 2012. The release
notes will be in the same folder on Blindsea that has Talks.
There may of
course be people who have successfully installed Talks on a
new phone but
cannot help on that.

hello list.
i am looking to get a new phone and was hoping that someone here can
advise me on what new nokia phones are available to buy.
of course the new phone must be able to run talks and i don't
want a touch
screen model.
look forward to your responses.
kind regards.
