Josh, I was at Beyond Sight last summer while on vacation, and one of their sales people said that the Nokia 9290 won't be sold after the end of the year. Since you are looking for a phone to interact with your BN, why not look at some of the other nokia models, like the 3589 or the 6610. Also, the Nokia 9290 costs considerably more than the standard cell phone, partly because of the Talx software, but also because it has one of those text input mini-keyboards. From a review of the 6610 that Jonathan Mosen did on ACB Radio's Main Menu before he left, he said and demonstrated how you can attach your phone to a PC and control entries in the phone book and perform other tasks as well. Of course, if you don't have a PC, then this won't work for you. In that case, I'd recommend a phone with an IR port, but generally save money and skip the Nokia 9290 since it won't be around for much longer anyway.
