Would you Erik or any of the other windows mobile fans happen to know of any
decent demos or podcasts or whatever where I can check out mobile speak in
action? I ask because I've got a nokia e51 here, a few days left to decide
whether I'm keeping it, and an urge to try something new. Been on symbian
for the last few years... this phone is the snappiest thing I've used to
date, but I'm wondering whether Windows mobile can top it.
cheers for any heads ups (seems strange writing that as a plural!)

Hi, I don't know how talks compairs to mobile speak simbian, but mobile
speak pocket and mobile speak smart phone rule windows mobile. I missed
out on the talks revolution, but I'm not even the slightest bit tempted
to transfer to a simbian phone. My next phone will be windows mobile,
and the one after that, until they over develop windows mobile and ubuntu
mobile comes up to speed.
Best,
Erik

I have a Nokia 6620 now and am going to upgrade it at the end of May
this year. Two reasons for this. First it's not a 3rd edition phone
and talks to work the web browser needs at least a 2nd edition phone. I
have the 3rd edition software but don't have the 2nd edition software.
The second reason I'm going to upgrade is multimedia or the lack of
multimedia. The only thing this phone can play are .ram files and it
can't do .pls files or any of the other formats on the web. Not at all
helpful for listening to streams or podcasts. The only way I would
possibly even touch mobilespeak is if it can do better accessibility
than talks 3rd edition software can and I've read writing to the
contrary on that count. The phone I now have I'll be giving to a friend
after I key in the unlock code so it can hook up to any network in the
world since he intends to do overseas travel with it. Other than that,
the Nokia 6620 can do email and text messages just fine. I probably
ought to look for a phone that can download usenet newsgroups too and
handle irc but that might be pushing the envelope a bit too much.
