We'll have to wait and see if they come out with other keypad phones or not.
Nokia did announce not released two new phones within the last 2 weeks. The
phone will probably be available later this year. Will they work with the
current version of Talks? The answer is I don't know and would say probably
not being they are running a later version of Symbian Power sign 3. One has
just a touch screen and the other one has a quirty keyboard on it.
No I donot think Touch screen phone will be the only thing going. There will
always be phones with keypad/keyboards on the market. Like I said, we'll
just have to wait and see what Nokia put out. If you want a phone witha
standard keypad! The best thing you can do is to call Nokia for your country
and put in a suggestion that they put out some new Symbian phones with
standard keypads on them. The more people that call and have the suggestion
entered into the system! The more likely it will get done.

hi Maurice and all,
if you feel that you are not comftable with the virtual keyboard, you can
purches a USB keyboard or a bluetooth external keyboard
and hook to the N8. the N8 do come with a USB-OTG cable and you can use it
to connect a portable drive or external device with the
phone. with the external keyboard connected, you can use the phone as you
are with a laptop. but of course, talks is working find
with the setup. please purches keyboard that compatible with nokia phones
and bluetooth 3.0 is recommended.
HTH.

Hi All,
May I also put t my two pennith in here.
I agree with Alan that, however challenging it may seem, we are moving
into the Touch screen era.
For me as a totally Blind person , I have found this a challenge
especially
from the point of view of texting which I do a lot.
I have tried many talks-related nokia phones and others such as the HTC
desire and iPhone with speech output.
I find Texting slower than on a button phone.
I've also tried the touch screen phones that use a Qwerty keyboard for
texting and this is somewhat faster but, I don't always find it easy doing
this with one hand and standing up.
So, I'm migrating onto the N8 and so far really like it.
In Particular, what I like about this phone is the fact that you can have
either a Qwerty keyboard or number keypad with just one twist of the
phone.
It's taking a bit of getting use to but, I'm sure I will come around
and
I think Alan is right, it's the way things are going.
Just a personal view of course.
Maurice Press.

hi,
this is not my negative thought, but however, it could be the fact that we
need to face for now or in the very near future.
the technology is moving towards touchscreen era and for sure no one can
give a stop on it. as of this writing, many of nokia
buttons phone already dismiss from the market and for sure nokia have no
further plan to release any new buttons symbian phone which
is runs on symbian S60 9.3.
i'm sure everyone of us already aware that nokia have signed partner with
microsoft to release nokia WP7 phones at the end of this
year or the latest earlier next year. but however, nokia have no sign that
they will release any symbian buttons phone anymore,
though nokia announced that they will continue to support and release
symbian device, but it is only touchscreen phones or symbian^3
powered phones.
so, whether we like it or not, sooner or later, we still have to migrate
to
the world of touchscreen phones.
as of this writing, in my country "Malaysia", many of the nokia buttons
phone already dismiss from the market, unless those sellling
as a 2nd hand or use phones.
the following buttons phones still can be purches:
Nokia C5-00
Nokia E5-00
Nokia X5-01
Nokia 5320 (discontinued)
Nokia 6120C (limited stock)
Nokia 6670 slide (discontinued)
Nokia E63 (limited stock and color)
Nokia E72
Nokia E75 (limited stock)
so friends, in my personal opinion, why not take a test drive on a
touchscreen phone for now and learn the technology for the
future? since Nuance Talks already fully support on touchscreen phone from
version 5.00 until now 5.20.
again, above is my personal opinion.

Subject: [Talks] a new nokia phone?
hello list.
i am wanting to upgrade my current phone to a newer one.
my old nokia e65 is dying a slow death on me and i want to get some
feedback
from people on this list as to what they are using and
what they might be thinking of upgrading to.
my initial thoughts were of the nokia n8, but i really don't know if i am
willing to spend the sort of money that that phone is, to
find that i either don't like the touch screen or i just cant use it.
so, my idea is to ask around on here and see what people are using and
basically to find out what one is the best option.
thanks to all who give their feedback on this message.
kind regards.
stephen faill
