Hi Mel.
I stand corrected if I'm wrong here, but I've got a feeling the only
Talks-compatible phones minus a camera are the Series 80 models.
Cheers,

Personally I think the 6680 is a good phone. A friend of mine has one and
it seems to work well with Talks. However, like George, I don't really want
the cameras and MP3 players, I just want a good quality phone that will run
Talks. Are there any Talks phones which aren't camera phones?

Then I'd equally seriously suggest you try before you buy, Mark. If I ever
see one of those again, I won't be responsible for what I do with it.
George.
