Hi James,

It is not on its way out at all.  In fact the N91 8GB will be out soon, if
it is not out already.  So where did you get that from?

All the best

Hi steve

Interesting to hear about Audible support for the N91, that was one of the
major shortcomings you pointed out in your review of it for your Podcast and
for Infotech magazine, so good to hear it's been addressed, even if the
phone is more or less on its way out.
