Hi Ronan, Going on your wish list, I'd tend to suggest that the Nokia 6680 with Talks might be a good purchase. Its better I think, than the N70, which is the phone I'm currently using. Its also worth looking at the new generation of windows-based smartphones, running both Windows Mobile and Windows Smartphone. While these phones do not currently support Talks, they are supported by both Dolphin's Pocket Hal and Smart Hal respectively and by Code factory's Mobile Speak Pocket and Mobile Speak Smartphone. Having seen these phones earlier this week I feel they have some definite advantages, especially in the way they interact with standard windows applications on your pc. It also looks like these devices will become more commonplace in the Mobile Phone market in the very near future. Hope this helps.

I am using a Nokia 6600 phone with Talks at present. I think I will need to replace the phone soon. What are people's recommendations on newer nokia phones? Here is my wishlist of features: To be able to run Talks, to have a Bluetooth connection To be able to attach with a USB cable to a pc To be able to play mp3 files to be able to run Loadstone gps to have a cable-based headset connection (or earphone connection) to listen to mp3 files I would like the keypad to be at least as easy and preferably easier than Nokia 6600 I find the keypad lock and unlock on Nokia 6600 a bit awkward and I think I would prefer a flipover type phone As a possible extra, I think I would like to be able to use a fold up qwerty keyboard for use with Quick Office Finally I would like to be sure it had enough memory and also to have it run a bit quicker than nokia 6600 Does anyone know if a phone with such a specification exists and what is your experience with it?
