Dedicated TXT device

PS . Why d' y' want large buttons? The whole point is to make them smaller. And when , in sweet Jesus' sake are they going to get voice activation and recognition working properly. Why the hell should I HAVE to press buttons. Just make the phone do what I tell it. Yes I know what they claim. I've tried it. It's crap.

Pah, you've obviously got a crappy phone. My Nokia E71 adds voice tags to every single contact, automatically. Say it at the prompt, and it will dial it.

Of course, being the tags are automatic... you err... can't set them, so you have to know the entire contact name, which defeats the purpose a bit (if you put company names in etc). Then you have to say the contact like the phone, so it understands you

Who wants a simple phone? I browse the web, play music, take pictures, upload pictures, use Fring (connects to MSN and Skype for me), 2 gmail accounts and the work email via Mail for Exchange (plus contacts, calendar etc), Google Maps.... what can't it do is a better idea? I barely check my gmail accounts from a PC, its faster to do it on the phone. It connects to my bluetooth headset when at clients (handsfree), connects to car radios, connects to my GPS while on the bike...

Oh, I can also send and receive txts and phone calls... cool huh?

Prezactly so. In *theory* it works. In practice it's crap. You have to know the exact name. And if you've abbreviated it, you're shit out of luck. It should be able to figure out my abbreviations. I can, so it can't be hard. And you just try getting it to do something more than a voice call! And who makes voice calls these days ? How do you send a voice commanded txt through your phone? In *theory* "Text (insert name here)" on mine is supposed to. Hah! Let alone "open Google maps and goto current location' Nine times out of ten all you get is "please repeat" message recorded by some chick with a ghastly voice who obviously totally desparately needs to be rooted by an elephant that's been away at sea for the last three months. It's crap.
