The N75, N73 and other Symbian 9.1 phones have two web browsers on them. The pressing and holding of 
the 0 on the Symbian 9.1 phones starts the Services web browser another words the WAP browser. This 
browser is called Services in the Menu of the phone.

The Menu item that is called WEB starts a much newer web browser that is more of a HTML web browser 
and has much more abilities.

The newer Symbian 9.2 phones like the N82, E51 only have the newer WEB browser and do not have the 
old services browser.

First of all; I would suggest that you try both screen readers and see
what one meets your needs the
best.

MobileSpeak will work with the Nokia version of RealSpeak on the N75
along with the standard Nokia
TTS that is built into all 3rd Edition phones.

Talks will work with the WEB menu browser and the services web browser.
MobileSpeak will only work
with the Services web browser at this time.


Both screen reader will work with all function other then the above and
give you the information in
a different order.

MobileSpeak works better with the N75 flip over the latest version of
Talks.

However with Talks you have the built in Icon labeler and dictionary
along with Application specific
settings ability.

So I would suggest that you try both screen readers and see what
function you use and then make your
purchase based on that.

Both screen readers will give you a 30 day trial code on request. So you
can use a screen reader for
the full 60 days before making your purchase. But in reality people
normally know what screen reader
they want within a few days of using one or the other.
