phones are quad band GSM Symbian phones. These phone will not be sold by AT&T but will work fine

> 1. A unlocked phone.
> 2. A unbranded phone that works better.
> 3. Doesn't have any of the AT&T stuff on it as far as shareware or

> 4. Getting the phone as Nokia atended it to be put out.

> Also by doing it this way; You will not be required to sign a new

> This will also give you the ability to choose from a good 20 plus

> Remember; All Symbian series 60 3rd Edition phones will work with either

> That away you can trial both

>> Keith,
>> I believe you are talking about www.letstalk.com
>> Now, as I understand it, AT&T (Cingular) now will (should) offer you a
>
>> Nokia N75 with the Mobile Speak. They should charge you $89 for the
>> mobile speak and I think I saw the N75 from AT&T for $99? Now, (okay
>> Stephen, step in here) I also think they will have one of their
>> Windows based phones with the Microsoft version of Mobile Speak as
>> well. Currently the Microsoft version of Mobile Speak is, in my
>> opinion, a better deal because you can swap phones, upgrade phones or
>> whatever *without* a charge. This is *not* currently true for the
>> Symbian versions of Mobile Speak. HTH, Cy, the ancient Okie...

>> Hi,
>>
>> My cell contract is up and I would like to upgrade my phone and
>> possibly service.  Currently, I have a Nokia 6620 with Talks.
>> Cingular is my service provider.  We get 500 minutes  a month for $60
>> (two phones).  It seems like there was a web site that offered great
>> deals on phones and service, but I don't recall the name.  Anyone have
>
>> recommendations?
>>
>>
>> If you can recommend some phones to check out and if Talks is still a
>> better screen reader, let me know.
>>
>> Thanks,
