Best Greetings All,
I am doing the exact thing, searching for a mobile cell with talk and GPS
which might accept further aps. I heard of a Motorolo offered by Vhorizon
with Talk and one can add the GPS later, is this good or is there
something better?
Serious help needed with good reasonable plan and Thanks!

 the N82 is not a slider phone, it is a candybar type.

  Hi,
  
  You need to be careful buying ATT phones if you want to continue 
 to use 
  talks.  Locked phones can sometimes prohibit the installation of 
 3rd party
 
  applications.
  
  Your best bet is to purchase an unlocked phone then insert your 
 sym card 
  into it!
  
  Of course, you will need to transfer your talks lisence to the 
 new
 phones's 
  EMEI for a cost.
  Another thing you can try is to contact ATT and see if they still 
 offer
 an 
  accessible phone which is a contract phone with talks installed.  
 They
 used 
  to do this with the Nokia 6682 but that is an older phone and may 
 in fact
 be 
  the one you are using.
  
  Nokia phones come in many form factors i.e. slider, candy bar, 
 flip etc.
  
  The N82 is a very popular slider phone and works well with talks.  
 You can
 
  also pick up an N95-3 which is also a slider phone with loads of 
 features 
  including 3g connectivity.
  
  It really depends on what you want the phone to do.
  
  
  
  Good candy bar phones that work well with talks are the N73, N79 
 and E51
 and 
  E71.
  
  Don't grab the E71X from ATT as it is locked and I have heard 
 that users 
  are having issues installing talks on it.

  Hi listers,
  
  I hope that this is not off topic for this list, but my 
 cell
  phone died after four years and I'll need to replace it.  Its so 
 old
  that at the att store here in the sticks of Gardner Mass, they 
 told
  me that they no longer could replace the battery a year ago when 
 I
  first started having problems.  I got a new battery on the 
 internet,
  at ebay, and thusly extended the phone's life for quite
  cheaply.  However, now I think its about time to get a new one.
  
  So, I am an a t and t customer.  What would be a good 
 phone
  to get.  I've been using the talks software, but, I think that is 
 not
  transferrable.  Who can help.  I thought I'd never get a cell 
 phone
  millenia ago, but having done so, now I can't live without one.  
 I
  don't think I want to pay for data plans and all, but, what works 
 as
  a solution these days.  Thanks, in advance, for any ideas!
  
  Rusty

Re: How to play avi files

Hi

I have been given some avi films, is there any way I can
convert them into dvd's to play on my tv? 

As has been previously mentioned, newer DVD players can handle .AVI
files just fine.  Best thing to do is waste a CD and try it.  If it
works, you know the rest.  If it doesn't, see above.  My old Apex
el-cheapo-less-than-fifty-dollars special I bought at a chain store
handles them just fine.  If you want to play them on your PC, Winamp
can do it, but you'll need plug-ins for the AC3 audio and the XVid
(DivX) video.  Supposedly VLC can do this as well without any add-ons
or plug-ins.  Can't say for sure as I've not tried that yet myself.

In addition to the comment by DJC below,  you would probably 
receive more help from the phones list than this one.  
Perhaps someone can post the subscription information.
