[gui-talk] Mobile Speak on Nokia N75

[slery]

I read that in the manual also, but when I installed, there were four
options.  One of them was the 30 day trial.  The install software pulled the
serial number/IMEI number from my phone for me.

I did just realize you are using a symbian phone where as, I am using a
Pantech Duo.  However, I suggest trying the 30 day demo.  Also, be
persistent with AT&T.  I never did receive an email from them but I did get
it over the phone after about the fifth call and four months after I had
actually paid for the license.
