I have not so old phone (Nokia N73, I keep it because of Nokia Audiobook
application which does not work on newer versions of Symbian) - do you
think it's acceptable for my device?

BTW if you have only words, you probably loose all prosodic informations.
The phrase is not simply concatention of words. Phrase has its own
intonation (question, exclamation, sentence, comma, etc.). Of course - it's
possible to record all words (and all possible concatentions for last 4
syllables). But my terabyte disk is too small...

Please, don't reinvent the wheel!
