Hi,

There are as far as I know three bluetooth braille keyboards that will work with Mobile Speak products. I have just joined this list to find out more about the Sendero GPS, as GPS coming to the smartphone has got me interested.

I use to use Nokia maps before switching to a smartphone and wouldn't consider using PACmates or Braillenotes as a GPS because they are to bulky. At least with a phone, it is pocket size and is always with you, so should you need to use GPS, it's already there.

I to don't have a problem using phone keyboards, mine is an O2 graphite which just has a regular phone keypad and not a built in QWERTY and I prefer it that way as typing with T9 is quite quick and can easily be done one handed. I realise everyone will have different needs and thoughts on this, so this is just my 2 bob worth, Smile.

I will probably think of questions to pester you guys with down the track, Smile.

Cheers,
Brett.

See I disagree with you here. I love the tiny keyboards, especially on the Treo although the mogul isn't bad. The Treo was all about onehanded use and even the Mogul works nicely although easier with two hands. I love the tiny keys and can press them very fast by twitching the tips of my fingers. I have good dextarity though, someone with physical challenges would have an issue but they probably wouldn't own a device like this in the first place. Another thing to remember, nothing says you can't use some sort of bluetooth input device. I don't know if such a thing exists but I bet a braille input keyboard would be fairly simple to design if one doesn't exist.

Seems to me the big question will involve ease of use of this gps
product when you're actually out and about. The dinky keyboards I've
seen on phones are horrible; I can't imagine trying to use one  one
handed for anything serious.
