Ask Sight & Sound Catherine. Sight & Sound are aware that it does not work with the N97 Mini as I told them. Also informed Freedom Scientific. Maybe it has to do with N97 Mini being a 5th generation phone but it works well with the other phones. Don't Sight & Sound have a service, well they did when Jackie worked there, where someone would come out and show you a Braille display, in that case, the person could try it with our phone and then you would know before purchasing it. There is a really nice man at Freedom Scientific who uses the Focus Blue all the time with his phone. I wrote to him too re the drivers but whether they do anything about it or not is anyone's guess. While I was disappointed, I have to say of course that the Focus Blue is excellent in conjunction with PC also. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Catherine Turner" <catherineturner2007@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Ah. Did you ask the manufacturer about this? Is there a particular reason why it doesn't work with the n97 mini? Is there any way of knowing before purchase whether it would work or not. I will have to ask Sight And Sound about it, but presumably if it didn't work I could return it for a refund.

So I am tentatively looking at braille display options. I need either to be able to write notes on the braille display, or for the display to work with my Nokia E5 mobile phone running Talks. Having used an 18 cell display for some time now I know I would not want to go below that. Am I right in thinking that the Focus 40 blue, at £1995 from Sight And Sound, would be the cheapest option?
