Well I would have thought they should be buying the appropriate Blackberry
and software from Humanware for blind people. In the meantime I have
different phones, all that support e-mail and Internet. You mention a Nokia
C5 and that is OK but I would not go for that, even though I own one myself.
It is one of the cheaper models on the market with very small screen and has
no wi-fi capability so Internet access and e-mail will be via contract
service provider only. There are the Nokia E7, E6 and E5, all of which you
might like to consider running Talks Premium. Talks Premium costs £150 (I
think) for IMEI based and if you purchase Talks that is SIM based it is more
expensive. There are many people on this list, I hink who use touch screen
iPhone so that is another option. Finally of the 3 Nokia phones I mentioned
the E5 is not touch screen while the E6 and E7 are both touch screen and
controlled by qwerty keypad. The E5 also has a qwerty keypad.

Hi All
Looking for a bit of help for a colleague at work she was due to be issued
with a blackberry for receiving emails and so on while away from the office.
But for obvious reasons they are totally inaccessible and the software from
America never seems to have arrived here in the UK. So we are looking for
some help with a decent talks compatible phone that would allow email to be
sent and received. Someone had mentioned about a Nokia C5.
On the other side of things if the employer is offering blackberry’s to
sighted staff am I correct in thinking they should be buying the appropriate
phone and talks for blind employee.
Thanks
Sam
