Mobile accessibility is available from Code Factory and is available in the UK. You can use any android phone with either a trackpad, trackball, arrow keys and hardware keyboard.

Debbie _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: 20 February 2012 14:30 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Help with Mobiles 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Howie, Sam <mailto:Sam.Howie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: 'BCAB Discussion List' <mailto:bcab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ; 'access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 1:55 PM Subject: [access-uk] Help with Mobiles 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.
