This is getting fascinating, John.Do you hear the icon announced or can you read what it is on your display having done dot 4 and space? Are you connected via Bluetooth or USB? Do the information messages your phone sends come up on the
braille display also?Sorry about all these questions but I'm genuinely interested and so you're not going to be wasting time by giving me the answers here.
Thanks very much.

but of course on the apex that will take you to help. cheers now. At 16:02 28/08/2010, you wrote:So you're saying you actually write the text of the email using your Apex?
Sorry, John, but I don't want to misquote you on this one! Can you use the Apex on the opening screen, for example, to find something you want to go to?

apex braille keyboard. """what do dealers know eh""" "smile" "smile" "smile" so it can be done. At 15:03 28/08/2010, you wrote: Thanks John.

cheers. At 12:51 28/08/2010, you wrote: John, I really would like you to explain what things you can do easier if you connect a braille display. As I understand it, you can't actually write your message using the BrailleNote, can you? Have you thought about one of those (whatever they call them) template type things that go over the screen and enable you to position your hands better? What extra apps are you using? -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ---- Original Message ---- From: "John Gallagher" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 28, 2010 11:22 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Iphone 4 Hi there I have the iphone 4 and from my point of view it is much better than the three. it is the 32 gb and the access is truly great though a big learning curve learning how to use it.
