Hi Andrew,

You are able to back up on to the sim card. The sound effects are rubbish, things like dog barking cat strangled. I love jazz, country and some funky sounds and although the choice isn't great there is quite a selection. Sorry, have only used the phone for a couple of weeks so have not read all the manual. I think for any upgrades you would have to send it back to RNIB or the manufacturer as there isn't any facility to download from a computer. As I said it will repeat a phone number of any incoming call but you are not able to check the number digit by digit only as a whole number. I think this is its biggest drawback.

Regards

Mary

Hi,

You realise you will get loaded with questions now?!

Thanks for this Mary.  I have a review of it here which I listened to
again, the speech would probably misspronounce some of my messages
especially for a few contacts, so this is something to considder.  Do
you know if the numbers are stored on the sim card or in the phones
memory?  Also, are there any music polyphonic tones on - all the demo
showed was the monophonic beeper music tones followed by some sound
effects.

Since this phone will have quite low market, does the manual discuss the
firmware at all and how/if it could be upgraded?

Thanks.
Andrew.

Hi Steve,

I bought the phone because all I wanted was to be able to text and read
my phone book, check battery status which this phone does.  The voice is
strange to start with but you do get used to it.  The biggest drawback I
find is that you are not able to check your send or received messages
letter by letter.  You are able to have the whole text message read but
if you do not understand a word you are not able to spell it out.  I may
have missed something in the manual but that is how it seems to me.  I
also find a full stop hard to achieve, it seems fine doing commas and
colons but no matter how fast you press it does seem to find a
difficulty in the full stop.  The battery life in my phone seems as good
as my husband's Nokia.

Regards

Mary

Andrew,

You can change the sim card to your particular provider so I take it
that
means you can store everything on the sim card.

My present phone is a Nokia 3310, it might sound an old phone but, like
everyone else I too want the access to the phones features however, I'm
not
bothered about a camera but it seems most of the phones Talx works with
have
them and I find their keyboards too fiddly.

Steve
