Hi Andrew, Well the size is certainly smaller than your N-Gage. It is more like the size of the 3650 if you have seen it, perhaps a bit thicker. It would certainly do what you want, though I don't know about the battery life, as I only saw it for about an hour. But if making calls and the odd text is all you want, then it's probably fine, though the speech quality is vastly inferior to that of Talks.

Hi Steve, Do you know anything about the battery life and the relative size on this phone? One thing I have an issue with my N-Gage is the fact it is quite large, plus the battery drains very quickly, thus I was thinking of one of these phones. Will I be disapointed, I only use the N-Gage for ringing and text messages? Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Nutt Sent: 26 February 2005 15:36 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Owasys Mobile Phone. Hi Steve, Depends on what features you want. If you want a bog standard mobile phone, then it's OK, though I don't rate the speech very highly at all. It's a kind of Spanglish, English-cum-Spanish. Text messages may be a little hard to hear, though I only saw it at RNIB for about an hour. But it does the basics very well, and certainly has some interesting ringtones. What you won't get is a display, so sighted people won't be able to help you, you won't be able to transfer ring tones from your PC, as you have no Bluetooth, and in fact, you won't be able to download ring tones either, as you have no way of communicating with the phone. But if all you want to do is to ring mum or dad, or the hospital, it's fine, though 300 quid is a little steep I would suggest. I hope this helps a little.

Hi list, Have any of you yet used the Owasys 22C mobile phone? I'd like to know what you think and, is it worth getting. Steve
