Eleanor,
Sorry, I have used a N70, E 65 and currently a 6210 Navigator; all Nokias.
I like the music player, and ability to video and take a picture, as I can do
this if I need to send a picture to my wife, or someone else, say regarding a
piece of funiture, whether it is suitable etc.
Calculator and converter functions are useful and calendar and notes. I would
of have liked Sat nav, but not sure how accessible it is, I don't find mine on
the 6210 very accessible.
Not sure about the touch screen phones, as I usually have the phone in my
pocket; perfect combination for a burst screen!
Thanks,
Mike

Mike I disagree with you about the qwerty which is excellent once you know
the keyboard. I found it strange at first but persevered and love it now and
am as quick on it as I was on the numeric one. Indeed I was painfully slow in
the beginning. It depends on whether you are going to have Talks put on by
Vodafone or get an unbranded phone. Getting the unbranded gives you more
choice as these service providers have very rapid turnover. On the other hand
there are people with no vision using touch screens, personally I would not
recommend it though I have one but use my residual vision with it. maybe one
day I will be good at it without looking but I doubt it. I think you want to
get a list of compatable phones either on the RNIB website, Sight and Sound
website or Blindsea website then armed with that go around the shops and try
and get your hands on one so that you can feel for yourself what it is like.
You do not tell us ifyou have been using a mobile phone and Talks up to this
and if so what model?

Hi all,
I am looking for a new mobile. I am a totally blind person, so talks etc
will be necessary.
Technology does not bother me, I can adapt quite quickly.
I am not sure about the Qwerty layout, I think it would be hard to use with
one hand, if on the move etc; as Damon mentioned about the iPhone.
Suggestions would be appreciated,
Kind regards,
Mike
