HI.
you can get an n86 from nokia, price £299 and I would recommend this
phone if you like big phones. got a swish camera too, eight megapixel,
and the build is good. great for one handed operation, if a bit large.

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?
Eleanor

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
