[access-uk] Re: TALKS in the UK

Hey Steve.

Any luck on them expanding out beyond Simbian?

Have of course a 6600, and a copy of Talks that I purchased from your goodself. But it's frustrating each and every time you meet a friend and they have a cute, smaller phone that has a better soundcard, tones, and features than my phone plus isn't weighty and doesn't always have a camera.

I have heard it is technically quote probably quote very possible to stick Talks on other phones but it's the scansoft tts they are using that causes the diffs?

Can you confirm or deny this?

Hi Neil,

As far as I know, Voda are only giving Talks free on the 6600, which is a
very old phone to say the least.

We don't give Talks free on any phone, however, when you buy from any
accessibility dealer, as opposed to a mobile phone company, you get Talks
Premium.  Neither Voda, nor any other tel co are allowed to sell or give
away Talks Premium, so you are getting added value if those applications
sound good to you.  If you don't need them however, Talks on a 6600 is OK,
if you also don't want 3G and all that good stuff.

All the best

Subject: [access-uk] TALKS in the UK

Hello folks,

I wonder if anyone can update me a little on the current situation re TALKS
and mobile phones in the UK. I've been away for a year now so I'm a little
out of touch. I take it that computer Room Services are still dealers for
TALKS: I certainly hope so.
I've also been hearing that Vodafone themselves are also supplying TALKS
with suitable handsets. I'm even hearing that if people sign up to a
contract with VF they will get TALKS for nothing.

Firstly, is this actually the case and if it is, what is people's experience
of the this in practice: does it actualy happen; do VF staff know about the
offer and indeed about TALKS.
And if so, what sort of prices have people paid for a new phone loaded with
TALKS. Is the Customer Services up to much from VF - its always been
first-rate for instance from CRS, so how does Vodafone compare?

Lastly, is there a UK dealer for the Mobile Speak software and does anyone
have any experience with them?

I'm asking this because we're looking at our options for how best to meet
the talking mobile needs of our members here in New Zealand, and I just want
to be clear what the current state of affairs is in Britain so I can do a
realistic comparison when negotiating.

With many thanks for any info people can give me,
