Hi Peter, OK, if you want to type a C, you hit the number two three times quickly. But remember, Talks is reading the letters out to you all the time you are typing, if you want it to. If you don't, you turn off keyboard echo. Not only that, I also use Bluetooth keyboards on my phone, so I have a tiny fold-up keyboard, that goes in my pocket like a calculator, so if I want to write longer texts, or Emails, I use the Bluetooth keyboard, which is a full QWERTY keyboard. Also don't forget, that the Nokia communicators have QWERTY keyboards themselves, all be they very small ones, but still usable by us. All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.

I mean, how the devil can you type a message text. How exactly do you send, 'Be home for supper' on a cell phone. I was always under the impression that you had to actually hit the letters/numbers on the numpad to do so.
