I don't personally think the voice is that clear on the iPhone. Have you tried the American or Austraillian variants? The latter is pitched slightly differently and any twang in the accent might actually be useful information. The answer is that there are hearing loops available to work with the iPhone. I am across a page with these on without intending to look for them. Regards.

So please can people stop being sarcastic and answer the questions in a civilised and helpful manner or keep quiet Debbie -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Williams Sent: 11 February 2011 12:41 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: mobile phones question Dave, Why can't people ask a quite legitimate question without it being put down by a sarcastic comment? What will people say when Apple have killed off all the competition and there is no choice out there?
