Hi Barry and Ray.
Barry, You wrote:
It runs on series 60 and 80 phones.
But you use a 7610. Is this more advanced than the 60 80 series? Or is
the 7610 in that same 60 80 grouping.
I take it also that these phones themselves are up in the 100 pounds region.
Does it matter which provider I go with. I like T mobile and would like to
stick with them.
I've been on the internet, looking at prices, but they don't like to give
them out, do they.
Perhaps I'll give Steve an email and see what he can put together for me.
Sounds great though.
Many thanks.

Hi Peter,
It isn't the phone, it's the TALKS software... It runs on a range of Series
60 and 80 phones, most of them Nokia, and gives you almost total access to
all of the features of the phone. The series 60 and 80 are smart phones,
which means that they are almost a PDA and you can load additional software
onto them, for example, the Wayfinder GPS system. You load on the TALKS
software and it's a pretty damned fine screen reader for these little
beasties.
I use a Nokia 7610 and have access to the internet, to email, to TXT
messages, to my contacts, diary, to do lists etc. and can change almost all
of the settings at will, ringtones, whether or not my caller ID is sent, for
example. I also get to see who is calling me when I get an incoming call.
In short, I now have access to almost all of the features that these very
powerful little devices now have to offer. Add a bluetooth QWERTY keyboard
and you have something with almost the capabilities of things like the
braillenote or the FS equivalent offering for a fraction of the price,
although it will cost you a bit more to get the Braille bits to work that
way - but I don't know why you would bother with the Braille option unless
you were deaf-blind. In fact, it is actually able to do a lot more than
these devices in many ways...
You buy the phone on whatever contract/tariff/deal you fancy and then buy
the software from your friendly local TALKS dealer, install it and away you
go.
I got mine from Steve Nutt at Computer Room Services - give him a call, he
won't do the pressure sell but will give you straight answers and a good
service. Talk to him. I think Steve can supply the phones as well if you
want.
I would not/could not survive without TALKS.

Ggod knows. See, shows how much I know.I just hear about this fantastic
phone that is worth two hundred and fifty pounds and I wonder wwhy. It's a
nokea, I think, and it comes with software, Talx I believe. Why is it worth
that much. Does its menus speak? Can you read its text messages? Why are
folks so ready to part with two hundred and fifty pounds for a phone?

Peter
