Hi
I’
Ve seen various things about similar things recently. There are aps to making Google Android phones accessible starting to be developed and Apple have caught on and are doing something with iPhone. There are a few other more vague things I’ve heard about Nokia doing something that makes the touch screen vibrate as if it has braille on or something, but I don’t know any more than I’ve seen in Google alerts. 

Cheers
Dave

I did hear roomers of a project (I think in the Netherlands) to make touch screens accessible. The VI user would be able to use the four corners of the screen (one for back, one for forwards, one for enter etc). I am not sure if this is being used for mobile phones but I think it may be being rolled out for some ticket/cash machines over there. Next time I go I will try to get some more information. PS other thought! I think the idea was thought up in the 80s so someone owns the rights to it but I am not sure who or how/if/when it is being used. Sorry this is very vague but it is all the info I have. Perhaps some sort of open source program could be created to sit between software layers to take the screen layout and re-organize/adapt it for the VI user!

Wow, if they actually had software that would make a blackberry accessible that would be wonderful. I am not into the touch screen phones all that much but last blackberry I looked had the keyboard and was a nice looking phone. What, if any info is out there on work for accessibility of these phones? Just curious. Last time I had a phone sort of like what I want was a sampsung blackjack but I had serious issues with windows mobile freezing up all the time. Just something that is reliable and sterdy would be great. So far it's my nokia 6682 but it's starting to get out of date and time for something better.

Hi Sharon,
Some good ones to look at now, are the N79 and the N85. You may also like the N96, though personally, I find it a bit chunky. It works fine with Talks though. Also, if you like QWERTY keyboards, then the E71 may be one to look at. 

All the best

Subject: [bcab] buying a new mobile phone

Hi all,
Sorry this is slightly off topic.
I want to buy a new mobile handset. I use talks. Can anyone recommend a newer model as I’m finding it difficult to work out which is the newest phone as the lists I see have lots of phones which are now discontinued and numbers are not any indication of their date of production. 

Regards
Sharon
