It runs Symbian Series 60, 3rd edition, so it should run TALX with minimal 
revisions. That the built-in GPS application might be accessible is an entirely 
different (and less likely) proposition. I would suspect that the GPS receiver 
could be made usable with a custom application or extension to TALX etc. for 
blind people.

Does anyone know whether or not this phone will run on a simbian OS, and if 
it will work with talks or mobile speak? I knwo this is a bit off topic, but 
perhaps this gps may be friendly for the blind if it works with talks or 
mobile speak.
