Does Nokia manufacture any flips at all, I'm not sure but I don't think so. I've only ever seen the bar style of phones and possibly one clamshell flip design sometime back. Nokia always seemed to like the big rectangular form factors. Sited Bricks=)

In fact, the N82 does have an eighth inch jack which supports a wired
headset, or line out for speakers. This jack also supports a video signal 
for watching your video recordings.

I don't think the audio out is exactly 8th inch.  Cell phones use a
slightly different wired adapter that feels very similar although I can't 
recall the spec off hand.

Hmmm,  I wonder if my N82 is defective.  When I plugged in a standard
eighth-inch cord from the phone to an external speaker, audio kept
playing from
the phone.  It didn't switch to the external speaker.

I also think the KNFB Reader Mobile is an excellent product with a lot 
of
potential. I use it daily for a variety  of tasks ranging from reading
my
mail, to class handouts, to recipes I want to try. In terms of the GPS
solution, I'm currently trying out Wayfinder Access and I like the
concept,
but not necessarily the implementation. Fortunately, it does have its
uses
as it did get me to my location successfully this morning at 2:00 AM
when I
needed to send out a package via FedEx. In order to get around the low
audio
issue, I'm currently using my N82 with a small speaker I purchased from 
Sendero. This speaker just plugs in to the headset jack and functions
rather
well from inside my jacket pocket. Unfortunately it is not Bluetooth,
however, it gets the job done rather nicely, giving you crisp audio
response
from your phone. Needless to say, I managed to find the FedEx Kinko's
with
little to no trouble at 2:00 Am, while traveling the traffic filled
streets
of Chicago. I also want to say that I'd never traveled the root by foot 
until this morning, which is a plus for Wayfinder Access.

I am really liking the KNFB reader on the phone. Sure, the phone doesn't 
have the fastest processor on the planet but the ability to scan and
read
something independently is absolutely fantastic. You literally have to
press a couple buttons and you are hearing the scanned information.
GPS on a phone is a different thing altogether. For one thing, using it while walking around is an issue in terms of hearing the information or 
holding the phone up to your ear or using a headphone.
You typically need to have everything announced automatically, which
Wayfinder doesn't do, or do a lot of key presses, which is a hassle
when
walking around.
These user interface issues on a cell phone must be addressed before
GPS
is practical or productive.

P.S. Sendero carries the KNFB reader.

Yes, it is released.  I have one here.  It is the N82 phone, which
runs
on the
Symbian OS.

Hello,
Is there any information about the new
phone endorsed by NFB that has the GPS along with the scanner?
