[gps-talkusers] Re: Phone/scanner

At the risk of jumping way off topic, when plugging in headphones to the N82, the phone asks you for a choice of what you want the headphones to do, such as headphones, headset, and several other more off-the-wall uses. So you need to make this choice before the headphones start working.

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?
