Hello, Donald,
Actually, I think we should stay on the list with this discussion.  A lot of 
other people may be interested, too.  As I said in the below message, it has 
been a couple years since I was on the Nokia 9290 list, but at that time, 
the 9290 was going strong in the US and the 9210 was going strong in the UK 
and Europe.  You might dig through Nokia's web site to find any references 
to those phone/computers.  When I was interested in them, I thought they 
were pretty neat.

Regards

Dick Myers

OFF TOPIC I know!

Can somebody please write me off topic about cell phones? Does Nokia really
make a phone accessable to a totally blind person? I also heard that Verizon
makes a cell phone that is accessable. I am confused so I need some help
PLEASE!!!
