These tiny features on phones is something like thinking a car is only good for sitting in the front seat and listening to the radio. After syncing my nokia 3650 with my outlook calendar and contacts, I have a full schedule and phone book at my finger tips. The thing is nearly as handy as any of the specialized devices I could spend 10 times more $ on. I don't even have one of the more powerful phones.. And now there are wireless keyboards both braille and qwerty. The addition of a bit of software may put devices like the pacmate or braillenote out of production. I understand there is a symbian phone available ... Soon anyway with verizonwireless. I don't know about any other vendor... In the meantime, I cheerfully broke my contract with vzn claiming they coulden't provide me with a usable piece of machinery. I picked mobile speak and it works fine other then a few strange behaviors mostly attributable to it trying to be too helpful. joel -----Original Message----- From: guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Raul A.
