From my limited experience of two purchases of a bc640 and bc 680 my payment 
was to them

Hi David.

Do optilec now supply the alva Braille displays directly?  They didn't used to 
do this.  instead they used Quantum.  This always seemed rather odd to me so it 
is good that they have fixed this.

Regards

Graham

I use an Alva BC640 with Feature Pack.
It either charges from the mains supply, or from the USB port.
Apart from being a Braille output device for a PC through the USB port, it can 
be linked by Bluetooth to a PC using a dongle, it can also be used through 
Bluetooth to an iPhone in which mode it can, to a limited extent, be used as a 
controller for the iPhone (but not for inputting Braille).
The Braille input facility is on the Feature Pack, and in this configuration it 
can also be used as a speech synthesizer and independent note taker also.

The service from Optelek is absolutely superb.

Prior to making my choice, I contacted Humanware and was disappointed that they 
replied to my telephone message over a week later.

Does anybody have strong view on the best Braille displays?
I would like one which would allow me to input in Braille?
Thanks
