Nope, not JAWS.
There are two or three pieces of software which will work on some Nokia
phones.
T Mobile, Cingulair and, I believe AT&T are the providers on which the
Nokia phones will work.
U.S. Cellular has the LG 5550 which wil speak many of the functions,
announce caller id and voice dial without additional software. The LG
4500 is the same phone as the LG5550 but the LG 4500 will also work on
Cingular, AT&T and other providers.
