The Symbian operating system is dying--a slow, lingering,
debilitating, painful, agonizing death.
Windows Mobile likewise is obsolete, and furthermore, is being
replaced by an inaccessible Windows Phone 7.
Android? Fragmented, unpredictable, inconsistent, partial
accessibility, a moving target whose developers keep changing the
rules.
I'll stick with a device that will identify my cash, whose GPS will
get me where I'm going, allow me to read thousdands of newspapers,
tons of free apps, even make phone calls, and whose restore functions
are 100% accessible if the phone should ever "mess up."

>> Mobile Speak 5 for Symbian
>> Mobile Speak 5.0 for Symbian is now available!
>> Support for Symbian^3, Support for Nokia Email, New Review Cursor feature
>> Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, March 17th, 2011 Mobile Speak 5.0, a free
>> update for all users of Mobile Speak 4.0, is now available for download!
>>
>> Support for Symbian^3
>> Symbian^3 is simpler, faster and better. While this latest version of
>> Symbian will remain familiar to existing Symbian users worldwide, it
>> includes more than 250 new features and improvements, such as a simplified
>> user interface, enhanced multimedia features, and more customization
>> abilities. Mobile Speak supports all the Symbian^3 devices currently
>> available: Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia C7 and Nokia C6-01. The Nokia E7 is
>> the only one with a slide-out four row QWERTY keyboard. It is a device
>> designed primarily with the business user in mind. They all have an AMOLED
>> capacitive touchscreen, 3.2 inches for the C6-01, 3.5 inches for the C7
>> and the N8, and 4 inches for the E7. The C6-01 is a compact touchscreen
>> and the most budget-friendly. The C7 is very slim and has a sleek design.
>> The N8 is the first Nokia Symbian^3. It features a 12 Megapixel camera and
>> a full metal chassis with anodised scratch-proof paint to give the phone a
>> really high-end feel.
>>
>> As the Nokia N8 and Nokia E7 do not have physical dial and hang up keys,
>> Mobile Speak features two new gestures: slide down and left (in the shape
>> of the letter "L" reversed) and slide down and right (letter "L"), which
>> can be used as the Dial and Hang Up key respectively.
>>
>> Nokia Email
>> As per the request of many users, Code Factory has added support for the
>> new Nokia email application on many 3rd FP2 devices (e.g. N86, E52, E72,
>> E5, C5) as well as touch devices (e.g. N97 mini, N8, E7). On touch
>> devices, support is included also when reading emails in html format. The
>> full email will be read by default, so it is not necessary to move down
>> one line at a time to listen to the full email. Command shortcuts in
>> reading layout (e.g. read by words, by sentences, by paragraphs, etc) are
>> available when reading email. In addition, pressing joystick up / joystick
>> down will speak the previous / next paragraph.
>>
>> Review Cursor
>> Mobile Speak also features a new review cursor mode (Command + 3 to
>> toggle). This is available on both touch screen and standard keyboard
>> devices. Once the review cursor has been activated, you can navigate
>> around the screen virtually using the joystick. Joystick up/down moves to
>> the previous/next element, joystick left/right moves character by
>> character in the element, while joystick enter will open the currently
>> selected virtual element (where possible).
>>
>> More
>> a.. Touch: Long press of # key in editors now switches between
>> number/text writing mode.
>> b.. Touch: Added support for Video and Photo browser lists.
>> c.. Braille: Improved Braille Cursor mode.
>> d.. Apps: Support for the latest version of TweetS60.
