Yes, it is very easy. Just turn on Bluetooth, turn on the Connect and do a search for it on the phone and pair it. Pairing code is 0000. You will need the Talks driver for it though. I'll dig that out and send it you over the weekend.

No, you need a watch that is so big it hardly fits your wrist, even if you have big wrists! And it has to look as if it has been built from a recycled stainless steel sink! And to complete the package, a larger than necessary round black speaker on the top of the watch which builds the sound volume to something akin to a screaming child at feeding time. ...It will fall apart anyway in no time so, don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunity to buy another one. ...Louder rooster on mine please. In fact, I miss that thing so much, I am gonna have to see if I can make a ringtone! ...So, off to the local blind resource centre for me to record an RNIB watch or two I think!

I just can't understand why RNIB and various other commercial companies haven't cottoned on to the idea that not all blind people are stereo-typical dark glasses, white stick and nasty tacky plastic rooster touting talking watch kind of people! None of the talking watches available are particularly sexy to look at lets face it, especially not compared to watches for fully sighted people, not even the metal ones. I've seen some incredibly sexy rectangular face watches for fully sighteds that just look like they're a continuation of the wrist strap, and something like that would be really nice with a voice. I know someone is bound to say that the components required to make a watch talk are too bulky for such a design, but that's utter nonsense! The components can be made to fit a much smaller housing than the talking watch housings currently available. Matt----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren Harris" <darren_g_harris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I am a bit fed up at present, want to buy the Wayfinder, got one price from RNIB, another at Sight Village from theCompany and another from Computer Room Services. Now I am not complaining about any of these Agents for the product but thecheapestprice came at Sight Village here in London and they did not say itwasfor the day only. I thought I had time to go away and think about it.Now I am not going to purchase it. In fact it was only when I asked Steve or someone on the Access list a question about upgrading Talks that a person at RNIB who had
told meIcould not upgrade then said it was news to her that I could upgradefromVodafone Talks to Premium Talks on another phone for £50.00. ThatfromRNIB Hi-Tech!

In other words, you buy Phone A, you then use Phone A to upgrade toPhoneB. You can still use Phone B to upgrade to Phone C, but you can't usePhoneA to upgrade to Phone C. So in other words, if you sell on Phone A,
the new customer can't use it for an upgrade, if you have done so.
