Hi Paul

Just to add to that info re the 6101 when you mention buttons, the buttons are quite close but not too small. They are better than a lot of ones I've checked out. Lets put it this way, I am able to touch text using it but, like everything, it did take a bit of getting used to.

I think I'm still in mourning for my chunky 3510i...:)

Hi Edel,

Thanks for this information. I did get a few requests in the past regarding
large button and screen phones and so I will keep this piece of info.

Paul.

Hi all

You may recall I inquired on the list about a phone with large print when my

nokia 3510i came to the end of its natural life a few weeks back, well, I
upgraded to a 6101.

The phone book and text message print is quite good and the main menus are
just about adaquate but some of the smaller detail for example checking
names in the call register or using the reminders and calander are 'very'
small.

Just thought I'd share this with you in case anyone is in the same
predicament.  I'd still like to know if anyone has found a phone to match
the quality of the 3510i.  Such a pity they don't make them anymore.

Any info on phones with speech would also be welcome.  Its not an option
I've explored yet but would like to know whats out there.

Thanks in antic...

Edel

Hi Noreen,

Thanks for that info, I didn't know the voice mate was discontinued, it
was
a great little piece of equipment as long as the battries weren't allowed
run out for two long. Can anyone else on the list give us more ideas for
useful equipment they use everyday?.

Paul.

Hi Susan & Paul,
For reminders, memos etc. I use the Voice Mate and also my mobile. I find
the Voice Mate just great but unfortunately, Breda, NCBI Shop tells me
that
the Voice Mate has been discontinued and the replacement is not as good
and
also bigger which is a disadvantage for carrying around.

Hi Susan,

I suppose this is one of the reasons I use "Microsoft Outlook". It has
a built in appointments calendar, you can set up alarms and works
pretty nicely with jaws. Note that Microsoft outlook is different than
Outlook Express but the only major differences between the two email
programs is that Microsoft Outlook has more features such as I
described. I have also taken to using  my mobile phone recently for
reminders so you might want to look at that but maybe other people on
this list will come forward and give us their thoughts on what they
use.

Paul.
