Eleanor!
I have changed the subject line but need to go aftter this now!
Perhaps one day it will be standard as say Apple products usually have in-built
accessibility; that would be definitely the way to go for the future me thinks!

You cannot Tony as Talks is additional software purchased independently and
then put on a Nokia phone. It has nothing to do with Nokia or other phone
manufacturers having to supply it.

I would also genuinely be interested to know if one could drop in to say a
high street mobile phone store
and purchase a Talks-supported nokia off the shelf (linked to no
particular provider); I doubt it yet at any rate!
Fingers crossed for the future though!
Trust that I won't have to clarify this post too! (smile)!

Tony if I may correct you a little, this has nothing to do with Vodafone
only offering a few phones with Talks. Talks works on a certain cymbian
platform and works best wish phones with tactile keyboards. However, the Talks
developers are doing their best to keep up with Nokia and other phone
manufacturers to provide Talks on touch screen phones. I think Vodafone are to
be commended for providing Talks free of charge rather than critising them for
not providing sufficient types of phones.

Hi Jackie,
As I understand it, Vodafone provide Talks free of charge so
consequently they pay!
Now they are only prepared to offer this on a couple of older phones.
I know it's a bit of a pain as you can't have it free from them on say
newer phones but that's how it is I'm afraid.
Regards,
Tony Sweeney

Dear Eleanor,
The one thing stopping Jackie from buying her own phone would be the
price. If you want to purchase a handset without an airtime contract,
the cost can be prohibitively expensive. And then she'd have to buy
and install the TALKS software herself. A daunting prospect for many
non-techies,
John
