Hi Bernie, Firstly there is a lot of info re that phone on the internet, a good smart phone. I'm on a few good access lists but never heard of it mentioned re accessibility/audio. Yes Paul's suggest is good with regard to contacting NCBI but what with the hols season imminent perhaps the person you really need to talk to could be away. Anyway ever think of the iPhone or the one that Jackie mentioned on this list a little while back (can't remember it's name)! Happy hunting.
