Hi Steve
I'm not disputing any of what you say, who would dare?
(smile). I'm just saying I was impressed with what I
found on the Iphone in a very short pl= ay
I had with it recently. I don't think I would ever
abandon Talks and Symbian for out and out texting as
using a tactile keypad must be quicker than using a
touch screen. But I like the concept of what Apple is
doing= ,
and I suspect that, whether we like it or not, more and
more phones will = be
adopting the touch screen method. I love Talks to bits,
but Nuance is somewhat slow to keep up with this
ridiculous demand for new phones. The= re
is nothing quite like going into a shop and purchasing
something right ou= t
of the box that will read some of these applications to
you. One of my t= axi
drivers had the cricket on his Iphone in the car one
evening when he took= me
home from work. He was listening to it on Five Live
Sports Extra, and th= e
quality was more than tolerable.
Good stuff.

Hi Jackie,
With respect, I can do the same almost at
http://braille.wunderground.com= ..
I can click on each day with my Symbian phone.
Don't get me wrong, I like some of the iPhone apps, but
the weather apps = are
easily do-able with Symbian. I also use an app called
S60 Weather which = is
free.
OK, it is not built in, but just as good.
All the best
Steve

Hi Carol
I can tell you that the weather program works on the
Iphone. Ash at S an= d S
has one, and he let me have a shot of Voiceover on it
one day. I was fascinated with the weather program, and
how you could click on each day = to
obtain the forecast. Mind you, it was the first time
I'd had my hands on= a
touch screen phone, so my fingers were all over the
place. It would be a steep learning curve for me
personally, but I'd be willing to give it a g= o
at some point in the not too distant futuredd=20
