Hi Ian - yes they're a no-no.
however as they are in the main used simply to push email you could just
go for a standard mobile devices with screenreader installed, one of the
nokia e series with talks, mobile speak or the portable hal solution, or
alternatively a dedicated pda with pocket hal or the code factory
equivalent. any appropriate device with Email connectivity if that's
your primary requirement. make sure that it supports your employers
email system eg if they use an exchange server rather than pop3. if
going down the mobile phone route you'll likely as not want a portable
fullsized keyboard too.

Subject: [access-uk] BLACKBERRIES
A seasonal question. Are Blackberry products a complete no-no in terms
of accessibility or being made accessible for blindies? I'm about to
change jobs and my new employer and I are exploring mobile communication
options.
