Hi Eleanor,
I think it is because FS haven't produced any 5th Edition Symbian drivers.
This means it will only work with 3rd Edition phones.
All the best
Steve

Ask Sight & Sound Catherine. Sight & Sound are aware that it does not work
with the N97 Mini as I told them. Also informed Freedom Scientific. Maybe
it has to do with N97 Mini being a 5th generation phone but it works well
with the other phones. Don't Sight & Sound have a service, well they did
when Jackie worked there, where someone would come out and show you a
Braille display, in that case, the person could try it with our phone and
then you would know before purchasing it. There is a really nice man at
Freedom Scientific who uses the Focus Blue all the time with his phone. I
wrote to him too re the drivers but whether they do anything about it or not
is anyone's guess. While I was disappointed, I have to say of course that
the Focus Blue is excellent in conjunction with PC also.
