We are happy to come out and show a Braille display - Focus 40 Blue is
cheapest( £1995), The Esys range that we also do is lightest and now has the
Jaws driver signed off, the 12 cell Esys is popular for mobile phone usage
(£1595) and the 40 is light and usable (£3395).
We can connect it to your mobile and see how it works in real life and if it
works for you. If it does, great and if it doesn't no problem either.
Regards
Glenn
(Sight and Sound)

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.
