Hi Mandy

I would think a phone call to RNIB would answer all your questions and concerns 
directly.

Subject: [access-uk] DM5 and DM675.

This is going to sound crazy to most I suppose, it is!

In March I bought the DM5 and it didn’t take long to get used to most of the 
functions:  I made some good sound recordings mostly family and friends and 
then because one of my friends was impressed with the recordings, she bought 
the same product except that it wasn’t – she purchased it from RNIB as I had 
done but it is the 675 which is presumably newer.  It has three microphones 
instead of two, it doesn’t have Daisy facility and there are a couple of other 
differences.
I thought tat with three microphones it would produce better recordings so I 
now have one as well as the DM5 but find that it is far less accessible.  There 
is speech but it doesn’t work with all the functions.  My question is:  is it 
likely to be updated as the DM5 has been and how will I become aware of these 
updates?
Am I correct in thinking I have 14 days to return this product (it arrived last 
Saturday) and if there is a fair chance of it being updated with more speech I 
will keep it.  I am certain that the DM5 did not originally speak the time 
settings as this does not:  probably more things besides.

Sorry for the long post:  I do hope it has made sense.

Mandy.
