Hello fellow listers,
It was nine years ago I purchased my first mobile phone with Talks installed,
after about two years using the Owasys 23C. My first Talks phone was the
Nokia 3650, then the Nokia 6600, both secondhand, then a new N91, followed by
a secondhand N95 8GB and finally a refurbished N86. Now, for me, an end to a
great era of accessibility with Talks, and with the arrival of my new Samsung
galaxy S4 Mini with Telorion installed this week, a beginning of an exciting
new one. My wife Moray purchased her phone last April and uses ZOOM to access
the phone. She is very pleased with it. My phone has VOX running with the
elastoma keypad.
For me, it is quite a learning curve after using phones with a physical
keypad. I am slowly getting used to the features but I need plenty of
practise before I can send texts or enter data through the keypad. I find it
very sensitive and when arrowing up/down menu items the cursor jumps around
quite a lot and I sometimes find I have selected something I didn't want. I
have slowed down the keyboard delay to 500ms but I feel it is still too
sensitive. Any suggestions most welcome.
Also, I wrote to Steve Nutt as I purchased the Telorion package through him to
ask how I can copy my contacts from my N86 into the Samsung phone without
having to type them in manually and he said to save them in CSV format and
import it into the Samsung phone using a link on a gmail account. We already
have a gmail account as our e-mails come through the gmail.com server. The
backup function on the N86 saves contacts and other personal data in a file
with an .arc extension. How can I convert the archived file into csv format?
I'm sure I can speak for quite a few on this list when using a touchscreen
phone for the first time. I have almost got to the point of throwing it in
frustration trying to enter data. I just switched it off and did something
completely different. I won't give up, I know I will master it in the end.
Anyone thinking about purchasing a phone with Telorion installed, I highly
recommend you do so.
Best wishes,
Clive pallett
