Well it is coming and it is from Code Factory and is very basic and would not do anything like Talks or the complete code Factory software. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Damon Rose" <damon.rose@xxxxxxxxx>

I believe some of the new Vodafone phones have a built in free screenreader.

Saqib,

As I understand it, there is no UK business directory that Siri can hook into yet, so one limitation is that you can't get answers to questions like "what restaurants are nearby", or "when's the next train to Cardiff". News of when such a directory will become available is pure speculation as Apple haven't given a date, but I've heard people mention January/February.

How is Siri limitted in the UK?  I'm due for an upgrade tomorrow and
Symbian is out of the question so I'm left with the Iphone. If Siri is
not what the glossy adverts claim then I might go for the original
Iphone4 as it will bring the monthly cost down. If not then I can get
a like new one from Amazon for £300 or the old 3GS model for £140.
The reason why I want a Iphone is that a lot of my favourite apps are
accessible and as I have a Ipod! I have the experience of using a IOS
device. Texting is a concern as I I'm still slow with texting as
practising on the Ipod hasn't really increased my speed dromatically.

Hi Barry

I'm with you.  It's why I dumped my iPhone and gave it to my son.  I
have an iPod Touch, and I love this for at home to download apps and
listen to music.  That suits me.  I use a C5 or my N86 for phone
calls, texting and all the rest.  They can keep the iPhone, it's too
much hassle.

What you needed to do is go into App Switcher, where you press the
home button twice.  In there, it lists the apps which are open, and
you would have seen Safari there if you'd known.  To close it,
double tap, but on the second tap, hold your finger down until VO
says "Edit" or something, then you lift your finger and double tap
each app that is open to close it.
Once
App Switcher tells you there are no apps currently open, you know
you are safe.

But what a carry on, forget it! (lol).

Sorry, I can't give you a reason for sticking with it unless your
contract provider will let you switch to something a bit more savvy.
Trouble is that Talks and proper keypads are becoming so scarce.

Good luck.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Subject: [access-uk] I-phone too long winded

Hi all

I've recently discovered, through a fairly large phone bill, that I
need to go through some sequence that is akin to a Freemasans
handshake to close an app such as Safari.  In essence, I've searched
the net, pressed the home button to  close it, so I thought, and got
on with my day.  However, as I-phone users hopefully know, it did
not close but carried on in the background until I shut off the
mobile at night.

I'm sorely tempted to go back to my Nokia N86, on which I just
pressed one button to close a so-called app.  Texting is so much
easier and I've got K-nfb reader too.

The I-phone makes a nice I-pod accessory and has some gimmicky app's
that I would use once in a blue moon, but to do anything is too long
winded to use as a simple mobile.

I'm on a two year contract, but I'm willing to lose money on the
deal just to go back to simple.

So, guys, I'm looking for a good argument why I should keep my
I-Phone 4 and not go back to my N86.

Cheers

Barry
