Hi Steve,
Indeed the reason was due to the flash on the N95 8 GB.
The N82 does however still come with a 2 GB mini SD card

Hi Steve
I think there were issues for why it didn't work on the N95. I don't know if
it is the flash side of it or what, but the N82 is the preferred phone at the
moment.

Hi Jackie,
I wonder what would happen if you put it on the N95? The N95 has the
same spec camera, and all that, so it should work.
All the best
Steve

Hi Andy
I understand that the Inland Revenue has said that the product cannot
be zero-rated because it is a commercially available phone which is just being
layered with software. So some sort of compromise has been reached where there
has to be some rating implemented as a halfway house I guess.
And yes, the software is about £1,100 on its own if you want it for
your N82, but bear in mind it has to go on the N82 if you have one.

Jackie - Thanks for checking this out for us.
do you understand why this has a vat rating at all, when
software such as JFW and TALKS is 0 rated? Are you abel to confirm that the
software alone cost £1080? -

Subject: [access-uk] K-NFB Reader comes to mobile phone
Hi All
Please forgive me for cross-posting this information,
but I know there are individuals on lists that will want to be aware of it.
Some know I have the K-NFB Reader, and have read that
it is to be launched on a mobile phone with TALKS. As I have been asked about
the cost, I decided to check this out to pass on, so below is what I have been
advised by Sight and Sound, who are the only UK dealer for this project.
The K-NFB Reader software will come on an N82 mobile
with TALKS Premium. If you buy the whole thing from scratch, it will cost
£1,725 plus a VAT rating of 5%. This includes a couple of hours training.
If you already own a K-NFB Reader, and wish to trade it
in for the mobile containing all the above software, it will cost £885 plus a
5% VAT rating.
Additionally, there are other options you can consider.
These include purchasing the K-NFB software on its own to put on an N82 you
may wish to purchase separately.
Currently, the N82 is the only mobile which supports
this software.
I haven't seen the phone myself so I don't know what
its specifications are, but it shouldn't be too difficult to obtain them by
looking on
www.expansys.com
or other mobile phone outlets such as Vodafone, O2,
Orange etc.
There has not yet been an official launch of this
product by Sight and Sound, but this information has come from Mervyn
Robertson, so it is valid and up-to-date.
Hope some of you find this useful.
Jackie
