It is out about 6 months. Many blind people use it. -original message- Subject: [access-uk] Re: Mobile Phone Recommendation From: "Vivien Palcic" <vivienpalcic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 30/12/2010 12:51 pm Is the Nokia C5 a new phone? Whenever I've looked into their phones in the past (to use with Talks or MobileSpeak), I've only found one with what I would consider a decent keypad - tactile, large, easily distinguishable etc. That was the N86, and I still decided not to rush into buying it in the end. The most basic model I was shown at that time didn't work with Talks or MobileSpeak. I can't remember that model, but it wasn't a C5 - I think it was 51 or 50, one of the discontinued models.
