very very good indeed. i am sure more people will tell you of more good
podcasts to listen to cool blind tech is very good as well. it's a mine field
and as jackie says the new kapsys phone with buttons is a different approach to
the touch screen. hth.

great attitude niki if you have someone good to teach you it goes a very
long way. you have to do what you want to do with tech. it can be very
daunting there's some very very good podcasts that one can find and listen
to but having a good friend to help does go a long way. also there are good
books to read but it's learning what you want to do which is very important
of course.

It's just personal preference, and good onya to all the clever techy

That makes sense
I'm not in a position to be able to buy an Iphone, so the
inexpensiveness
suits my budget and also the fact that I can access all the RNIB
library books. I totally agree with what you say about the shelf life
though and hope that this isn't going to be an issue.
The fact you only get 3 GB's of data per onth is also a turnoff forsavy people, but you can connect it to existing wifis.

Hi Nicki
I will try to be objective and put myself in the position of you or
been designed with simplicity in mind. It wouldn't be for me because
I have Smartphones that offer so much more for so much less. For #20
a month over two years with no flexibility to use the handset for
anything else, that is its big problem for me. However, it lets you
use one button to retrieve newspapers and magazines without all the
challenges of general Smartphone use. And if it works for you, then
that is great. I have concerns about the shelf life of the product
and RNIB's ability to support it given so much of what happens with
the organisation tends to turn into a shambles! I hope it works out for
glitch?having one button and a series of commands. I have the sonata plus,
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Sam and Jackie
Jackie, that's the exact reason I ordered it, for the simplicity of
just
inininternet radio with podcasts, newspapers, magazines and online
feeds* plus heaps of books, but this is very easy for someone to
operate with the techy ability I have. I have the Ipad mini which I
operate in conjunction with my Brailenote apex.
Jackie, out of interest, what flaws do you think it has? I amas I have a 14 day cancellation period so need to know any potential

pitfalls from users/p who know.
