Hi, For a full list of phones currently supported, go to: http://www.nuance.com/talks/phones.asp I have just got the N70 yesterday (I managed to get my old phone washed!). You could probably pick up the 6680 from most places on a range of deals (a lot of the other models are a bit outdated now), and this phone is between the 6630 (which was the model I had and got washed), and the N70 (which is the third generation). They are neat phones with plenty of features. Also plenty of people are selling these on Recycle-it list, some preinstalled with Talks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Logue Sent: 12 February 2006 11:05 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: {SPAM/L} [access-uk] Re: talx Hi Barry and Ray. Barry, You wrote: It runs on series 60 and 80 phones. But you use a 7610. Is this more advanced than the 60 80 series? Or is the 7610 in that same 60 80 grouping. I take it also that these phones themselves are up in the 100 pounds region. Does it matter which provider I go with. I like T mobile and would like to stick with them. I've been on the internet, looking at prices, but they don't like to give them out, do they. Perhaps I'll give Steve an email and see what he can put together for me. Sounds great though. Many thanks. Peter From beautiful Helensburgh on the Firth of Clyde.

It runs on a range of Series 60 and 80 phones, most of them Nokia, and gives you almost total access to all of the features of the phone. The series 60 and 80 are smart phones, which means that they are almost a PDA and you can load additional software onto them, for example, the Wayfinder GPS system. You load on the TALKS software and it's a pretty damned fine screen reader for these little beasties. I use a Nokia 7610 and have access to the internet, to email, to TXT messages, to my contacts, diary, to do lists etc. and can change almost all of the settings at will, ringtones, whether or not my caller ID is sent, for example. I also get to see who is calling me when I get an incoming call. In short, I now have access to almost all of the features that these very powerful little devices now have to offer. Add a bluetooth QWERTY keyboard and you have something with almost the capabilities of things like the braillenote or the FS equivalent offering for a fraction of the price, although it will cost you a bit more to get the Braille bits to work that way - but I don't know why you would bother with the Braille option unless you were deaf-blind. In fact, it is actually able to do a lot more than these devices in many ways... You buy the phone on whatever contract/tariff/deal you fancy and then buy the software from your friendly local TALKS dealer, install it and away you go. I got mine from Steve Nutt at Computer Room Services - give him a call, he won't do the pressure sell but will give you straight answers and a good service. Talk to him. I think Steve can supply the phones as well if you want. I would not/could not survive without TALKS.

See, shows how much I know.I just hear about this fantastic phone that is worth two hundred and fifty pounds and I wonder wwhy. It's a nokea, I think, and it comes with software, Talx I believe. Why is it worth that much. Does its menus speak? Can you read its text messages? Why are folks so ready to part with two hundred and fifty pounds for a phone?
