information on to a friend of mine who is Nokia is coming to the end of its
life!

Hi Eleanor.
That's very interesting. It's horses for courses. Some customers prefer the
blind shell and some the older Nokias. We're supplying both and are still
able to repair Nokias as well. Whatever works best for the customer.
Cheers,
Mo.

I got my hands on one last night and I was very disappointed with the
buttons. while they were large I found it difficult to feel the outer edge
of each button. after some time it became easier to the touch, certainly not
as clearly defined as the ones on the Nokia.

Hi Mo
I am very pleased to see the phone becoming more popular, it’s what a lot
of people want when they are unable to, or struggle with, using a
Smartphone. I use my iPhone a lot for various apps, but having Blind Shell
is great. I know this might be a little contentious, but I think the name
Blind Shell puts people off. It comes across as being outdated or so
garden-walled that only the very technology basic could use it. Not a bit
of it though, it’s as useful as anything I have. Not sure what I would
call it, but Blind Shell wouldn’t be it! (smile.)
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Jackie.
I totally agree. Although we have not officially announced it yet, we are
now supplying the Blind Shell in the UK as well and are in contact with the
developers. If anyone would like any assistance, please don't hesitate to
get in touch with us directly and we'll do our best to help you out.

Hi Mo
Many thanks indeed, job done on both, now we have Google voice!! I think
dealers should do this as a matter of course before distributing the
handsets, but I don’t think Cobolt has a clue quite frankly.
Kind regards,

Hi.
Go to settings, and press star 3 times and hash 4 times. This should take
you to the phone's advanced menu. Try changing your language from US to UK
and see if that helps.
Cheers,
Mo.

Hi, I have reported this to Honza.
It makes no sense. There should be some way, to reset my black phone, to UK
english.
I’m guessing, there will be some kind of code, as i can’t see them writing
different software for each country.
They should put this information, on their website, and in the userguide.
Or even better, put it as an option on the phone. But maybe, that would
make too much sense.
I really like this phone, compared, to other phones of this kind. But why,
can’t they get the most simple things right.

Hi Jackie,
It sounds like some of these phones are set to US English instead of UK
English, and there appears to be no means of changing the language.
I would report this to Honza if I were you, he is the developer.
All the best

Hi Dave
My husband and I both have Black handsets, and the voices comprise seven
American voices, four female and three male, both running the same software
update as yourself. I’m intrigued, so wonder if it’s the red version that
has the extra voices?
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi members.
I have 2 Blindshell classic handsets.
I was playing about with both of them this morning.
I am running the same software version on both of them, which is 466, which
is the latest.
However, I noticed, that 1 of the phones, has 18 voices, with a British
female voice.
The other phone, has only 7 voices, and is using an american female voice.
I purchased both phones from Cobolt, a couple of weeks apart.
The only difference is, i purchased 1 of each colour.
I have looked all through the settings, and i can’t find anything to
rectify this strange issue.
Can anyone advise?
Many thanks,
Dave.
