HI.
you can get an n86 from nokia, price £299 and I would recommend this phone
if you like big phones. got a swish camera too, eight megapixel, and the
build is good. great for one handed operation, if a bit large.

Eleanor,
Sorry, I have used a N70, E 65 and currently a 6210 Navigator; all Nokias.
I like the music player, and ability to video and take a picture, as I can
do this if I need to send a picture to my wife, or someone else, say
regarding a piece of funiture, whether it is suitable etc.
Calculator and converter functions are useful and calendar and notes. I
would of have liked Sat nav, but not sure how accessible it is, I don't find
mine on the 6210 very accessible.
Not sure about the touch screen phones, as I usually have the phone in my
pocket; perfect combination for a burst screen!
Thanks,
Mike

Mike I disagree with you about the qwerty which is excellent once you know
the keyboard. I found it strange at first but persevered and love it now
and am as quick on it as I was on the numeric one. Indeed I was painfully
slow in the beginning. It depends on whether you are going to have Talks
put on by Vodafone or get an unbranded phone. Getting the unbranded gives
you more choice as these service providers have very rapid turnover. On the
other hand there are people with no vision using touch screens, personally I
would not recommend it though I have one but use my residual vision with it.
maybe one day I will be good at it without looking but I doubt it. I think
you want to get a list of compatable phones either on the RNIB website,
Sight and Sound website or Blindsea website then armed with that go around
the shops and try and get your hands on one so that you can feel for
yourself what it is like. You do not tell us ifyou have been using a mobile
phone and Talks up to this and if so what model?

Hi all,
I am looking for a new mobile. I am a totally blind person, so talks etc
will be necessary.
Technology does not bother me, I can adapt quite quickly.
I am not sure about the Qwerty layout, I think it would be hard to use with
one hand, if on the move etc; as Damon mentioned about the iPhone.
Suggestions would be appreciated,
Kind regards,
Mike
