Hi Sunil. Can you tell us a little bit more about the table index
function or point us at a web page? I've done a quick google and got
nothing particularly obvious.
Thanks

Well said. I've been using an iPhone since November and although it took
a couple of weeks to master, so did my Nokia and Talks when I started
out with that. The battery life is fine, I can use the table index
function to pinpoint contacts quickly and I've bought far more
applications for it than I ever used on my Nokia.

Hello Damon and everyone
I went over to the I phone at the end of last year because my old nokia
n95 was falling apart and my contract was up for renewal. I would have
probably gone for the N 97 had it been fully supported by talks, but now
I have the I phone I haven't looked back since. It works straight out
of the box and a simple link up to iTunes and going into the settings
menu and finding accessibility will activate the voice over immediately.
Yes, there is a learning curve, but once you have played around with it
for a while you do become more comfortable with it and that is when you
start to wonder how on earth you ever got on without it. Also, you also
learn more ways of doing various things through various gestures as
well. All the best Martin
