I love my talks phone with QWERTY.

feel comfortable using these new fangled touch screens. I am one such. I
still use a phone with the talks screen reader on it. With a qwerty
keyboard. As hard as I have tried, I can't seem to get the hang of these
touch screens. I think there are more blind consumers as am I.

Hi Jackie
Shouldn't the mainstream companies be making their own products
accessible to us all.
In other words, do we really need specialist companies
like FS HUmanware Blazie, Sight And Sound, and so on.

I agree. I never use the browser on mine, it's complete crap to put
it bluntly!

As Mike Townsend pointed out in another context on last night's In
Touch, all of these machines are way behind the curve in terms of the
mainstream software they run, so much so that many modern websites are
simply not usable to them. Even the new Euro Braille model which
Steve Nutt is about to stock is only running windows 7. While i agree
with those who've said that the HIMS products are probably currently
the best, the person who sold me my U2 Mini actually said that he
couldn't envisage any serious web user ever using one of these
machines because the browser is just not up to it and the process is
incredibly slow.

My Braille-Sense 18 is pretty hammered.
Can anybody tell me if there is a better unit out there?
I need it to do the same kind of stuff but better web access and
Also being able to click on a LINK in an email and going directly tothe web site would also be wonderful.
Most of the time even if I can open the email in the web browser itjust freezes.
Cheers
