Hi Derek,

Sorry I don't know much about the phones you mentioned, but I just wanted to point out that Talks supports Brail input and output. So Talks compiled with a Brail display could be a solution for you to get access to text messages. It might be a pricy solution for your needs though.

All the best,
Amro

Subject: [access-uk] mobile phone handsets easy to use



Hi  All
Anyone any  thoughts, suggestions on the following please.

I need  a mobile phone that is easy to use (meaning the buttons are
easily felt.

Screen  doesn't matter because I am blind!
No need for talks, because I am also deaf!
I only  need the phone for emergency use.
Like when out, and want to phone family to let them know I am ok etc.
So  doesn't matter I cannot here, because they will know it's me!

o2  have suggested:
nokia 1101 but the handset is out of stock.
The sony ericsson J230i is easy to use but doesn't have soft keys and has
no indent on the number 5 key.
The last suggestion was the nokia 6101 this one is a flip phone type,
so  it closes up over the keys when not in use.
But is  far more expensive than the Sony model.

Now I am wondering could the number 5 key on the sony model be marked
with say High Marks.
nokia 6101 would i think be ok, but it's stupid to pay for expensive
handset when all it has to offer can't be used, like I wouldn't be able to
use the internet servcie with it, or its camera etc.



Regards, Derek
