My husband decided to upgrade his phone to the LGVX4650 yesterday. The
store did not have the software I wanted, or the USB cable. The only thing
I hate is how I have to use the keyboard to enter a contact's name. I don't
think of the alphabet as numbers and it takes way too long for me to get the
numbers in there.
I need to go connect my book port and update the firmware and software. I
have ignored the poor baby too much in the past four weeks. Maybe I should
try to catch up on the podcasts I have been ignoring on the BP after I
transfer them that is.
Not enough hours in the day for me lately, especially with working, those
hours are very long indeed.

Hi Rose,
I got a LG VX4650 a month ago. I think you will like it a lot. not as
powerful as a cell phone with talks but it does do a very acceptable job.
Enjoy,
Rick

I have had my book port since September and I don't think I have ever reset
it. However, over the past four weeks it has been relegated to the shelf
while I acquaint myself with the newest features in the Braille Note M-power
7 which I use at work a lot and to my new LGVX 4650 cell phone which I got
yesterday. I know once all the dust settles from the phone and the Braille
note the book port will be back in my pocket while I do household chores or
in my bed when I want to read at night.
Also, I was up on the regional library site a few weeks ago and selecting
books I'd like to read and did not pay attention to those that were
automatically check as rush items, suddenly instead of my normal six books
on hand I have about 15 of them. I generally listen with the speed cranked
up but it is taking me a while to get that backlog under control.
Obviously, I have a lot of reading/listening sources and use them all but
now I am also over a month behind on the few podcasts I was listening too.
I need a vacation just to catch up on all my projects.

Hi Rick and list:
Occasionally, you will have to reset the command. This has never caused any
loss of data.
Cheers,
Dave
