Chip, The KNFB Reader Mobile only runs on a Nokia N82 at the current time. This is because the N82 has a 5 megapixel camera and a xenon flash which provide the quality picture needed for accurate OCR. The phone runs on the Symbian 60 3rd Edition operating system and works on GSM networks such as AT&T and T-Mobile. There are no phones on Verizon or Sprint that currently meet the specifications for the Reader.

Would you happen to know if that reader can run on other phones?
