TALKS might be synthetic, but the comparison I was making with the RNIB's Oasis
phone which is far more synthetic. As for a non-Nokia phone, I was just
interested as the alternatives seem to be smaller handsets which is what I
would ideally like, but I might have to sacrifice this for a functional phone.

I would never describe the Eloquence voice used by Talks on my N70 as
anything other than synthetic.
Why all this effort to use a non Nokia phone.
I think the main thing is to be using a mainstream phone, even though we need
special software to make it accessible.

The voice is extremely synthetic too, unlike TALKS/JAWS.

Well, it has ringtones consisting of snorting pig, mooing cow, naying
horse etc, typical RNIB treating their customers like they were five years old

So I'm not the only one who wouldn't listen to any technical advice
given by the RNIB. I responded to an add in one of their magazines about their
range of accessible phones only to find that range consisted of one phone - the
famous (Or rather infamous) Oasis.

Well, that just shows that RNIB have got it wrong again. Does it
have anything to do with their promotion of the Oasis phone.

I had a 3G phone once in the shape of the Nokia 6630 and
TALKS worked fine with that.

Hi Barbara,
Yup, I used a Panasonic X700, basically, forget it! In
fact, I'd advise you to avoid any phone other than Nokia for talks. Reason for
this is that Nokia developed the Simbian platform and apparently, the version
they licence to other manufacturers is not the same version. There are some
variations which affects the performance of Talks with them.

Hi all
Has anyone on here ever used a phone other than a Nokia
with TALKS? If so, what was the handset and how well did it work?
Cheers.
