Today I think I find some components that could be updated over the air. Says, 
go to 'software update' option and there are a list of updates. I have to mark 
three of them and update over the wireless lan. The problem is left on the 
first component that could not be reached, because it requires PC to do it. 

I think OVI suite is not fully access since it was born, and software updater 
is not friendly for the latest version. Does anyone know how to update the 
firmware without sight assistance?  

Cheers, Eakachai

The E6 does not currently access the Internet with Talks.
I have similar problem to what you describe in your first question, re the 
middle and the time announce.  Strange thing is I do not even have to 
accidentally touch the screen for this to happen.  There is a middle on-screen 
button there and if tapped will indeed bring up a small screen or window with 
the time on it!  Maybe this is a current bug in Talks on the E6.  Anyjone else 
experiencing this prjoblem?  Finally you cannot expect the E6 to behave in the 
same way as the iPhone even though there is voice-over on the iPhone.  The 
speech on both are different.  As for exploring the screens to know what icons 
are there and what are not, I really think the only way you will achieve this 
is by exploring the screen yourself by sliding your finger all around it or 
having the assistance of a sighted person who can see what is on screen and you 
then exploring with your finger to see if you locate as much as the sighted 
person can see.

      Thanks for your quick reply and allow me to leave a few questions for 
further clarity.

  1. Why it always says 'middle key' and follows by the current time. For 
example, when I touch around the navigation key at the middle of the phone or 
on the screen, it may say 'middle 9:00 pm'. Sometimes it speaks up while I'm 
doing something but not sure.

  2. As I'm really familiar with iPhone gesture input like brushing with 
multiple fingers, rotering on the screen with two fingers and so on. These kind 
of gesture input is not possible for Talks and E6-00? So far I'd read through, 
it seems to me like I can do only a single touch on the screen for executing an 
object, after the desired item has been reached and read out loud. Though how 
can we make sure that all items on the screen have been fully accessed.

  3. Do you find it's difficult to navigate over a webpage using gesture-based 
input? I can't move around the long page with quick key facilities and scroll 
down the page and so on. The best job I can do at the moment is tap on the 
lower-right or left cornor of the screen to expand the menu items. How can I 
slide to the new page etc?     

  Yours, Eakachai

  There is a chapter in the Talks Manual which you may have downloaded at the 
same time as you downloaded the Talks from the TalkNav site.  In addition you 
could look at the latest release notes for the Talks just released in August.  
As for the Eloquence, you choose one of the new 3 Eloquence files.  I am in the 
uk and my choice was the Eloquenceeng.sis.  It works well on the E6.

    Dear all, 

        I got a Nokia E6-00 handset yesterday from a Thai local shop. I did 
install Talks, the latest version from Talknav site; however, I noticed there 
are three packages for eloquence. Should I install these three sis files or 
should I use the old? I noticed that the sound quality is pretty low, when I 
put them on my old phone Nokia N82, and the speaker for my new seems to be 
poorer than the old. Why Nuance has to break TTS into several installer? 

    Aside from these, are there any video tutorial or demonstration of how to 
use Talks for Touch-screen-based phone? I decided to buy Nokia E6-00, because I 
believe qwerty keyboard is still there.

    Sincerely,

    Eakachai
