Hi Hussein.
I don't want to catch you wrong footed, but I wasn't even aware that talks
supported the N8 which is a touch screen phone sporting the new Symbian Meego
operating system if I'm not mistaken. Talks has neither been tested with nor
guaranteed to work with this phone, so I don't know whether its even worth
considering at this stage. Of course you'll have no trouble with the E52,
indeed I have its cousin the E55. If Nokia are developing a screen reader, I
haven't heard anything and I'm one to keep my ear close to the ground, however
I might have missed something. Usually when Nokia talk about accessibility,
its usually just paying lip service and I haven't been paying much attention to
them lately.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [talks-uk] Nokia N8 screen reader queries
Hello,
I appreciate this is not exactly a Talks question, and hope this won't lead
to a big off-topic debate (much as I would love to participate in one!) but...
I have a Nokia N8 and Nokia E52 on order due for delivery later this week.
I'm not too concerned about the E5, but I have a couple of questions about the
N8. I've had a lot answered by a contact within Nokia, but due to holidays,
health issues, etc., I haven't been able to get them all answered and would
like to plug the gaps, so to speak, before the phone arrives.
1. The Nokia N8 ships with Symbian 3. Will this be backwards compatible with
S60 9.x applications?
2. I was told from within Nokia that there were plans afoot to introduce
Nokia's own screen reader in the near future. Has anyone heard if this is
actually something that has been implemented in the N8?
For the second question, I've already got hold of the N8 firmware files but
haven't had the time to look into them and check them for myself, hence my
asking.
As I said, mail me privately if you don't want to clutter up the list, but
otherwise any additional insight is much appreciated.
Thanks as always for your time.
