the N86 seems about the best of the phones you stand a chance of being able to get new. otherwise you're looking at one of the E series phones or one of the older phones such as the N82 or similar from EBay. I think computer room services and Talknav will install Talks if you ask but you need to pay for it though its not too much. If you have someone sighted that can help then sending the software to the phone is quite straight forward using bluetooth.you need a talks program file and an eloquence speech synth file or could use realspeak. you can run each installation file separately and accept the defaults. You need to set time and date correctly first and in app manager you need to allow all programs rather than just signed prgrams to be installed which in app manager is under tools and applications management in any case.

Hi, i hope i can make this message make sense...anyway i was given a phone but unfortunately i cant seem to use it so have decided to buy one myself and also i've decided to buy talks. i know the phones these days are a bit hard to use generally. i need a phone where i can feel the buttons and i can define each button. i also had difficulty with the scrolling button. is there any model that is a little more easy to use....ie has a more simple layout and the buttons are more defined? also, am i able to put talks on a phone myself instead of having to send it away for someone to do it for me? thanks for any help and sorry for the length of this enormous message. lol.
