Hi Yvonne and Eleanor

Phone switch plus a phone set up wizard that will run you through all sorts of interesting settings can be found in 'Tools'. I'd recommend the wizard.

Cheers

Barry

You are right phone switch is a more effecient means of transferring data
from one phone to another.  I would have thought that someone with an N86
could tell you how to get to phone switch. Phone switch does indeed use the
Bluetooth mechanism for transferring data.  I would have also thought you
should be able to remove a memory card without sighted assistance but again
I could be wrong.  On all my phones I have no difficulty in removing a
memory card but maybe you have dexterity problems. Someone should again be
able to tell you the procedure for removing a memory card from the N86.
Finally the OCR is Bayos or something like that, I have not got the spelling
correct.  It is a software package which can now be used on Mobile phones
with Talks and costs in the region of £75 but again I can stand corrected.

 I wonder did you use phone switch to copy your contacts.

 no i used the old fashioned blue tooth and the long winded way of opening
text message and move to contacts list
 not sure what phone switch is
 but from what i can make out it is a quicker way of transferring data
   One way of knowing if they are on the memory card is to take out the
memory card and see if they are there on the phone.

 for this i will need sighted assistance
 i can do that myself on my e90 but this handset is not so easy
   You might also like to take out your SIM card to check for certain in
case they are on the SIM.

again this would require sighted assistance but i will certainly see about
those last two suggestions thank you.
  Are you talking about OCR technology?  I am not sure.  That is Optical
Character Recognition which blind people use when scanning in a document
(print) to read with a screen reader.

 i got an email from the previous owner he said this is something used to
scan things like menu's in restaurants etcetera but he did not get on with
it
 mind you i have not found anyone yet that has
 i also heard that this software is not all that reliable
 he did inform me that sight and sound do a version for £650
 not able to afford that unless i can get a grant or funding
 so once again thank you for your help

     hi last night i copied my contacts from my e90 to the n86
     however i may of copied them to the memory card instead of the phone
memory
     how do i tell where they are if they are on the memory card or the
phone memory and how do i switch from one to the other?
     and of course if they are on the  memory card how would i transfer
them to the phone memory?
     and what is a o b c reader or whatever it is called what is it and
what does it do

     Yvonne
