Hi.

That was probably hal for pocket PC or Pocket Speeks from Coding Workshop.  
Ridiculus I think.

  Yes, I found a product to make PDA's accessible last night and as soon as I 
got excited about this new possibility, I read the rice tag - £300.00!

    Just think about it.  With all these multimedia applications like mobile TV 
and video etc, the one screen will act as an interface and viewing screen.  I 
think it was the Ipod or something similar that was the first device that 
really took off with a graphical Mac like file browser interface.  Now of 
course, you can use them for videos you can download from Itunes and I bet 
mobiles will soon join the rank and file with similar services.  Another 
problem is that Symbian though made accessible only works on a quarter of the 
world's smart phones.  Most of the others use Microsoft Windows CE, XP Tablet 
edition or third party proprietary software.  There are products for Microsoft 
Pocket PC like Pocket Hal, but they are mighty expensive.

        Hi.

        Well, just wait.  The trend now is for the touch screen and graphical 
interface.

          I had looked at the RNIB phone but I didn't really think it very 
practial (Like many things from the RNIB). I know the phones are not designed 
for Talks and we're only lucky we can use them by chance, that's the problem! 
By nature the phones that are compatible with Talks are the camera/vidio ones 
and that is really annoying when you  were used to using a small phone and 
didn't want to go backwards.

            Hi Barbara,
            The only reason we can have smart phones that can handle Talks is 
that we are on the back of a successful mainstream product line.  The mass 
market is for a phone with camera and display and we have to go along with it.
            If you really don't want to have the screen then use the Oasis from 
the RNIB.  Sadly it is not a mainstream product and although having no display 
is no smaller or cheaper.

              The 3230 is fairly sized but from going from using non-Talks 
phones such as the 1100, 3100 etc to the Talks compatible models it is a big 
leap in size. And all because of a massive screen we don't even need!

                Hi.

                Well, I saw the N70 as I was offered it as a free upgrade but 
it isn't worth the Extra.  I have a 6680 which suits me fine.

                  Hi Ibraham,
                    The consolation is that the smaller the phone the harder it 
is to find.  I have an N70 which has the advantage of being thin, and fits in 
my pocket without a bulge.

                    Hi Everyone.

                    In response to Barbra's question, I have looked at the 
Symbian device list and it would seem that only a limited number of phones can 
run talks as most of the other manufacturers use either phones with touch 
screens or the new graphical symbian interface called UIQ.

                    Unfortunately, I can't find any phone that runs the S60 
interface that doesn't have a camera.  I don't know about size, but you can be 
sure that most of the phones that are coming out these days will have these 
large screens and high resolution cameras which will inevitably mean chunky 
units for the foreseeable future.  If anyone knows any different, please fill 
us in on this.

                    Best wishes, Ibrahim Gucukoglu
