The only thing to keep in mind is that the mobile products currently run on
the third edition of the Symbian operating system. It also looked like
there's only one or two phones that run all of the necessary specs. With the
cost of the screen reader ($300), the cost of the phone (unknown), and the
cost of the reading software, it may just be cheaper for most of us to buy
the KNFB Reader itself, eh?
Respectfully,
Jedi

I am posting the below. But first, from the web:
The Mobile Reader Product Line from knfbReading Technologies, Inc. is a
major advancement in portability and functionality of print access for
blind, vision impaired and those with reading difficulties.
The knfbReader Mobile and kReader Mobile software packages run on a
multifunction cell phone which allows the user to read mail, receipts,
handouts and many other documents wherever the user happens to be.
