[Reader-users] The upgrade cost to the reader mobile

Hi -- I'm concerned with the same thing -- is there a way of insuring these 
things? against loss, theft or water damage?  Being without it will indeed 
be difficult if it is used for everything, but if it is used for everything 
it will most certainly wear out quickly.  I'm thinking of my N73 which I 
have had well under a year so it is still under warranty and it is literally 
falling apart from normal use -- I haven't even dropped it -- just carry it 
around and use it as a phone all the time, plus a PDA for all my 
appointments and alarm clock in the morning.
When I get the mobile reader I will only be adding activities.
But I am still anxious to get it.
Cheers all.

I am interested in whether KNFB Reading Technologies has discretion on this
policy in the event that the phone is lost, stolen, or stops functioning
before one has a chance to deactivate?

Hi there,
It is possible to call any member of your contact list via voice command. It
is also possible to add applications to the voice command list allowing you
to launch them. You can do this by navigating to the voice command utility
within tools/utilities.
