[Reader-users] Still Trying To Decide On The Upgrade

[Kathy Davis]

I have heard from so many blind people that they do not like Mobile Speak
and believe that Talks is far superior.  

Can one get Talks on the phone that uses the new reader?

Hello Jonathan and others,

This tidbit caught my ear:
?>Note that web surfing is only possible with talks at this time, not with
Mobile Speak.

That's a pretty big note that I hadn't caught in reviwing things previously.
I'm right on the cusp of purchasing my reader and should do that this week.
As such I'm concerned that I hadn't caught that tidbit.  I'm definitely
putting a reader on it and had elected Mobile speak but now have some
reservations.

I did join your list moments ago for blind symbian users but thought this
list an appropriate one to understand what other key difference may exist
between talks or Mobile Speak for this particular phone/product?

Is the web access close?

Are either thinking about adding the coding to allow reading of the new NLS
formats which would truly make this device an all in one for the blind user?

Thanks for any and all opinions or information - particularly on the screen
reader variances and shortcomings on this phone/product.
