[Reader-users] an additional piece of info regarding not beingable to use shortcut key

Usually when you buy a new cell phone you get a version of PC Suite 
on a CD with the phone, but now that I think of it, I don't believe 
it did come with the n82 and the Reader. Probably because they just 
included the phone because that's what the Reader works on. Some 
people won't decide to actually use it as a phone.

You can get Nokia PC Suite from the Nokia website, but it would be 
easier to get it from the blindsea website. I don't know if you're 
familiar with that site, but it's a site kept up by a couple of very 
knowledgeable guys who are blind with software that runs on a Symbian 
based phone. That's what the n82 is- a third addition version S60 
Nokia Smart phone.  If I'm giving you info you already have, sorry, 
but it sounds like you're pretty new to the world of cell phones. I 
was there about a year ago so I remember trying to get an 
understanding of how things work. I'm still learning, too. The 
blindsea website is

http://www.blindsea.com

You will look under the link for third addition- third party software 
to find a whole list of software that runs on the n82. You will need 
to download Nokia PC Suite on to your home computer and install it 
before you can install any of the other programs there. I have chosen 
to use Talks as my screen reader on my phone so I know most about 
that. If you're aren't using a screen reader to access the other 
functions of your phone then I wouldn't mess around with any of the 
other software unless you have enough vision to see to use the other 
phone's functions. And I don't know which of the programs there will 
also work with Mobile Speak.
