>>> I would suggest that you buy the phone out side of AT&T and just

>>> 1. A unlocked phone.
>>> 2. A unbranded phone that works better.
>>> 3. Doesn't have any of the AT&T stuff on it as far as shareware or 
>>> floatware or any other stuff to slow down the phone.
>>> 4. Getting the phone as Nokia atended it to be put out.
>>>
>>> Also by doing it this way; You will not be required to sign a new

>>>
>>> This will also give you the ability to choose from a good 20 plus

>>> uses.
>>>
>>> Remember; All Symbian series 60 3rd Edition phones will work with 
>>> either Talks or MobileSpeak. And both screen readers will give you a

>>> readers and see what one gives you the needed information you require

>>> Their is no one best screen reader for most phones. It comes down to
