New Phone and Service

Tue Apr 1 14:10:34 CDT 2008

Hi Keith, no the N95 does not support the KNFB Reader, just the N82 with its
fast processor and Xenon flash. This will change in time of course.

I thought that I would only use this when travelling, but in fact I use it
in many situations at home too. For example recently my laptop crashed after
a Windows Update went wrong, and for the first time ever, I was able to read
my PC screen even though I couldn't boot into Windows. There are countless
other examples of labels etc I can now read that I couldn't before. The R&D
on this product must have been significant as for me personally it is well
worth every penny for sure.

In any case, even if you are thinking of getting the software in the future,
the N82 is a great phone. I use it on 3G all day clearing mail etc, and
still have enough battery life to last the day. However 3G won't be an
option for you with this phone, as it only supports 2100 MHz for 3G which is
not used for AT&T, so this may be a consideration.

Hi Jonathan,

I thought that the N95 was the only phone it ran on.  I'll look into the
N82 also.

Thank you,

Keith

Hi keith, if reading documents while on the go is important to you, you may
want to consider the N82, which is an awesome phone and for now is the only
one that supports the KNFB Reader Mobile.

Hi,

Cingular is offering the N75 for $199 with a 2 year contract.
Letstalk.com is offering it for $49 with what looks like the same contract.
Have any of you had any experience with this phone?  Would you consider a
different phone and why?  

Thanks Stephen and others on the list for your advice so far, it has been
helpful.  

Keith
