Nokia 6620

[Roselle Ambubuyog]

Hello Isaac. I think it would be better for you to also subscribe to mailing
lists with blind people actually using and discussing Windows Mobile-based
devices to get a better idea. We have many happy WM users on our product
lists for MSP and MSS, and they can give you an opinion about the device and
operating system without being swayed by their preference for any screen
reader product or affiliation with companies that support other platforms
and hardware. Unfortunately, I've seen a number of blind people put in
little effort in figuring out a WM device and say it doesn't perform as well
as Symbian phones, when I find that I find no such problems with WM
Smartphones and Pocket PC phones that have specs not as good as the wm
devices they have claimed to have tried and judged not to work for them...
And so do other blind people I have spoken to. In fact, I find my WM devices
more stable than my PACMate QX and BX, and they're definitely easier to sell
when you want to upgrade to a new phone compared to a PACMate. And most of
those I know who have a windows Mobile-powered device also chose to upgrade
to another WM device rather than switch to a Symbian phone, which is, I
find, the less common practice. Anyway, if you want to subscribe to any of
our users lists and get more informed opinion from actual users who really
bothered to learn how to use a WM device, go to

Well, you know this is the first time I've really dealt with a phone of this

nature. I've seen them, but that's it! I've never turned them on or off. 
What about the I-Mate SP5M? Will that be a better phone all around? Just 
want to know before I invest in one. Thanks.
Isaac
