Built-in TTS vs MobileSpeak/Talks

[Stephen Giggar]

Cy

Well if you are going to wait until AT&T starts carrying the Nokia N82; Then you will be waiting 
until the sun explodes. The N82 is to much phone for AT&T and even then after they got done with it; 
You wouldn't want it. Look what they did to the N75 as far as what they crippled and stripped out!

Sure the unbranded N75 is much better but AT&T doesn't carried it that away.

Your bet would be to wait until the N82 comes down to a price point that you are happy with and then 
buy it outright. That is providing your price point is a good price point for the functionality of 
the phone that you would be buying. Probably within a year; It will be down to about the $300 to 
$350 price point. I have found it for under $500 already!

Then their is the factor when it does get down to a price point that you would buy it at, along 
comes another phone with better specs to set you waiting again! <chuckle>

>>Hi Olusegun,

>>Thanks for the information.  In follow-up, though, have you used the
>>built-in TTS of the newest LG phones to compare its functionality with
>>that of MobileSpeak?  In comparing the prices, I'd have to spend $300
>>for MobileSpeak Pocket, plus at least $250 for a Smart Phone capable of
>>running Windows Mobile, compared to getting a phone with just the
>>built-in TTS for a total of $50 or less -- That is a large prices
>>difference for I-DON'T-KNOW-WHAT improvement in accessibility.
>>
>>If anyone out there has the LG enV (VX9900) and can attest to the pros
>>and cons of its built-in TTS, I would greatly appreciate it.

>>MobileSpeak will work primarily on phones with the Symbian software.
