Hello Neil,
Two questions please:
1. How much is Talks?
2. If I buy talks and later move to another phone, do I get to take it with
me?
Thanks
Isaac

Sharon,

Supplementary to Aman's list, I would just point out that there are several
other things to consider;

The two main types or perhaps even the only two types of phone we as blind
folk can access at present are Windows based phones or Symbian ones. The
Symbian ones are primarily made by Nokia...

Firstly Only Code Factories Mobile Speak product will at present work on
Windows based devices, whereas both Nuance the makers of Talks and Code
Factory's offering will work on Symbian phones.

This does not mean that Mobile Speak is better than Talks. Talks can do some
things that MS cannot such as browsing the internet whilst on the phone,
something which at this time you may think you'll never wish to do, but as
you become more confident etc you might like.

Anyhow, the other thing I would add at this choice stage is that Windows
based phones may also be a little more complicated, Symbian phones tend to
be a little more structured and refined, offering you a basic level of
features and services with a high degree of options below the surface if you
wish to dig down and find them. Where as Windows ones have them all up front
and you may as a new user find yourself quickly in over your head.

OK so once you're in on a choice then get your self a demo of each Talks and
MS, that is provided you go down the Symbian route, play with each and once
you've made a choice find yourself a dealer and make your purchase.

Talks and MS will other than the internet and a few other differences both
do the same thing, text messages, contacts etc.

As for GPS, this topic has been briefly touched upon in other messages, but
you can read all about Wayfinder at:

If you have further questions please feel free to ask, either on list or to
service at talknav.com

Regards.

Hello all,

I was using one of those phones that look like they are from the dinosaur
age-- analogue, large and clunky and most primitive basic but it is not
working so I have to do some quick research as I like to have the security
of the cell for emergencies. Due to the antequated nature of my old phone, I
did not use it a lot but would like to get to the 21st century.

I would like to be able to maintain an address book/contacts. i would like
to do texting if possible.

What sorts of questions do I need to ask? Cell providers have been at a loss
as to what to recommend.

Is there anything on the horizon to do GPS as well that is going to be
affordable? I understand cell phon rates in Canada are huge by contrast to
some places and that there is much to be considered.

Thanks for any advice.

Sharon
