Well I would have thought they should be buying the appropriate Blackberry and
software from Humanware for blind people. In the meantime I have different
phones, all that support e-mail and Internet. You mention a Nokia C5 and that
is OK but I would not go for that, even though I own one myself. It is one of
the cheaper models on the market with very small screen and has no wi-fi
capability so Internet access and e-mail will be via contract service provider
only. There are the Nokia E7, E6 and E5, all of which you might like to
consider running Talks Premium. Talks Premium costs £150 (I think) for IMEI
based and if you purchase Talks that is SIM based it is more expensive. There
are many people on this list, I hink who use touch screen iPhone so that is
another option. Finally of the 3 Nokia phones I mentioned the E5 is not touch
screen while the E6 and E7 are both touch screen and controlled by qwerty
keypad. The E5 also has a qwerty keypad.

Hi All
Looking for a bit of help for a colleague at work she was due to be issued
with a blackberry for receiving emails and so on while away from the office.
But for obvious reasons they are totally inaccessible and the software from
America never seems to have arrived here in the UK. So we are looking for some
help with a decent talks compatible phone that would allow email to be sent and
received. Someone had mentioned about a Nokia C5.
On the other side of things if the employer is offering blackberry's to
sighted staff am I correct in thinking they should be buying the appropriate
phone and talks for blind employee.
Thanks
Sam
