Hi Ibrahim,
I agree about the lack of phone support. It should now at least support the
new FP2 phones, such as the N79, N85, and the excellent N86 with its 8MP
camera. I guess they'll get there, but I hope it opens up to more phones,
even if results are compromised a bit.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve.
I have two criticisms of KNFB reader that in my view will not be putting it
on my wishlist. Firstly. the price as always *smile*, it has to be the most
expensive symbian application there is; However, my main gripe is the
extremely limited number of phones you can use it with. Since in my view
the N82 looks like something out of a fisher price catalog, probably under
the title My First Mobile and the 6220 classic doesn't have wireless,
neither phone appeals.
All the best, Ibrahim.
